The Long Winters

On a side note, Athens is a fun place - you can get liquor at every other street corner, but if you're looking for a gallon of spring water you have to drive outside to Kroger. Aaaah col towns. Unless it's a Sunday -- then you can only get liquor on every other street corner, since one can only dri...

Yes, this is me and Behind the Music legend Leif Garrett. (It's a long, long story)

I saw Azure Ray open for the New Pornographers two years ago and it was definitely snooze-inducing. I felt especially bad because the show was in their (Azure Ray's) hometown. My friend I went to the show with proclaimed, "Man, I would love this if I were 17 and still in high school." My point is, A...

we should definitely make a heathersoftheworldunite.org and only let the cool heathers into our group. Is that like shoplifters of the world, shall we unite and take over? (Five nights of Morrissey at the Apollo, I'm way too excited.) I'm a Heather as well, only I grew up in a pronunciation-challen...

I just saw it last night and it was GOOD, VERY GOOD! One of those movies where you're all 'whoa' and then you're like ' whoooaaa ' and then you're all 'awwwww!' and 'sniffle!' and then you leave the theater terribly happy. I didn't leave the theater terribly happy. I left feeling like I had just be...

When I listen to "Chutes Too Narrow," I often feel the need to dance around like one of those kids in the background of "A Charlie Brown Christmas," especially when "Fighting in a Sack" comes on. That album is just way too catchy. And Hovering, I suggest listening to Camera Obscura and the Mountain ...

I've been listening to Franz Ferdinand, Camera Obscura and the Mountain Goats ad infinitum. That, and John Vanderslice's brilliant "Cellar Door." It's getting me through this semester, I swear...

I have to say that I am quite fond of "Factory Showroom." I love "The Bells Are Ringing," even though it stays in my head for the rest of the day whenever I hear it (as it will today, now that I've mentioned it). I do not, however, love "S-E-X-X-Y." I tend to skip track one, unless I feel like liste...

Great pictures, and it's good to see another Old 97's fan on the board...

When's the wedding? Where are you located? Have you picked a location or officiant yet? Daytime or evening? Are you offering to plan, Grant? :) The wedding is spring '05. I'm in Philadelphia, the nuptials are not (MA/NH). Exact date will be dictated by where we decide to have the wedding. It will b...

It's getting sent out on Monday. I *swear.* I will not be in the same room as my cd collection for the required amount of time until this weekend.

(If anyone would plan my wedding for me, then I would gladly make all the mix CD's in the world...)

The Flaming Lips played the Peach Pit After Dark on 90210. (This was during the "She Don't Use Jelly" days...)

My favorite Steve Sanders quote (well, paraphrase) ever: "I don't really like this alternative stuff, but these guys ROCK!"

I'm a procrastinator, too. Mine's halfway done, and I hope to finish it this week... (Sorry, LSJ) But I did get yours, and it's fabulous....

One of the people in my program was a reporter in Vermont when Dean was governor, and she always talks about how staid he was. She finds it hilarious that he's being criticized for "the scream" (which is just ridiculous anyway). Speaking of Cosby sweaters, did anyone else see that Wesley Clark was a...

When I hear my friends complain about the Modest Mouse minivan commercial (or the Shins McDonald's ad, or any of them for that manner...), I try to remind them that maybe, just maybe, they are not the target audience for said commercial. One of my friends said, "I don't want to be a minivan person!"...

it's not just the record industry. when i worked at a teen magazine, we would have editorial meetings in which the editor-in-chief would exclaim that we needed a "fat girl" (i.e., size 12-14) in the magazine. this was so that we would be able to counter all the arguments that all we had in the mag w...

Redd Kross loves PJ Harvey. There's a single from Phaseshifter (Lady in the Front Row, I believe) that has a cover of "Oh My Lover." My favorite live cover has got to be the Old 97's doing Cheap Trick's "Southern Girls" at the TLA in Feb. 2000. It's my favorite Cheap Trick song, and the 97's are one...

(maybe at this point, i will stick to '90s australian pop bands.)
