True enough, sir, I do not know what I was thinking.
Always love, hmm?

They didn't play Mariner's Revenge? You, sir, were screwed. I saw them earlier this month in CBus, OH. The band closed out their set (pre-encore) with Mariner's Revenge complete with a giant whale on two sticks that supposedly chomped the audience to pieces. Might've been the highlight of the show....

Man, is that band good stuff. They played such a wonderful mix of old and new. Though I was dissapointed that they didn't play Engine Driver or Mariner's Revenge, but apparently I missed out on that last night. Oh well. They played July, July! which was good enough for me. A certain man we all know ...

It takes place on what the retail folks refer to as "black friday". Indeed. not looking forward too it. Maybe I can con my boss into letting me work an early shift that day because God knows it would be impossible to get off. YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME? WHY NOT JUST STAB ME IN THE HEART AND EYES A...

I swear I posted a reply to this already!
But still, Happy birthday Jace.

Oh Yarn.. so clever.

Man, I sign up every year.
For the last.. three.. no, four or five years.
How much have I written?


About one full paragraph.... it's like I sign up just to get consistant email reminders of how much of a slacker I am.

I cannot guarantee quality or unfamiliarity of my song choices, but I would be down to engage in this mix as well.

When I Pretend to Autumn... PRICELESS.

ooooooh john vanderslice. <3
ooooooh nada surf. <3

sometimes i feel like a barsuk whore.

on a somewhat unrelated note, i've been listening to the weakerthans lately.
this may not earn me cool points here, but oh... them's good canadians.

[the awful grammar is on purpose.]

oooh, i'm soo bad at cd swaps. but i'd be down.

that's probably not the most encouraging endorsement.

Yarn wrote:So, about you . . . I heard you look great in baby blue? Am I right?

Actually, I believe turquoise and emerald are more my color, but baby blue works well. It is the color of my favorite shoes.

Damn, that's quick!

Let's see if I can't do it again.

What happened to "always love" Forrest? huh? HUH?

hey, this whole thread thing was supposed to about getting to know me, NOT about getting to know Maroon 5's chub.

Can we please get back to talking about me? Cause i loveitsomuchweshoulddoitallthetime!

Yarn wrote:I agree with the general opinion here. It's a good album, and I am in no way let-down. But it's not my favorite either. I still hold up The Photoalbum and Facts as the best.

Yessss photo album, oh yesssssss. My precious!

It seems that my opinion depends on the day of the week, but I think that offically last night I decided that I like it. Transatlanticism was something of a let down for me, so I was pretty worried about Plans. Overall, it's pretty good. I think I've been trying to look at it as a stand alone album ...

Ah, apologies and do not cry dear! Soon (or perhaps eventually) they will be in your neck of the woods as well! True, they may live hear, but how often have they played here recently? Hmm? HMM? I will admit (against my better judgment) that it was my first full band experience seeing TLW. (It being ...

I wouldn't really call Ica a newbie, she is a regular on the Barsuk board. Welcome to The Long Winters' Elec-Tronic Salon and Discussion Table Ica! Thanks unremarkable! Though, for this purpose, I really am a newbie! I mean, my measly 2 posts vs. your 950? Cripes boy, what do you write about all th...

we're notoriously rough on newbies from Seattle, serves them right for living there. well, I guess that makes sense... don't be <b>too rough</b> on me then? maybe? if you are.. well.. i'll cry. ask around, i'll do it! there should (i hope) be enough kids here who already know/love me that i shall m...

Hello! My name is Ica [pronounced ick-uh]. I hail from the Pacific Northwest Region, township of Seattle. I've known about this wonderful band for quite some time, but it's only recently that my love has developed enough that I feel the need to join interweb discussions regarding them. Please be gen...
