The Long Winters

Hahhahaha, meg.

Heads down, thumbs up, time to play 7up! Water Balloons! Yatzee! Double Dare with Mark Summers!

I'm sure a pentathalon (at least) could be made out of this.

It's very interesting. We all seem to have different favorites and least favorites. You can't be grossly out of step when everysingleone's got thier own drummer. (though because I hear only my own drummer, I have to say that if you haven't heard New Girl live, you haven't heard it yet.) Also, I'm gl...

Hey Ladies, are you represented? During CMJ, someone on the radio (John?) commented that Barsuk was the label of 30 men. Neko Case and Amy Rigby have both commented that they moved from punk rock to country tunes because they found country was the only place that mature female voices are abundant an...

your avatar is scary. Is that peanut butter?

Live Music: When you are watching live music, how do you watch it? When you watch the singer approach the microphone, what are you thinking? When he/she tilts her head back to sing, what goes through your head? When the song begins does that change? Do you listen to the lyrics? Do you know the lyric...

I have problems with the Strokes. My first instinct is that I like them... the singer is doing something very right, there's plenty good catchy hookiness. But after two or three very enjoyable listens...the oversimpleness of the songs becomes obvious and oppressive. Does anyone else have that proble...

Have mercy.

I nominate Milton Creagh.

How exaclty does this happen?

PBR: It's blended, it's splendid. And it's from Wisconsin.

I vote that Leinie's is also acceptable....it is, afterall, the pride of chippewa falls.

Prince Charles REPRESENT.

hmmm....I too would go with Government Loans, but I think it's that first line...it's heavy, powerful heavy stuff, and I can't handle it. The only song I ever skip on the second album is Bride and Bridle...I used to love it...but the once clever wordplay "bride and bridle are too close in a man's mi...

What depresses me the most about when I goto coffee/tea shops is the people who are drinking a cup of coffee/tea alone. I never drink coffee or tea alone, too many thoughs run through my head when I am drinking and I have no one to tell them to but myself. Seeing someone drinking alone is the most ...

Barsuk Family iCal calendar has been updated to include The Long Winter's Cultural Imperialism Tour 2003! Please let me know if I have confused the city/venue on any of the shows because, honestly, I wondered a few times. A couple other Barsuk band shows have been added as well. Also, I submitted th...

hmmmmm..... I never run into anyone I know online. (Unless y'all are really my friends and neighbors posting under pseudonyms and claiming to be from all over the world. In which case it's possible that I'm on some sort of hidden camera/reality television series. AHHHH! I hope no one is watching me!...

people i am no longer friends w/or date, i am able to still know what they are up to w/o even ever speaking to them again. and really, i don't like that. huh? This confuses me. It's not like the Internet is so small that you find yourself always bumping into them at the virtual grocery store. If yo...

Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.

Friendster has been around for longer than eleven months? ...I'm always so very late to the party.
