I hate singling out one person among the many in NO who deserve my thoughts, but I can't help hoping that Alex Chilton in particular makes it out okay. I don't know why I'm so damn worried about him; maybe it's because it seemed like he was starting to get his shit together these past few years. Most of all, I hate to think one...

Summer is the season of XTC. Gimme an over-produced clusterfuck of pop brilliance like Skylarking or Apple Venus Vol. 1 over that sad bastard shit y'all love to partake of, 'cause I'm having none of it. I demand chimey guitars and love songs laced heavily with superlatives. Gimme bad puns and triple ententes.
And I want it all RIGHT NOW.

Tonight was a good night. I had fun for the first time in weeks and weeks, and I think it's not gonna go away anytime soon.

I've never heard US Maple, but I saw a negative review of them that made me want to hear them; the review basically boiled down to, "They're too weird/ not melodic enough." Time? The Washington Post? People magazine? No... The Big Takeover. An indie zine.
cheech:
Oh, speaking of bands in your Profile, I saw the funniest thing in the same mag-- the guy from Modest Mouse (Isaac, is it?) said he didn't want to get into questions of what his lyrics were about. His example was, "I was listening to this Bedhead song, and I thought it was about something profound, then I found out it was just about a bedside table," and the interviewer asked, "What's it called?" and Issac had to go check his MP3 file and he found it was called "Bedside Table."
My friend Jenny gave me a promo of the new New Year album tonight... this makes me so happy. I can't begin to describe it, but my excitement is endless right now.
"The men wanna get it on
The women wanna show it off
I just wanna get out of here"
Just brilliant.

"Poor Poor Pitiful Me" by Warren Zevon
I'd lay my head on the railroad tracks
And wait for the Double "E"
But the railroad don't run no more
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
Poor, poor pitiful me
These young girls won't let me be
Lord have mercy on me
Woe is me
Well, I met a girl in West Hollywood
I ain't...

wierd, and I just changed my profile pic to Warren Zevon, oh yeah, I don't even know what I do... but I guess I rub people the wrong way, in a sort of Jackson Pollock pissing in your fireplace way (true story about Pollock)...

and then, of course, Swedish Robyn sang, "Show me love," leading to the fine Swedish film, Show Me Love, aka Fucking Amal.

Nice thoughts... but Amal is a town, dude! 
Falderal is defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary as 1: A useless ornament or accessory and 2: Nonsense. Even more interesting is the etymological root: fol-de-rol, a nonsense refrain in songs. That there exists a word for nonsense refrains in songs, and that these nonsense refrains were once common in the popular song form, is heartening. I like nonsense in songs, even if no one else...

hey, i just noticed your e-mail (i check that account once a day or so) and replied.
My thoughts re: Mission of Burma- OnOffON:
Firstly, "Prepared" may be the best song of the year so far. I'm guessing a lot of people will hate it, though.
Secondly, when four dudes almost as old as my dad rock harder and better than 99% of the shit out there, rock music is in a sad state of affairs.
Lastly, a word of advice to...

Thanks for the defense.

Careful. It has been my law school experience that if you pour water on econ majors or feed them after midnight, they become law students.
Whiskey, as it turns out, is a poor substitute for marijuana. But I guess it'll have to do.

I have listened to Guided By Voices for the first time in weeks tonight... and all of the sudden I'm in a good mood.
This cannot be a coincidence!
"The queen of cans and jars will keep you safe."
Also: what happens when I get stoned? Sometimes, I capitalize things that weren't capitalized before... like my profile, for example! CHECK THAT SHIT OUT!
