Or spends so much time talking, he forgets to nail the chick. Now that would just be sad.

Well said, sir.

There's so much stupid involving conspiracy theorists, and maybe this has been addressed somewhere else in the comments, but the one that always gets me is - if there's all this information the government doesn't want you to know about, all this serious life-threatening shit, why is it so readily available on fringe…

Voodoo Histories is really great, at least up until the end. The author was a staunch defender of Coalition action in Iraq - which, far as I'm concerned, really was a conspiracy to convince the public at large that we needed to go in there and get rid of presumed WMD's - and his reluctance to admit he may have been…

I'm not really sure what she's doing sitting next to Blonde On Blonde-era Dylan though.

Actually, he's not on that record. He didn't join the group til a few years later.

Fair enough. We can all thank Radiohead for providing us with the Hollies/Scott Walker collaboration we never knew we needed. . . and maybe never did need.

Oh God, yes, we sang "Kumbaya" at my UU church. Between that and "Singing For Our Lives," it's a wonder I didn't start drinking til college.

Not to mention Randy Quaid. I can understand his fear of star-whackers, when he couldn't even take Ryan O'Neal in a wrasslin' match.

"Is there any good song about a birthday?"

I've tried hating "Fake Plastic Trees." It wears me out.

Bon Iver's Justin Vernon on why he hates "This Is The Song That Never Ends."

No kidding! I would never have thought that.

Seconding the XL-II love.

Anything Mountain Goats up to and including All Hail West Texas.

Maybe. . . in fact, you're probably right. But I'd rather just pretend I'm right and continue pontificating. It's more fun that way.

Yeah basically. Both convenient at first, but ultimately disposable. . . or was I reading this the wrong way?

Oh. Sorry. I always thought, in general, digital recordings sound a lot more brittle, not as warm, regardless of how a tune is mixed, something is lost when audio waves are digitally reproduced as bit files, they may be more sonically "perfect," but just not to my preference, the highs are generally boosted and it can…
