The Youtube videos aren't bad quality, but the bass gets wayyyyyyyyy distorted. So maybe a nice bootleg will pop out. Certainly a nice change of pace from Radiohead.

Arrested Development movie script being written. I'm gonna have to get myself a mayonegg to celebrate.

"And that is why you don't use a one-armed man to teach people lessons."

Indictment is probably the wrong word, but to the conservatives Chicago not getting it is evidence about how much Obama sucks, which is definitely what it isn't. That's really what I meant.

It's dumb. As I said at the "other place," Chicago not getting the bid is not an indictment of Obama personally, it's an indictment of America in general. The nerve of those guys...

Considering Funeral was #45 on that 50 in 2005 list P4k had, #2 is quite the improvement. I don't like Neon Bible that much at all, if it makes a difference.

Putting YHF in front of Funeral would have been terrible in my opinion. In the past half-year, I've listened to Funeral probably about 100-150 times, while I've maybe put on YHF twice. Funeral has a lot more staying power than YHF, at least for me. Funeral grips you and doesn't let go while YHF sort of lazily drifts in the background. Mind you, I would put Funeral as the best and YHF as second best, but I would put Funeral higher than YHF. I'm ok with the top 20 or so, but after that it's all hogwash anyways. The real travesties are Loretta Lynn and Brian Wilson not even cracking it, le

1. Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca 2. Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion 3. Girls - Album 4. Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest 5. Phoenix - Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix for sure. The Volcano Choir record is pretty good, but Mbira in the Morass sticks out like a sore thumb and is super weak in and of itself. If that track wasn't there it would be a lot better. But considering what the record is trying to do it's pretty impressive that they even got close to accomplishing it.

The worst year for music was obviously 1264AD. The Gregorian chants coming out of that year were just ludicrously bad.

That or this:

March 2005's cover of Guitar Player has Nels on the cover. I have a copy of it, and I have it signed by Nels. Most personally valuable thing I own.

Finally, a thread where I can crack Arrested Development jokes. Now I can share my pop secret with someone.

I'd vote for Double Nickels on the Dime. Imagine them stretching out all the jams on like "Corona." That would be epic. Also anytime they tackle something huge that leaves a lot of room for awesomeness. Some of them wouldn't work well, like Arcade Fire's Funeral. I also don't see them doing Tom Wait's Rain Dogs turning out well either. I think Thriller would be funny, and most of the Dylan works would be fine. Plastic Ono Band seems like a really interesting option, come to think of it.

If by "aged well" you mean "still awesome," then you're right.

I'm ok with that list, though AGIB that high is strange. My list is quite different, but I accept that list, for what it's worth.

Who could have thought that such a Yoko Ono-influenced work could be listenable

I have a $700 (list could be more, given I got it on eBay for that much) Korean-made custom Epiphone Casino that I love playing, so I suppose I support this statement.

Well, I'm not sure of the real details, but the basics that the "Lady Madonna" visuals of the promo is actually them recording "Hey Bulldog" are the gist of it. I sorta just made part of what I said earlier up. Mono "Don't Pass Me By" is a half-step higher. I'm guessing this had to do with some shenanigans with speeding/slowing tape playback (which was messed with based on stereo vs. mono) which results in the different pitches you hear.

...something like that.
