except that one

To give you an honest opinion and not a sardonic rebuttal on this post: I think that maybe people who are addicted to being into things that no one else really knows about feel like they have some authority over the majority because they know something you don't. If you notice, they'll try to push their favorite bands on you, but then feel cheated if that band shows up on a popular movie/TV commercial/popular TV show. The reason for this, I believe, is: 1. they feel that they have to fight to prove their genuineness as a fan. Like when people say "I've been a fan of this band since blah

**tosses "THE END IS NEAR" sign into a garbage can and writes poetry about rainbows**

Actually, I think I want a pair of Dinosaur Jr. shoes... that would be awesome. Better than a band t-shirt even!

Bumping this hasn't gotten a chat atrted yet, but here I go again. Anyone up for a late chat?

...Go Yankees? (dontkillmepleaseitwasjustajoke)

uh.. yuh!

Oh my God, that made me choke on my sandwich.

my favorite part

Thanks for that... I enjoyed it.

The windmills don't bother me as much as his goofy lookin' haircut

me too... and who was saying something about the loud guitar parts? !!!!! That's Nels... you don't edit Nels out... you just don't

What? they put their name on shoes?! SELLOUTS! I love the album, but I think I'm going to have to go put it in the microwave now

I'd buy that stuff But I couldn't afford it... I'd have to write a song and let a car company use it in a commercial first.

I know what you mean. Fountains of Wayne is one of my favorite bands, and Stacey's Mom is a really cute, funny novelty song. I thought it was great when they put it into a commercial, but it's the kind of thing where the novelty wears out quickly and I heard that song EVERYWHERE! Not only did it ruin the song for me, but it also ran off potential new fans.

Oh my god, that made me giggle a lot.

Don't forget selling a double album (Being There) for the price of a single disc at their own expense AND getting dropped from their label for refusing to change thier art (Yankee Hotel Foxtrot) just to suit Reprise records' ideas of what would sell. This doesn't sound like a band who would sell out.

Him too?

True

God, I love your sense of humor

I don't think I've ever read any pretentiousness into what he's said, but he does seem kind of unsure of himself sometimes. But hey, I do too... I'm unsure of myself 85% of the time really and I despise pretentiousness. I can imagine constantly being asked questions by people who don't know (and therefore probably don't understand) you can be kind of exhausting and depleting.

I'm sure I don't, actually. AN album is a product... they make their music and then they sell it and you and everyone else pays for it. so... explain maybe? Do you think Tweedy says "Hey, Michael Stipe wouldn't do this, so I'm not gunna?" err.. probably not. Two different people with two different views. It doesn't suck to hear Iggy... ever... Well that's really really too bad Do you still like ther music?

Gun... yes

I think you nailed it there
