Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 There is a certain smarmy smugness that some of you guys exude. We pound new posters mercilessly around here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SeattleC Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 There is a certain smarmy smugness that some of you guys exude. We pound new posters mercilessly around here. smarm·y (smärm) KEY ADJECTIVE:smarm·i·er, smarm·i·est Hypocritically, complacently, or effusively earnest; unctuous. See Synonyms at unctuous.SleekSmug (smg) adj. smug·ger, smug·gest Exhibiting or feeling great or offensive satisfaction with oneself or with one's situation; self-righteously complacent: "the smug look of a toad breakfasting on fat marsh flies" (William Pearson). I don't think I've ever seen the combination of smarmy and smugness in a sentence before so I was curious about redundancy, but I love the example smug sentence by William Pearson. It was worth the quick search. This board is not easy to be casual on, but welcome rpmurphy, although I have way too few posts to be on the official welcoming committee. I'd suggest checking out Calexico, the Minus 5 (previously suggested), Iron and Wine, and Robyn Hitchcock if you like Wilco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Dude, who is the quote in your signature about Blonde on Blonde from? It's a hilarious account of some dude's acid trip listening to Blonde on Blonde I came across on the internet somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Doug C Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I wasn't being smarmy or smug. I just wanted to share that video. No one would think that it has any relationship to Wilco unless you focus on the bad dreads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
myboyblue Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Dolorean - You Can't Win - great laidback affair that runs in similar stylistic circles to Being There. thanks for the recommendation. Really liking this one. Can't recall ever hearing of these guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 thanks for the recommendation. Really liking this one. Can't recall ever hearing of these guys. Yeah, they're a bit under the radar. I listened to it today and forgot how sad it was (in a good way, kind of like Sea Change or Blood on the Tracks.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hazel Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Dolorean - You Can't Win - great laidback affair that runs in similar stylistic circles to Being There. i also checked this out and am really really liking it also..thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 After checking out Dolorean based on Beltmann's recommendation (brilliant), I feel like a smarmy ass for my post. So here's a serious recommendation in case the person who started this thread hasn't heard of Old 97s. Buy Too Far to Care, Fight Songs, and Satellite Rides right now. The Live one is a good one too.

SeattleC Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Vampire Weekend This seems to be rather popular lately, but I'm not sure I've heard any. What's it like? May have to track down some and check it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Like Paul Simon's Graceland performed by east coast preppies, but I like it. I'm pretty sure Jules does not, though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I always think of the National. A guy I never met in my life heard me cranking a Wilco album in a parking lot and ran up to me and gave me a CD by the national. He said if you like Wilco you will like the National. Of course I do like the National. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes to Dolorean and the Old 97's. I've heard the Old 97's quite a bit on Pandora, and really like them, but the recommendation for Dolorean was a pretty good one and a welcome discovery.

choo-choo-charlie Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 The Gimmecaps. A bunch of John Stirratt tunes recorded after the Hilltops broke up. Recorded in 1991, released in 1997. Another version of "It's Just That Simple" included. http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:h9fexqejldje Quote Link to post Share on other sites
