John, I dl'ed your mixes (at least the SL and SY, I'll the other one tonight). I haven't had time to listen to anything yet but thanks again.

― Jordan, Monday, 16 April 2007 13:59 (nineteen years ago)

This is for Jesse because of the tamales:

Of course Sarah would say that. Nobody wants to spend her life with a dude with a freaky thumb.

― Jenny, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:17 (nineteen years ago)

ERIC: This makes me think of you.

― Jenny, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:17 (nineteen years ago)

Ha ha. Nick said you guys thought it was weird he could bend his thumb back so far, but so can I... So maybe we both just have very flexible thumbs? Us freaky thumbers have to stick together in this cruel world.

I walked in to work today. So! pretty! out! I listened to my ipod, which I stuffed full of new-to-me tunes, like Kenan's mix, the powerpop comp, and the ratatat mixes, and junior boys remixes.

DRAMA:

1. MY COFFEE POT IS BROKEN. I cleaned it yesterday by running vinegar through it a few times and halfway through the second rinse cycle it went BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (my coffee pot beeps when it's done) and now it won't turn back on. I'm hoping the electronics just got wet or something and it will work when it dries out because otherwise it's one of those things where the mechanics work perfectly but the failure of the over-designed electronic geegaws render the whole thing worthless. I hate that so much!

2. Do you remember that terrible prof I had my first year who took points off if we used the word "not" in our papers and with whom I had many a pitched battle including one over using my laptop in class and one about how she required women to wear SKIRTS during our mock oral arguments or lose points on our grade? Well, she's up for tenure today and an intrepid 2L has drafted and circulated a petition opposing her appointment with the support of two other professors (one of whom is my favorite prof ever in the whole world ever). So that's like sweet vengeance and all, even though I'm kind of over all my issues with her now, besides just thinking she's an insane person.

― Jenny, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:22 (nineteen years ago)

I have new to me tunes on my mp3 player, too, and I am contemplating walking maybe halfway to Worker Justice, Inc. (walking from here to Bryn Mawr would be nice but it would take too long, I think).

Have you people ever heard of a band called Midlake? I listened to them for the first time last night and I liked them a lot. But then I looked at their website and they seem like pretentious wankers with a really irritating following. But I'm just going to forget I ever saw that and go back to liking the band.

― Jenny, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:25 (nineteen years ago)

This is for Jesse because of the tamales:

What is this supposed to be? What tamales?

LOL @ WTF: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lmyyMpIBBQ&mode=related&search=

― Jenny, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:32 (nineteen years ago)

Thx Jenny. Jesse was talking about coming home with cans of Hormel tamales yesterday.

― Jordan, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:32 (nineteen years ago)

1. That video is awesome. Actually the video is OK, but I like the song a lot. It sounds just like Alanis Morrisette.

2. Kill the bitch (apply to whatever you think is applicable).

3. What does the Blue Line pooper poop on?

4. I support selectively being in denial. I suspect that's what makes a lot of great relationships work (be they relationships between 2 people or between an admiring fan and a pretentious band).

5. The case that "be they" is is my favorite case.

― Jesse, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

What was the picture?

― Jesse, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

OH I GOTCHA.

HA HA.

― Jesse, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:36 (nineteen years ago)

You know me, and you know I'm all for irreverence, but that 9/11 video is kind of not cool....

― Jesse, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:37 (nineteen years ago)

Saturday Apr 21st

4. I support selectively being in denial. I suspect that's what makes a lot of great relationships work (be they relationships between 2 people or between an admiring fan and a pretentious band).

Case in point:

By the way, Sarah doesn't think my thumb is weird.

― Jesse, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:41 (nineteen years ago)

Is Eric in the hizzy?

― Jesse, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:43 (nineteen years ago)

Trying to be, but the xposts keep coming up.

Wow, that's great (not the 9/11 one). At the end of it, a link led me to Alanis doing this little comic skit. She's a funny gal.

― Eazy, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:44 (nineteen years ago)

Oh wow. There she is!

― Jesse, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:45 (nineteen years ago)

OK, the video to the Humps song is dumb, but the song is GREAT!

― Jesse, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:46 (nineteen years ago)

OK the video is OK, AND the song is GREAT!

― Jesse, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:50 (nineteen years ago)

DOOD MY SWEATER IS ON BACKWARDS AND INSIDE OUT.

― Jesse, Monday, 16 April 2007 14:58 (nineteen years ago)

Hooowowowowowowowwwwowwwwwww appropriate.

But then I looked at their website and they seem like pretentious wankers with a really irritating following. But I'm just going to forget I ever saw that and go back to liking the band.

I *love* the song "Roscoe" by Midlake. It reminds me of Fleetwood Mac's "You Make Loving Fun." The rest of the album isn't as good, but if you like what you hear, it's probably worth hearing, and I can upload it if you like, JB. I know nothing about the band's personality or reputation.

― jaymc, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:06 (nineteen years ago)

We've got that one. Roscoe is the song that caught my attention, although other than a little guitar part similarity, maybe a little in the vocal quality, I don't hear the Fleetwood Mac comparison as much. I guess it sounds too moody to me.

Dammit, I just had the band that the song reminds me of and then I lost it.

― Jenny, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

They've gotten compared to Steely Dan, too, but I hear Fleetwood Mac way more. Like Stevie Nicks-era. "Rhiannon," "Dreams," etc.

― jaymc, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

Neil Young. I think I hear Neil Young, at least in the mournful quality of the music.

Yeeeaaaahhhh... I can hear Rhiannon/Dreams Stevie Nicks-twirling in a black cape Fleetwood Mac, definitely.

― Jenny, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

Jenny's prof sounds AWFUL.

This just in: RUSTED ROOT FUCKING SUCKS

― dan m, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

(apologies if you are a fan, but someone here is playing them on a little radio and it's like nails on chalkboard to me)

― dan m, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:49 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, welcome to the mid-to-late '90s.

― Laurel, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:49 (nineteen years ago)

I met Rusted Root at an outdoor hippy festival thing in... Pennsylvania? Maybe? Probably. I was trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiippin my face off and probably just stared at them and then chased after something shiny.

― Jenny, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

I had a lot of friends in high school/college that were brought under their hippie tribal troubador spell. I didn't get it then and I don't get it now. Headphones = ON

― dan m, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

new office mate? jesus freak.

― chicago kevin, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

tom skilling says the forecast calls for schism.

― chicago kevin, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:52 (nineteen years ago)

Note: I am not a fan, although I do get a kick out of singing their one popular song because I like to imitate his loony warble.

xpost - OH NO KEVIN. Might a suggest an upside down cross forehead tattoo?

― Jenny, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:52 (nineteen years ago)

HEYAYYYYYYYYYYYYYOOHHHHHEEEYYYYYYOOOOOOOO

― dan m, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:53 (nineteen years ago)

Also I thought one of the songs off the first CrapYourPantsSayJeah album really sounded like Rusted Root and hated it instantly.

― dan m, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:53 (nineteen years ago)

you know I'm all for irreverence, but that 9/11 video is kind of not cool....

Thing is, I'm not even sure it's supposed to be irreverent! Like, there's an outside chance that someone thought it was a very touching song, and decided to up the ante with 9/11 footage.

― kenan, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:55 (nineteen years ago)

No way!

― KitCat, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

The 10-day forecast has a couple of light showers in it, but apart from that, a heapin' helpin' or awesome. See, now THIS is spring!

― kenan, Monday, 16 April 2007 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

It was beautiful yesterday.

omg

― Jordan, Monday, 16 April 2007 16:00 (nineteen years ago)

that is such a pre-9/11 gif

― kenan, Monday, 16 April 2007 16:01 (nineteen years ago)

Kenan, you're really underestimating people's capacity for rongness today.

― Jordan, Monday, 16 April 2007 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

BUT EVERYTHING CHANGED AND THAT GIF IS NO LONGER VALID. EVERYTHING CHANGED!

there's an outside chance that someone thought it was a very touching song

for instance, someone with a poor grasp of english
