And listened to it on my Walkman over and over. In between the beatings by my peers.

I have high cholesterol.

My mouth is shaped like a rabbit.

I'm reading a book about word salads.

I'm going to work.

It was the first LZ song I heard and I remember lying in bed and thinking, "huh, I guess he IS an awesome drummer!" Then my drum teacher got me waaaaay into them and it's probably my least-listened to Zep song since then.

xxxxxxp I should also say that for our midnight set there were maybe 10 people in the room. MAYBE. We didn't promote the show because it was being put on by this organization that promised us they had a built-in crowd (and we're playing the Abbey Pub in a few weeks anyway), but obv. they didn't have enough of one. I actually don't care about that too much. The venue is less than a mile from from my apartment, and I drank for free all night. Still tired, though.

Also: EL found out last night that someone who was in the band she was in in high school (who was, in fact, older) is now in the Decemberists. A guy whose name I recognize, even. (Not C.M.) But even though she likes the band, she doesn't read about music, so she never wondered, "Hey, I wonder if C.F. is the same C.F. I was in that band with?" Instead, she had to find out from her parents, who called her after reading an article in the local newspaper and said "Did you know C.F. is in this band you might know about?"

xpost Yeah same here, I always skip it. It's just a bit... much.

Is anyone else listening to Panda Bear as compulsively as I am?

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:00 (nineteen years ago)

Nope.

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:01 (nineteen years ago)

No, listened to the EP, didn't think much of it. I'll stick to the Animal Collective full-lengths, thanks.

― jaymc, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:02 (nineteen years ago)

I am listening to John's Stereolab mix, though. It's great.

Unsurprisingly, I like the songs with, like, breakbeats and fusion vamps and funk beats in 7 more than the rockish ones.

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:02 (nineteen years ago)

xp I mean, not that it's *bad*, it just feels like filler.

― jaymc, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:03 (nineteen years ago)

The Panda Bear album is awesome.

Not so awesome: the building next to ours is evacuating because a health care co. received a bomb threat. This company also has an office in our building, down the hall from my office.

― n/a, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:03 (nineteen years ago)

Haha, Jordan, I figured that that would be true. Most of that mix is what I would make for anyone, but knowing that I was making it for you, I made sure to include stuff like "Parsec" (the drum'n'bass song in 5/4).

― jaymc, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:05 (nineteen years ago)

Ha, indeed.

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:08 (nineteen years ago)

I want my cell phone ring to be Omar from the Wire saying "indeed".

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:08 (nineteen years ago)

John, is there one album that has more of that type of thing? Or is it all spread out?

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

Person Pitch > Feels

I just want a wav of it that i can embed in threads.

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

huh... I'd put it up there with it, for sure, but I love Feels too much to proclaim anything better than.

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

I finished season 3 last night btw. I knew the big montage was coming but it was still effective.

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

I don't like Feels.

― n/a, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

I'd say your best bets are Emperor Tomato Ketchup and Dots and Loops. The former is funkier and the one that seems to be the critics' favorite, while the latter is more electronic and is my personal favorite. Later albums do stuff like that, too, just not as inspired (you'll notice I have nothing from 2001-06 on the mix). Although the First of the Microbe Hunters EP (from 2000) gets pretty funky, too: the first track is basically an 8-minute vamp.

― jaymc, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:16 (nineteen years ago)

I don't like Feels.

I prefer Sung Tongs, it's true, but I kinda love anything AC puts out. I am... how do you say?... a fan.

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:17 (nineteen years ago)

I keep clicking on the L O S T thread out of habit, forgetting that I haven't watched last night's episode yet.

― jaymc, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:19 (nineteen years ago)

It was a little weak.

― n/a, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:21 (nineteen years ago)

Yep.

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

but... "Have You Seen The Words" has kicked off two of my mixes already!

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

oh, i thought we were still talking feels

― kenan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:23 (nineteen years ago)

both

― n/a, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:25 (nineteen years ago)

So. Bored.

Come on, guys. BRUNCH!

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:33 (nineteen years ago)

I want brunch right now. I brought leftover pho fo' lunch but now I am craving something more substantial, like HASH BROWNS.

i've got that pedal!

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:44 (nineteen years ago)

We have the Danelectro distortion, tremolo and EQ pedals. I am sad because I actually want to use the EQ pedal but it's messed up and makes weird noises instead of working.

― n/a, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

My homie up in Milwaukee made some perfect mf'n hash browns on Sunday, along with scrambled eggs w/ lobster! Man, the life of a cook is pretty sweet sometimes, especially when your chef GIVES you lobster!

― dan m, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

Mmmmmmmm.

(where does he work, Dan?)

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

i've got the distortion, vibrato, and flanger.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

Cool!!

you can get a really cool, shimmery sound from the vibrato by turning the speed way down and putting the intensity at about the 10 o'clock position.

― chicago kevin, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:49 (nineteen years ago)

I think I played a wedding there once. :>

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:49 (nineteen years ago)

before i fixed the ground problem on my jaguar if i had the vibrato plugged in it sounded my amp was breathing. it wouldn't happen if i linked the distortion or flange though.

Spider solitaire doesn't give me the same thrill it used to. :-(

I haven't played my guitar in such a long time. When we take breaks at practice, I jump on the drums.

― KitCat, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:53 (nineteen years ago)

It smells in my office and I'm pretty sure it's not me. There is a cover for a sewage pipe in the middle of the floor.....

― Jordan, Thursday, 19 April 2007 15:59 (nineteen years ago)

i went and saw two friends band play at the bottle last night, my friend jon was playing a danelectro bass and it made me think of sarah. their songs were good but they couldn't play them. it was their 3rd show ever, their first in over a month and they had practiced exactly once since their last show. too bad, if they could just get through them they'd be a lotta fun.
