(not being hostile btw -- just that i know you know how to find stuff you like. you just have to want to look around for it)
like i read that flying nun book and then have gone down a rabbit hole of flying nun, which has been v enjoyable! i listen to "crush" by tall dwarfs every single time i get into the car and it's like a ritual now.

also lastfm radio stations are good for finding new things, better than pandora because there's more international music ime
― La Lechera, Friday, 6 January 2012 21:36 (twelve years ago) link
I would like to get back into the habit of exploring music that is not primarily new and buzzed-about stuff, but there is so much of that stuff that I am rarely left wanting. Sometimes I just think, like, what if I am a huge fan of (say) Rickie Lee Jones, and I just don't know it yet?
― Bon Ivoj (jaymc), Friday, 6 January 2012 21:39 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, there's a century of music that just happens not to have paid publicity at the momen, ando gets drowned out by the rest.

I think I was better about digging into old stuff during the couple of years when I was pretending to be a Music Critic.

would anyone want to do pub quiz tomorrow?
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 9 January 2012 17:39 (twelve years ago) link
Oh man that sounds like fun, but given that our little guy decided this week that any sort of consistent sleep pattern is out of the question, I'm not sure I can really ditch my wife with a screaming baby until we get things a little more back on track. This weekend was awful, I think we each got a grand total of 7 hours all weekend.

sucks. evie just got back on her normal schedule after vacation/teething threw her off. we had some bad nights last week but things seem good again now.

I might be interested in pub quiz.
― Bon Ivoj (jaymc), Monday, 9 January 2012 18:44 (twelve years ago) link
jaymc would be the best pub quiz partner of all time.
btw if i were in chicago i'd totally be down for a pub quiz, anytime.
also btw, i find out if i'm moving to chicago today. *refreshes email every 2 minutes*

no matter what happens, i foresee a lot of drinking going on tonight
Nick, Jenny, Jeff go dig around the City's offices and see what you can find out!
Good luck Z.

this week is really busy for me or else I'd be totally in for pub quiz, R and I stopped at the Globe for a beer on Saturday and I was reminiscing a bit about past quizzes
― bomb.gif (dan m), Monday, 9 January 2012 19:31 (twelve years ago) link
I do not know about Veronica Falls but I will check them out. Thanks!
Also, good luck ZS! My fingers are crossed, just for you.
No pub quiz for me. I'm sick. Blech.
Random: someone mispronounced my last name like Bear-goes today (fluent English speaker, no discernible accent). That is a new one.
― gonna give her the old fuquay-varina (Jenny), Monday, 9 January 2012 20:03 (twelve years ago) link
Jenny, you will like them. I bet Nick and Sarah would too. Anyone who likes super catchy UK pop with girl singer and post-punk moments.
― La Lechera, Monday, 9 January 2012 20:08 (twelve years ago) link
niiiiiiiiiiiick where did you put those tracks you recorded most recently with (i think?) sarah and ben that i liked a lot? are they downloadable somewhere?
― La Lechera, Monday, 9 January 2012 20:21 (twelve years ago) link
dan, strangely enough, S and I also went to the Globe for a drink on Saturday, and I was also reminiscing about pub quiz. Might also be pub for tomorrow night, though I have a 12.5 hour day on Wednesday, so perhaps I should just make it an early night.

i still need to rerecord the other song we tried to do that didn't come out due to 4-track problems.

Good news! I like CVS.
Wait. Did we already talk about the fact that there will be a gigantor Walgreens competing with it? We talked about these matters separately, but it seems like there will be a face/off at some point.
