Awww, I like Conor. Although I hate admitting that because people tend to get the impression that any Bright Eyes fan is some rabid obsessive that worships at the altar of Oberst. I just happen to love the way he throws himself completely into everything, even when he ends up looking like a pretentious douchebag. He's got some great moments buried in all of his albums.

THIS SNOW IS BLOWING MY MIND

weekend on a wednesday.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 15:33 (nineteen years ago)

THAT WAS MY BRAIN EXPLODING

It's not going to start snowing here until this afternoon. By the time I am trying to drive the hour back here from Saginaw, the roads ought to be getting shitty.

― Jesse, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 15:35 (nineteen years ago)

this is a warm-fluffy-sock day.

― JuliaA, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

I just found out my sister is coming home this weekend, so now I kinda want to go to Michigan too. Damn it, why wasn't I informed of this earlier?

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

I am so not going to class today. Gross.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 15:43 (nineteen years ago)

this is a go the fuck back to bed day

― kenan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 15:43 (nineteen years ago)

Calling C.O. sullen is one of those misleading things, like calling Leonard Cohen depressed, when both of them (at their best) are really making music about transcending that stuff in a moment of ecstacy.

I mean, it's kind of a schtick - a voice and body trembling so much that it sounds like he's going to start sobbing in pain or transcendent happiness - but I think it's a heartfelt schtick.

Speaking of heartfelt schtick, there's a great photo of a Stooges concert on the front page of today's NY Times Arts section.

No one here has any sisu.

Eazy, like I said, I've only actually heard one Bright Eyes song, to my knowledge, so when I said "sullen" I was referring to the photo I posted.

It's funny seeing that photo again, now that I know Jenny and Ben and Gerard.

― Eazy, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

John, you should try the 'I'm Wide Awake, etc.' CD - you might like it.

― Eazy, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

EZ your robut-esque dance pose in that pic cracks me up.

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

Surely you knew Jenny at the time, that was less than a year ago?

― n/a, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 15:58 (nineteen years ago)

I think it's a heartfelt schtick

but don't you see that just makes it worse

― kenan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 15:59 (nineteen years ago)

Robot boxing. I knew Jenny, but now I feel like I know almost everyone on that stage better. And crazy that the 'nasta month at Schubas was a year ago!

― Eazy, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:01 (nineteen years ago)

FYI: Youngbl00d Brass Band is playing at Subterranean this Saturday.

― Jordan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:01 (nineteen years ago)

Hot 8 Brass Band is at House of Blues on Friday.

― jaymc, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:04 (nineteen years ago)

WAHT

― Jordan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:04 (nineteen years ago)

Also apparently at Schubas on Sunday.

― jaymc, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:04 (nineteen years ago)

I'm going to go on Friday.

― Jordan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:05 (nineteen years ago)

Who are they? Why are they so big?

― Eazy, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:06 (nineteen years ago)

Did you just decide this?

― jaymc, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:06 (nineteen years ago)

I think it's one of those back-porch things. I don't know anything about those.

― jaymc, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:06 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, I just decided. Not even a decision really.

They're not "big", they're just the hottest N.O. brass band, which would make them my favorite band my default.

― Jordan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

Hot 8 is at Old Town School for free today, and the Gangbe Brass band is at HotHouse.

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

What is Old Town School? I would, uh, recommend going to see the Hot 8 in your town for free.

― Jordan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:09 (nineteen years ago)

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:12 (nineteen years ago)

Hey, they're playing there at 10:30 tomorrow morn too!

― Eazy, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:13 (nineteen years ago)

Jesse is hidden behind Sarah in that pic.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:16 (nineteen years ago)

i wish i had a heat gun here so i could dry my boots.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:31 (nineteen years ago)

Is going bare-foot frowned upon in your office? I'd take 'em off and put them somewhere to air out if I were you.

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:34 (nineteen years ago)

(note: I see people barefoot here all the time, goddamn hippies.)

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:35 (nineteen years ago)

i'm at my desk, no one would notice but my pants are also SOAKED and i don't want to feel the freezing cold wet cuff of my pants against my bare ankle. in a half hour or so i'm going over to buy socks at least. i'll take off my boots then.

or rather, after i get back with the new socks.

― chicago kevin, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:36 (nineteen years ago)

New socks are one of life's great pleasures.

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:37 (nineteen years ago)

And how!

I got some nice warm socks for Xmas and they are already wearing out in the heels. I need to learn how to knit so I can knit some serious f'n socks that I don't have to replace every six months.

― Jenny, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:38 (nineteen years ago)

this was the first year i didn't get any new socks for xmas in like forever. only my sister and nephew got me anything but they got me some really awesome/useful stuff.

Where's HoB at anyway? Is it reasonably easy to get to/park near?

― Jordan, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:39 (nineteen years ago)

Favorite line of that book: "Orange must be my size!"

― Laurel, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:40 (nineteen years ago)

xpost It's at like Michigan and some little offshoot of Wacker Drive. I used to walk by every day on my way to temping. There's a parking garage on the same block but it'll probably be $$$$.

― dan m, Wednesday, 11 April 2007 16:41 (nineteen years ago)

me and that bird have the same specs!
