my car is 10 years old and still looks pretty snazzy, but i guess that's what sitting in a garage while i live in london for 6 of those years will do for it.

i'm watching dawsons, and it's the episode where pacey is horrible at the prom which i remember being really sad and am wondering if i can even watch it.
do not hot salt your car it will cause damages
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:14 (sixteen years ago) link
so can anybody come out tonight or was that too short notice? jenny, i know you wanted to hang out again with the good doctor!

What did Pacey do? I only really watched the first two seasons of that show religiously.

i have to work til 7 and then try to push a full dumpster back to its rightful spot (by the fence, not in the backyard) because some boneheaded neighbor of mine decided to move it so s/he could have more room for the SUV.
note: living in a condo with awful neighbors is like having horrible, negligent roommates who never ever move out. i can't say any more because of PENDING LITIGATION.

i keep forgetting to eat a proper meal today.
― JuliaA, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:20 (sixteen years ago) link
If I were A, I would use my POS car to push the dumpster so it parks in the SUV. Then I would go have a beer. QED
― dan m, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:21 (sixteen years ago) link
but then i would have to drive into the backyard what i really want to do is make the people who moved it in the first place push it back, but they seem to think they didn't do anything wrong.

Stingy, it's a bit late, notice-wise, although it's true that I want to hang with the good doc again.
― Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:27 (sixteen years ago) link
if i remember correctly, he basically picks a fight with joey and maybe even dumps her because he's flunking out and insecure. he may even try to hook up with another girl. all this while they are trapped on a boat.
this is why social events on moving boats are BAD.
― colette, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:27 (sixteen years ago) link
i would block in the suv then fill said dumpster with several 80lb bags of sackcrete then take a garden hose to it. trying to get that thing to move after the concrete sets would be a sisyphusian endeavor.
― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:29 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, dumping the garbage in the spot would be a GREAT idea. Honestly, what I see happening is me going door-to-door asking for help push/pulling a giant, heavy dumpster back to its rightful home. And maybe taking pictures so people NEVER FORGET 9/25/07.
xp - He's insecure because his dog is an attempted rapist.

Thanks for the National link, dan. I have trouble following discussions about recording gear but the drum sound on that record is great, and those dudes have some sweet sweet guitars.

I love the drumming on that record. Dude plays uncomplicated but really interesting parts.
― n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:45 (sixteen years ago) link
big storming!
that episode was pretty sad but not as bad as i remembered. still, i'm not going to go on parties on boats just in case, you know?
― colette, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:46 (sixteen years ago) link
This video is funny because I think you see the drummer more than you see the singer.
― n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh you better believe I was mentally recording how he played some of those parts while watching them the other night. He's got a pretty minimal kit (only one cymbal + hats) but gets a hell of a lot out of it.
― dan m, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:47 (sixteen years ago) link
er, plus bass, 2 toms & snare
Their singer is very uncharismatic.
― n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:48 (sixteen years ago) link
but in general, I think a lot of the dark meaty sound came from the 1953 Neumann U-47 in front of the kit.
This is the boring answer to why good-sounding records recorded in awesome studios sound good
― Jordan, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:49 (sixteen years ago) link
Does anyone have a 1953 Neumann U-47 we can borrow?
― KitCat, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:50 (sixteen years ago) link
would i like that band better if i played an instrument?
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:50 (sixteen years ago) link
You have to have some tolerance for sad bastard indie rock, I think.
― n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:51 (sixteen years ago) link
When I saw them (The National) touring on the last album, the singer was very, very charismatic. Also very, very drunk. But the kind of drunk that seemed to make him all the more intense and focused instead of aloof and/or petulant.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:51 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't have said tolerance, but that is a cool drum part and a good sound.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:51 (sixteen years ago) link
No.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:52 (sixteen years ago) link
Hm. Ok. I tried to like them because you guys are always raving and I found myself feeling very little enthusiasm.
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:52 (sixteen years ago) link
and I'm not really sure why I love that album so much, since I don't really like sad bastard indie rock that much. I think part of it is that his lyrics are kind of general and enigmatic, not embarassingly personal and sappy like a lot of sad bastard indie rock.
― n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:53 (sixteen years ago) link
I still don't get very excited for the new album, but I like them plenty.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:53 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm not a huge fan, either, Amanda.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:53 (sixteen years ago) link
I didn't feel antipathy, but I did not want to listen to the album anymore. (I think the one D dl'ed is the most recent)
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link
I like them. They sound a bit like old U2 to me.
― KitCat, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link
I can understand people not liking it, there's nothing really that jumps out about it and lots of people hate on dude's lyrics (though I think they're great), but I don't know, something about it just gets me.
― n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link
See, I love old U2.
