1. what a mix, you go girl. n/t

[teach1st]

2. Me!

Anybody who includes Syd Barret, The Butthole Surfers, and Melanie on the same playlist is A-OK in my book.

[Solly Mack]

3. My husband would

and I like your taste.

[jdots]

4. ok ok i love you ,now turn off that strange noise

and " Listen to the mocking bird"..... by Olive Oil as only she could sing it.

[Robeson]

5. You never know when you'll meet that someone...

...13 years ago, when my wife and I went out on our first date - we had only met 2 nights before and we didn't know a thing about each other - we were in my car on our way to go eat. I asked her what was her favorite group? She said her favorite group was Jethro Tull, and favorite album was Jethro Tull's "Aqualung". I had been listening to a tape on the way over to pick her up for our date, and it was hanging out of tape player. I pushed it in when she said that. What was it, Jethro Tull, "Aqualung"! We've been with each other ever since!

[hfojvt]

10. sitting on a park bench, eying little girls with bad intent

That song is so totally romantic.
Don't you start away uneasy, you poor old sop, you see it's only me.

[Robeson]

11. Is it romantic your looking for from Aqualung....

...then look no further....


Wond'ring aloud
how we feel today.
Last night sipped the sunset
my hands in her hair.
We are our own saviours
as we start both our hearts beating life
into each other.

Wond'ring aloud
will the years treat us well.
As she floats in the kitchen,
I'm tasting the smell
of toast as the butter runs.
Then she comes, spilling crumbs on the bed
and I shake my head.
And it's only the giving
that makes you what you are.

[flamingyouth]

6. She'll cut your heart like diamonds, end of story

You bet you're gonna lose it to that hell-bound crimson glory...

Man, anyone who likes Beat Happening (any song!) is tops in my book! :hi:

[Ellen Forradalom]

34. You're a Pacific Northwest girl arencha?

so you'd know about them. I forget, are they Portland or Olympia?

[flamingyouth]

44. Yeah, they were from Olympia

Calvin runs K Records down there. :hi:

[RandomKoolzip]

7. You're so sweet....

In a different world, you and I would be discussing Chris Knox......nekkid.

[Ellen Forradalom]

12. According to string theory, we live in a multidimensional universe

So we probably are, right now.

[RandomKoolzip]

14. Can Robert Pollard be president in this new, better, world?

Hey Ellen! Nice choice of S-K tune, BTW. That's my favorite of theirs after "You're no Rock n' Roll Fun."

[Ellen Forradalom]

30. Sure! He needs a new job now that GBV is callin' it quits

And I like to sing that S-K tune as "You're No Open-Source Fun":

You're no open source fun
Like a process that exits
Before it's begun.....

You're no open source fun
Like kernel source that no one can touch!
Your head's always up in the clouds
Writing your code
Won't you ever come down?.....

And when the evening ends
We won't be thinking of you then
Even though your code is running in production!

[hfojvt]

8. not I, said the revolutionary

But szeretlek, if you speak Hungarian.
Is a counter-revolution in Hungary against communism and therefore democratic?
I always thought those people should have looked to Beatrice Webb and her husband Sidney when they threw out the Stalinists instead of looking to Selma Hayek and her brother Friedrich.
And it would help if you looked like Thomas Mann.

[RandomKoolzip]

9. Cowboy Joe2k, is that you?!?

Sounds like someone ate my sugarcubes.

[Ellen Forradalom]

13. And only Bjork survived.

:-)

[hfojvt]

17. Mommy I think they are making fun of me

According to a history of SCTV, these guys were performing and one came back stage and complained: "this audience sucks. There are so many recognition laughs. Mention Thomas Mann and you get a laugh." (Meaning the people laugh to show the rest of the audience how educated they are - they know who Thomas Mann is.) So in the next skit, the one guy is holding this suit in front of him and he says "how do I look?" The other one ad libs "you look just like Thomas Mann" and the audience explodes with laughter.
Anyway, the 150 or so people in the world who had heard that story and remembered it, might have thought my reference was funny. But nooo, everyone has to mock what they do not understand. Maybe that is the opposite of a recognition laugh. The I-don't-get-it sneer.

[Ellen Forradalom]

38. Since you told me 'szeretlek', I'll feed ya

What kind of cereal do you like?

PS Anyone ever tell you you look like Thomas Mann?

[hfojvt]

40. no, usually Ivan Lendl or Tom Petty

but you are sweet, and I love most cereal. So I could love you in spite of your playlist. Who knows, since I never heard of most of it, I might actually like some of it.
szertlek again, but in an agape sense, not eros. Peace to all.

[Ellen Forradalom]

16. Aha! Meg egy magyar beszélö ember!

You can be the fourth Notorious Hungarian Threadjacker, along with me, Mikimouse and Crankie Avalon.

[hfojvt]

18. No, just a follow of Louis L'Amour

In "The Walking Drum", Kerbouchard ponders that a man really only needs to be able to say two things in any language. He needs to be able to ask for food, and he needs to be able to tell a woman that he loves her. If he can only say one thing, it is better to be able to say "I love you" because if he tells a woman that he loves her she will probably feed him.
I may have some distant relatives from the Donau who settled in Banat, but I do not know if any descendants survived.

[Ellen Forradalom]

15. I'm dreadfully deficient in the hip-hop dept

being an aging indie chik. My knowledge is about as current as De La Soul and Public Enemy. Isn't that awful? Someone care to fill me in on the best & brightest?

[RandomKoolzip]

20. Go directly to El-P's "Stepfather Factory."

Not the biggest hip hop fan, but there's some good stuff going on in the underground.

The Coup is also brilliant.

These are due further research:

Vadim
Anticon
The Eternals
Cody ChestnuTT
Mr. Lif
Vast Aire
cloudDEad

[RandomKoolzip]

32. You've got some intriguing stuff there fella

Brigitte Fontaine? wow.
I need to come over to your house with my iBook and extra-capacity HD and sit in a corner and rip cds. I won't disturb anyone, honest.

[binaryline]

21. Oh, I totally would!

Let's* get hitched**, shall we***? ;-)

*Must be a lesbian
**Note: binaryline is already semi-hitched. Just sayin'.
***Extra Note: binaryline also would've proposed to RKZ, except for the fact that he's straight and male and married. Just sayin' (again).

(Still, the things I'd do for a good playlist! ;-) )

[RandomKoolzip]

23. WHERE THE HECK HAVE *YOU* BEEN?!?!

Hey there, binaryline! Haven't seen you around in......months? Last time we conversated, I was still in Nashville.

How 'bout that election, huh?

So gald to hear from you again!

[RandomKoolzip]

24. Since there are two cool women who woulda married me in a parallel

univers, I shall now post a picture of me punching out my best man on my wedding day:



'cuz THAT's how I feel right now!

[Ellen Forradalom]

33. Oh, just tell your wife you've been wanting a harem

See how that goes over.

[RandomKoolzip]

35. Oh yeh. I love sleeping on the couch.

That'll go over about as well as that "maybe you should work and I'll stay home and work on my music" thing I tried a couple years ago.

[Ellen Forradalom]

36. You forming a band?

I'll be the ukulele player. (That way you could work on your music with your harem.)

[RandomKoolzip]

37. Oh, I already gots a band.

We sound like the Jam. (Ask whoisalhedges, who has called my band "a shitty Jam clone" on more than one occaion).

But if you can lay down the horn lines from "Absolute Beginners" on the ukelele, I'll file for divorce toot sweet....

(Do you really play uke? That's cool!)

[Ellen Forradalom]

39. Yes I play uke, but not well, mind you

I do like to sit on the back porch by a warm summer night and play "Terrapin" by Syd Barrett or "True Love is Not Nice" by Jonathan Richman. The choppy strumming and warbly singing doesn't seem to bother the neighbors.

[Ellen Forradalom]

41. Re: a harem, don't you think it's time you told your wife

that you're a fundamentalist Mormon? If it's any comfort, she gets to be the legal wife. :-)

[RandomKoolzip]

45. My harem might scare him. Uh, I mean "Her."

My only requirements for inclusion in the harem are that you can play an instrument. And since you got the uke, that's covered. My wife can play the flute, calliope, bagpipes, spoons, and washboard, so she's the queen, for sure (I love her like a milkshake!)

[Ellen Forradalom]

47. Oh yeah, she's the queen bee, all right!

I bow down to her!

[binaryline]

26. Mr. RKZ!

"Converate for a few/ 'cause in a few/ we gon' do/ what we came to do/ ain't that right, boo?"

/end Biggie mode ;-)

Just to get all OT: been busy w/ new location, job and degree. And guess whose final show I had to turn down tickets for b/c of a conference for work (hint: band name rhymes w/ "mided my moices")?

I'll shoot ya a PM, brothaman!

[RandomKoolzip]

27. Nice.

I'm going to stand outside The Metro in Chicago on New Years Eve and make an ass of myself until somebody sells me a ticket to the last GbV show....soemone at work promised me they'd hook me up w/ a scalper, but it fell through, so.....bam!

[binaryline]

28. Are you serious?

There's an outside chance that I might be able to get you a (single) ticket depending on whether or not my ticket has been offered up by my friends to the scalper gods. *Major outside chance*. Check yr PMs, and I'll let you know w/in 24 hrs. ;-)

[RandomKoolzip]

29. You are the greatest human extant.

YAY!

[SKKY]

22. I don't think we'd fall in love...

...but we'd probably hang out a lot- and then I'd hook you up with a friend of mine and we wouldn't hang out so much after that because, well, it would seem awkward.

[asthmaticeog]

25. Fuckin' hell!

Your record collection could be mine.

So I could never fall in love with you. If we moved in together and our albums got mixed up, it could be disastrous.

[Ellen Forradalom]

31. Nah, most of mine is on my extra-capacity HD

I hate big piles o' cee-dees.

[warrens]

42. Dang, burn that for me!

That's one mean songlist. And there I was, with the new Fall CD on repeat...

[Ellen Forradalom]

48. For you, warrens, anything.

I'll hop right to it!

[Zensea]

43. Billy Childish and Robert Fripp on the same playlist?

excellent

[TXlib]

46. "I don't want a pickle"

I just wanna ride on my motorsickle.

And I don't wanna die
I just wanna ride on my motor sigh..............cle.
