my favorite is when they watch that Jet Jagua movie and they come up with their own subtitles for the theme song...that was awesome.

oh, and the circus short is good also.

I have a hard time reading comic books. I hate having to jump around. I don't like the fact that my attention is divided between the visual elements and the written. I prefer books with no pictures, or comics without words.

there might be a way to disable them. then you wouldn't have to look at the sweet, clever little emoticons.  8O

I think the thing that confuses most people about travis is that he is not a serious guy. I think that is where some of the problems with dismemberment plan came about, it's such a serious type of band name, but when ever travis performs he has the biggest silliest grin on his face.  And if you listen to "change", a lot of the songs are autobiographical, and I think he just continued that trend. I don't have a problem with that, I think it's great. He's not out to change the world, he is singing about what he knows.

now for the album... yeah there is some irritating crap on there. Like the 4 different parts of "get me off of this coin" where he sings about the penny, the nickel, the dime and the quarter. He sings the song from the point of view of the president that is on each coin. I think he does this only because he lives in DC and stuff like this is actually funny there.

I beg to differ on the music being crap. There is so much worse stuff out there. I don't know where your standards are, but I think what he is doing is not crap. It is on a label, people are buying it. And he is touring.

so... let me ask you this. If travis morrison is crap, what do you think is good? what do you hold in such high esteem and is so lyrically superior? what amazing, phenomenol song writer do you think blows travis morrison out of the water?

I don't get how you can say that Travis Morrison was terrible. I went to the show at the crocodile and I thought it was good.

what makes you think it was terrible?

his new band has only been together about a month, I would like to hear you and and the music project you assemble in a month sound that good.

I'll admit they are no dismemberment plan, but it's still travis's music and I'll defend it because I think he has a valid quirkiness to his music. He refuses to be genrefied, which I connect with.

The new Le Tigre album <<it's great after track 5!

Travistan (travis morrison)

well, "newbie", it is obvious.

everything is kosher otherwise.

garrrr. november is on monday. looks like we'll both be putting in a long weekend updating our sites, no?

is anyone on here NOT a newbie?

how does the ranking structure work?
how many post do I have to have to not be a newbie?

you have roughly 160 and you're still a newbie.

what gives?

There is this HUGE music store there in Tucson. it is called "chicago music", this place is amazing. The buzzard that owns the place started it in the 60's. Rumor has it, there was a fire there in the early sixties, so they shut the place down, with a lot of instruments inside. They open it back up in the 80's and voila!!! ALL THE INSTRUMENTS ARE VINTAGE!!!

It's a weird place, they have at least one of almost everything. The old man that works there overprices everything, but he loves to haggle.

They have a room upstairs that is filled with Red drums. I am not even kidding. There was this hell's Angel there that was doing some drum repair work, we made friends with him while we were looking around, we coerced him into sneaking us upstairs. It's a spectacle to behold. I never thought I would see 50's and 60's Gibsons just laying in a pile on top of each other. It will make any instrument lover cry.

el radiohead

(radiohead sung in spanish, it's great!!!)

If you don't want to vote for either "fuck hole", don't.

I am reading so democratically biased material, and it's great. I can be a democrat and liberal until I have a family that doesn't rely on any social services, then, I guess I can go republican.

I was registered green in arizona (boy was that pointless)

this week is all about golden oldies of my early to middle twenties that remind me of girls that have broken my heart. Today's selection is Unbelievable truth's album "almost here"(unbelievable truth is thom yorke's brother's band), god the tears were welling up when I put this one on this morning.

not a good way to start your morning.

I am reading LIES and the LYING LIARS that tell them, by Al Franken.

this is one of the funniest things I have ever read, there is at least one funny thing per page. and when the book is like 300 pages long, that is a damn lot of funny.

wait a second, I thought the score was kerry-2, bush-0?

that's what it SHOULD be anyway.

In phoenix after the debate, the foo fighters are playing for free in Kerry's honor. no fair. not that I am a huge foo fighters fan, but I wouldn't mind checking them out for free.
