Wasn't Freebird the first song to ever feature 150 guitars?

An obscure music blog, underneathica, had posted about deerHUNTER. Since I only will buy Blog sponsored music I went to intunes and downloaded many a deerHOOF song. I have no idea if deerhunter is any good, but I now love deerhoof.

Yeah, John Sebastian wasn't so bad at all. I used to wonder if the Welcome Back Kotter theme might have become a radio hit without the show starting it off... it wasn't really a bad song at all and far less cheesy than a lot of the other stuff that was about, like Kenny Loggins, or Harry Chapin or UGH Seals & Croft UGH UGH. I ended up with a J.S. solo album in a batch buy I did at a stoop sale. It's pretty good I think.

I think that if I can't convince you to put it back in, the audience should guess (for a fabulous prize) what song you pulled "Michigan" with "fish, again" out of...
agreement on JS, he has personal charm that really comes through in his songs.

Oh no -- we won't hurt you -- anyone who makes a pun that bad has clearly had too much hurt in their life already. That being said, I think I'll have to pick up "Room to Expand"; and probably the book on meditation (I have the LeShan book, but I'm not sure it's working for me) while I'm at it.

You can't really learn meditation from a book. Books are there, I believe, to remind you of things you've already learned, to inspire, to keep up your practice. But there is no substitute for having someone show you.

The key to rhyming "Michigan" with "fish again" is that for it to work, "again" needs to be essential to the meaning. If it's just tossed in there for the rhyme, and there's no need for "again," that would have been lazy. But if it adds something, it's probably okay. Especially if the phrase doens't end with "again" but continues into the next line, I think.
Chris: Jon from Underneathica will be along shortly to give you what-for on that "obscure" thing. Anyway, Deerhunter's getting some pretty good press - Jon scooped 'em.
Finally: it's all the Wolf bands ceding way to the Deer bands, apparently. I predict the next spate of animal-based band names will be named after baby polar bears!

Ah, this conversation makes me all wistful for those halcyon "Crow" days of the '90s...

The 90s was also big on one-syllable band names (and album titles), and I'm glad we're past that, although I'm not sure I'm crazy about all those really long emo band names and album titles that don't mean nuffink.

All the great band names back in the day were "The something."

I almost rhymed "Michigan" with "fish, again" in a song...
It looks like Irving Berlin beat you to it.

Paula - 2007-02-17 10:27:17
Oh my god! What rhymes with "scooped by Irving again"?
-------------------------------
2fs - 2007-02-17 23:58:14
Oh no, scooped by Irving again
It's a get-on-my-nerves thing again...
