Feel free to hit me up for mock interviews.

It's cheaper to keep her.

We'll ignore the irony of your wife getting her shyt together while you have a gf.

Nailed it

My guess is that for me it was slightly later (20 - 25?) cuz growing up in the outskirts of a hick town with no cable / one bad radio station / pre-interwebz I actually just assumed music sucked.

Nice. Suburbs is a good song to open the album with, imo.

Barely passed the Slim test in that I've heard 4 of the songs off this album (The Suburbs, Ready To Start, Modern Man and Sprawl II), but that's just cuz the mothercorp radio station up here plays them at a decent clip since they're a homeland band.

One of those bands who just haven't quite made the iPod for some reason or another, and yet I can certainly dig certain songs and a few of them probably should (especially Modern Man and The Suburbs, and their first hit Rebellion). ETA: Am I the only one who gets ****ed up attempting to air drum to Modern Man while driving? I always seem to lose the beat somehow.

is it though?

this feels kinda like the 'don't go broke in a limped pot' strat you hear at tables.

I just took a look at my 2010s playlist and it's barely 100 songs long. If you add the fact that it took me 3 years to catch up with what was a big pop hit (Genghis Khan), we ve established I am old and a step back with the current happenings of music.

Having said that, looking at my playlist here are some of my standouts songs:

- Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Sacrilege.

- Cage the Elephant - Trouble

- Decemberists- Sucker's Prayer

- Spoon - Inside Out

- Ok Go - Obsession

- Portugal.The Man - Purple Yellow Red and Blue

But if I had to evangelize for one band, that would be Spoon. I feel that they are doing honest rock and roll and they aren't as popular as they should be.

Oh and I ve been watching a lot of this lately. I always thought that Boulevard of Broken Dreams could go higher with a different instrument arrangement and I feel this is in the right direction.

If you took the O/U on 1 you aren't in good shape tho

It rhymes so it must be true

Critics **** on that record but I really like it. Sure it's different than their previous but not sure why that is disqualifying

Next up...since you asked specifically (will confess I don't listen to this as much of late)



Highlights

The obvious





Prob my favorite from this record

Yo slim - I am downstairs strummin on the geetar. Wuz taking 5 browsin the webz and clicked on LCD to give it a listen. SPC pipes up," what the hell r u doin". I say checkin out some toonz. She informs me she loves this song and rightly figgered I had never heard it...so u got the SPC seal of approval. I am aslo enjoying it. Thank you!!

Fairly certain I have heard 0 songs off that one.

Agreed, rickroll, totally interesting. I guess you're the new and improved BGP. Tell us more stories of living in China, or any other far away land.

My Chinese friends always discouraged me from learning Chinese, and now I finally know why.

As expected. Fairly certain there will be at least 1 more that you have heard a bunch from

Really? Aren’t they in fact massively popular?
I mean, I’m pretty certain they’re doing more than alright for themselves.
I enjoy a lot of their catalogue though, not saying I don’t like them.
I think they’ve got as much moniez/attention as they’d care for though.

Which songs are these? Sadly my work firewall removes the youtubz.

I listened to Suburbs and Sprawl II. Both mostly too slow for me.

Then fortunately I persisted (thanks Skwid for the review/story). I like Ready to Start.

I have buddies that have been through divorces, and they lost their asses even though the splits were amicable.

Bomb pot story: table next to me does a bomb pot. 72ss cracks AA when AA turns a set completing the wheel for 72. Money goes in, river bricks and AA spends the next 5 minutes losing his mind over it. Cursing, yelling, bearing the guy for playing 72, ultimately gets security called on him.

Eventually, guy not in the hand looks at him and says “bro, it was a bomb pot. If he turned his cards over you still would have called afterwards.”

Fun times.

lol. Proved impossible.

Welp...

The idea that Zuckerberg has essentially unlimited resources at his disposal to pour on his desire to be fluent in any language, and yet he only embarrasses himself should tell you something about Zuckerberg, not learning languages.

In a professional setting, no one wants to try to talk to a non proficient speaker when there is the option of just using a common language. The Chinese are not that unusual in this.

here.

This is a great album. I had long goodbye in mind when asking about live albums as most of this album is on there.

I'd agree with this more if he was doing this with German, Spanish or Japanese.

Mandarin is extremely difficult to learn imo especially from an English only backgorund.
