Hey Flex; Party Time!

[Silent Majority]

Yeah, but when I drunk dial dudes it's fine because it's usually something like "oh man we should hang out this weekend/see this movie," but with chicks there's always the doomsday scenario of "Will you come over and suck me off whilst I'm passed out?" followed by them beating me up the next time I see them.

Yeah, but when I drunk dial chicks it's fine because it's usually something like "oh honey we should hang out this weekend/see this broadway show," but with dudes there's always the doomsday scenario of "Can I come over and suck you off whilst you're passed out?" followed by them beating me up the next time I see them.

[Wolter]

Yeah, but when I drunk dial dudes it's fine because it's usually something like "oh man we should hang out this weekend/see this movie," but with chicks there's always the doomsday scenario of "you know my life is a little more empty each day we aren't together" followed by them changing their number.

I'm speaking from ancient experience, by the way, since I haven't known a non-insane girl I could actually date since, damn, over a year ago now.

I meant I just stopped giving a damn about the outcome of drunk dialing women.

The new Tegan and Sara album: not as good as I remember from last night. But pretty decent. If you like that sort of thing, it's the sort of thing you like.

Last night: surprisingly uneventful. Except for an initial shot of tequila, I stuck with cheap wine (two bottles of cheap wine, but still...) Nothing interesting happened except I got to lay down some serious knowledge on eumaas for which I'm sure he's eternally grateful.

Nothing has made a big immediate impact the way The Con, Back in Your Head, and Hop a Plane did on the last album. I am going to give it more spins as it supposedly requires repeated listenings compared to the older albums.

Yo Dawg,

Listening to the new T&S more, I think the album gets stronger with repeated listens but I also think that the second half of this is markedly stronger than the first half.

Listening to the new Weezer too. I like it. I think it's an upgrade from Red Album, very rockin'

Yeah, I'm definitely going to give it many more spins before developing a definitive opinion.

As for the new Weezer album, I can get through the album quite easily as opposed to Red which had about four songs that I would never ever listen to and five if you include Everybody Get Dangerous which I hardly ever listened to. I was a bit disappointed that two songs from his last demo album were used and that they were pretty much the same (different arrangement but same melodies). I will have to pick up the deluxe version to dig on the bonus tracks. So far my favorite tracks are the ones with the AAR guys (Put Me Back Together) which is typical of their power ballad sound but works pretty well for Rivers, Love is the Answer which has all the Indian touches which would bother me as novelty if not for the fact that the song is pretty well written, and Let It All Hang Out which is majorly infectious. All the songs are either generic or retarded lyrically, so I have just been shutting them off in my mind.

Oh and is this not completely absurd?

There is a version of the new single as a duet with Sara Bareilles who is quite a cutie in my opinion

I read the name "Kenny G." and decided not to listen.

I have been reading some Raditude reviews trying to find one I really agree with. One thing I find funny is critics' complaints about Rivers occasionally going into "hip hop" lyricism, using "homies" instead of "friends" for example. This criticism rings hallow with me since every review also mentions the days when the group was legitimately good which also happens to be the time when the first lyric to one of their biggest singles was "What's with these homies dissing my girl?" Just an observation.

Huh, I didn't read that particular bit of critique. That's funny. I think "homie" is just kind of widespread vernacular now, anyways.

Pitchfork

Elsewhere on Raditude, Cuomo whines about going to work, pressures girls into third base, parrots hip-hop slang, escapes into ridiculous fantasy

Spin

superficial genre-hopping, embarrassing diction -- "friends" are referred to as "homies," etc

[Flex]

Makes sense it would be Pitchfork and Spin.

[Rat Patrol]

Makes sense it would be Pitchfork and Spin.

Indeed. Racistly derivative of Pavement, it is. There needs to be a one-million mussed-hair/thick-glasses/ironic-shirt grad student march over this.

I fucking love your new siggy Dog. Just got the new Flaming Lips in, will give that a spin and report back...

Reminds me I must get that, I will wait for that report Flex.
