^^^ the first one is weird, the second probably isn't

^^ guitar, bass, some keyboards, certain mallet percussion, ukulele, dulcimer, theremin, clarinet, alto sax, and fretted fiddle. bass was never a problem, i just never played it in a band before and now i do.

What do you think of Bombadil?

How much longer do you think Price Music & Books will last?

4/29/2010 3:02:30 AM

Shit dude, how long have you played the theremin? What songs do you know?

4/29/2010 3:03:31 AM

^^ i'm not big on bombadil, but they're not really my style. those guys have tremendous talent, though.

you mean nice price? nice price has three locations and as far as i know they're all doing very well. they have a huge online business which is not really apparent from being in the stores

^ i can play anything that can be expressed with a monosynth line...i play nearly everything by ear unless there's something odd going on

for instance, i couldn't figure out how to play "lust for life" by girls until i saw them and realized the dude was using a capo, which would've never occurred to me

4/29/2010 3:24:42 AM

I suppose this might be considered "huge" and "online"

4/29/2010 7:34:02 AM

oh heather

their website has nothing to do with the business i'm speaking of

4/29/2010 6:47:41 PM

do you enjoy any other Girls song besides "Lust For Life"?

4/29/2010 6:52:38 PM

i like the whole record

4/29/2010 6:57:49 PM

hottest actor of all time, both physically and for the roles that s/he played

what would you do if you had to listen to the yeasayer album (the new one). specifically ambling amp or whatever on repeat for like over an hour?

i'm evacuating my condo. i can't tell my neighbors to turn it down its not even loud and i'm sure they hear my music - its just thin walls. but i'm over it haha.

4/29/2010 7:10:16 PM

Any suggestions for understanding the more obscure allusions in Ulysses?

4/29/2010 7:31:21 PM

Help me decide if I should go and stay in DC to see Mumford and Sons late in May.

I might never get a chance to see them in the States, because they're very determined to stay out of the South East. I've also never been to DC, so that might be fun.

4/30/2010 1:27:43 AM

how will you answer these pressing questions?

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

4/30/2010 8:41:23 AM

^^^^ i would evacuate, yes

^^^ read more? i don't have a good answer for that one

^^ i wouldn't go out of my way to see them, but i don't like them

^ in the above manner

^^ i know, i know

but i practically forgot what a guitar with a capo sounds like

for high jangly shit i have a guitar in nashville tuning

and really, of all the bands to be using capos, girls would be low on my list of suspects

4/30/2010 9:01:14 AM

Feelings on Charles Bukowski?

4/30/2010 10:03:35 AM

meh

not bad, rarely great

a solid meh

4/30/2010 10:05:48 AM

I love that mother fucker.

4/30/2010 10:06:46 AM

Meant like, do you know of any suggested reference materials specifically for Ulysses. You don't have to answer, just wanted to clarify what I meant.

4/30/2010 12:01:23 PM

That Girls song "Morning Light" is a total fucking rip off of the Sonic Youth song "Mote"

I saw them play last year without having any idea who they were and they started playing that song and I thought "that's an interesting Sonic Youth song to cover". Well it wasn't a cover and that's lame as shit.

4/30/2010 12:33:13 PM

it happens

doesn't change the fact that they have three or four stone cold brilliant pop songs

4/30/2010 2:34:56 PM

Best television series ever?

4/30/2010 2:43:43 PM

i feel like saying extras

i probably don't believe that

but EXTRAS

4/30/2010 2:54:45 PM

soooo I could never get ahold of anyone about that signed Ray Charles album

do you happen to have any friends that collect old records that would want to buy it?

4/30/2010 2:56:00 PM

without authentication, no

unless it's a particularly rare record, in which case they might

but the autograph seriously diminishes the value, even if it's real

4/30/2010 3:04:33 PM

I was researching that authentication thing (the COA) and a lot of places said it's basically pointless.. :\

I can't remember the album title but I do think it's pretty rare.. it's from the 1950's I believe

I just know someone out there would want it more than I do..

4/30/2010 3:14:06 PM

vinylbandit: How many times have you tripped and on what psychedelics?

4/30/2010 3:16:30 PM

I have a copy of Charlie Daniel's "Full Moon" album that was signed by keyboardist Taz DiGregorio.


How much is that worth?

4/30/2010 3:18:15 PM

You're the only person that I know that likes that show. Besides myself.

We have VERY similar tastes in music and tv and stuff it seems.

4/30/2010 3:18:41 PM

I certainly don't want a ton of money for it - it's definitely torn up and just an old record. But I figured someone out there might want it, ya know?

I did email some historical collector place though to see if they wanted it.. They had an old document that he signed for like $4K (but I doubt this is worth that much)

4/30/2010 3:19:57 PM

Favorite poem?

Also should Kodiak and I head to NYC for Pavement in September?

4/30/2010 6:01:50 PM

who doesn't like Extras?

who DJs tonight? and you think there's anyone that will want to DJ on tuesday? maybe Charles or Vince? i need to go to that FI show

4/30/2010 6:19:52 PM

Whats your favorite NC86 lyric?

yes this is also very true.

this is why I still own their album and enjoy it.

(Trust me, this is relevant son. If needed, answer via PM son.)

zero times son

5/1/2010 2:06:15 PM

Ok son.

This is problematic then.

Very problematic my son.

5/1/2010 2:06:45 PM

so vinylbandit - are you a hipster?

5/1/2010 6:38:56 PM

mostly

i don't have a stupid mustache or skinny jeans, though

5/1/2010 6:43:14 PM

You, my friend are not a hipster:

Quote :

"Hipsters will never call themselves hipsters. On the contrary, they tend to deny their "hipster-ness" at each possible turn. In addition, they will make a point of chastising other people for being hipsters. Denial is one of the most important roles of a hipster."

That entry has not been updated to reflect the new trend in post-post-irony.

5/1/2010 7:07:24 PM

Have you seen the television show The Wire?

Also, should I go to the Future Islands show tonight or study for finals?

5/4/2010 4:12:01 PM

Indeed.

I'd go to the show, because it will rule. I don't know how much you need to study, though.

5/4/2010 4:19:48 PM

how many times have you been thanked in the liner notes of an album?

5/5/2010 3:17:02 PM

two that i know of

i haven't seen in evening air yet

that would make three

5/5/2010 3:35:29 PM

yep

that makes 3

5/5/2010 3:41:33 PM

bunch of sweethearts, those three
