Wow I thought Led Bib was like a prog album. Whoops. Sorry, not even the opportunity of being able to understand what you guys talk about is enough to get me to listen to squonky jazz. |
What is wrong with squonky jazz?

I guess I should get Led Bib, it did win the Mercury Prize and all. The funny thing is that I didn't see it on any jazz lists besides here. |
I thought they didn't win the prize, they were only nominated. But still get them.

Shoot, you're right, I was misreading. But even just the nomination seems to have changed their lives, so that's good.
I actually did get a Zorn CD from my parents, but they were nice and let me open it before Christmas. ;-)

Listening to non-Christmas music on Christmas Eve on the way home ftw.
Especially since I had to listen to Christmas music in the car ride home from relatives.
|
I'm listening to more of the Scary Solstice songs. They are great parodies of Christmas songs.
|
Never heard of it. I was in between The Fall of Troy's Doppelganger and Jingle All the Way by the Flecktones. I'm listening to the second one either after the first or tomorrow morning.

I'll give it a listen tomorrow if I have the time, or Saturday if I don't.

Thank you, but seeing other people happy depresses me almost as much as introspection.

I haven't listened to Pink Floyd in forever, I'd forgotten how good that song is. But I've always thought Rick Wright was the best member of Pink Floyd, even if Broken China kind of sucked.

It's usually more annoying than musically interesting.

I realized that after I said it. :(
I actually feel kind of bad that I wasn't really upset when Rick died, I wore black for Syd.

Without Rick Wright Pink Floyd would probably a lot less liked by me. I sometimes wonder how much of little nuances of PF's sound were created by him.

one year for Christmas, my father in law got my wife the best present she'd ever wanted
the most extravagant, most incredible gift a girl could ever hope for
a motherf**king pony
that's right, a tiny little adorable horse that she could have for her very own
they already had a barn and a big pasture area where it could roam and chew grass and be a f**king pony and do f**king pony things like ponies do
now they weren't particularly rich, but they had some funds and her father, being the rather shrewd businessman that he is, managed to get this particular pony for absolutely nothing. Scot free.
How, you ask?
Simple. This pony had terminal cancer.
So, imagine this situation. Christmas morning. Bringing your lovely daughter out to the barn, shivering against the blowing wind and rain. Once inside, you shut the door. She's covering her eyes with her little mitten hands, huge grin on her face in anticipation. This is it. This is the moment every tiny girl dreams of.
"Okay, honey! Open your eyes!"
"OH MY GOD DAD ITS A PONY! MY VERY OWN PONY!"
"That's right honey! A pony! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Now, this is your pony, so you're going to have to take care of it. I expect you to feed it and water it every day, and take very good care of it!"
"I will, daddy, I will! I promise! Can I ride it right now? Can I?"
"No, honey. You cannot ride it. You can never ride it. This pony is sick. It has cancer. You are going to feed it and water it and watch as the one thing you've always wanted more than anything in the world slowly withers and dies painfully, right before your eyes, and you'll never be the princess you always thought you would be. Merry Christmas! I'm going inside, its colder then a witch's tit out here."
Thus, the saga of the cancerpony was born, spawning the single saddest, funniest word in the English language. |
