Sally wrote: "*joins 21st century*"It's more than a bit over-rated. Things are pretty much the same, but a little more sleek. Cell phones? They've shrunk down to nothing. People walk around with little headsets on talking to themselves more, so it's sort of like NYC circa 1988. Also, if you have any retirement savings with a company called Enron, you may want to dump it fast. Please allow me to issue warm greetings from the future!
Today I realized two of my sons and I were all singing along to Taylor Swift in the car.It was not the manliest of moments.
I love that you sing with your boys in the car, RA. It's so cute!
"She wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts..."You are lucky the lyrics weren't the other way around, RA. :)
honestly im into the punk rock, rockabilly psychobilly scene. soooo the next five bands getting ready to play on my ipod are mad sin, nekromantix, koffin kats, the coffin nails, and zombie ghost train
I just learned about Queercore on a thread in another group (yes, TCers, I play around on you) and am looking forward to exploring some of those artists.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queercore
And surprisingly, I couldn't pick up public radio for long stretches on my trip up here, so I was singing alnog with you and the boys more often than I'd care to admit, RA.
Mindy's a group slut AND King pimp.And Jacks...let's just say if Taylor Swift's lyrics are a problem you don't want to be around when I break out the Amy Grant...
Taylor was in Omaha the other night. Big crowds on the street headed to the Qwest.
I've enjoyed some Amy Grant in my time, back when I had a brief flirtation with Christian music.El Shaddai, El Shaddai...
I used to have a crush on Amy. A long time ago.
I didn't care about the music, to be honest.
Nice name for a band -
Group Slut Mindy & The King Pimps
Haha, no that's the first time I've seen it. Barry White! LMAO!(And I am so incrediby honored to have my slutty pimpiness immortalized in a thread title! Thanks Sally or RA!)
Oh, good, you fixed the link, KD!
See, I thought so, but I didn't think you were on right now and I knew RA had commented recently, so I wondered if he had taken over the sacred thread-naming in your absence.Thank you, SALLY!
Isn't there a band called the King Pimps already?

thanks for the links to the chinese music. i will try to get something downloaded on my ipod. will be a fun night.i did totally screw up first attempt at making fortune cookies last night. mixed up recipe and followed directions (mostly) and ended up with gooey globs. after several attempts i gave up and painstakingly cleaned everything up. my wife asked me "did you use powdered sugar?" to which i replied "no, i used regular sugar and flour." she then told me i didn't use flour, i used powdered sugar from the canister. ooopsie. no wonder they tasted so good but never baked up.
round two tonight
*sob*Springsteen is coming to Baltimore for the first time since 1973, and I think I will be out of town.
*sobs again*

Very funny. You are such a good dad!
I think the "in bed" might come out extra creepy given the fortunes Kevin is using."Your dog Sparky… well, he’s no longer missing"
In Bed????
You're sick, Michelle. No two ways about it.
It's damn funny, that's what it is.
Kevin - I have two great CDs I'd recommend, except they're not Chinese per say... they're Japanese flute or strings mostly, some vocals. Tony Scott's Zen Music for Meditation is wonderful (on permanent rotation at my home).
Also I have Ensemble Nipponia - Japan Traditional Vocal and Instrumental Music.
Both are very relaxing and lovely.
"Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!" - Nick Cave"Mexican Radio" - Wall of Voodoo
"Crossfire" - SRV
Dig, Lazarus, Dig is one goofy sounding song. It sounds like Nick Cave spoofing himself to me.
I do! I listened to "Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!" twice in a row, even. Yeah, it is a more tongue-in-cheek version of his style, Sarah Pi. I like it for that.
I'm about to be listening to all my French chansons collections since I got to thinking about all my faves in that other thread. Now I'm craving them!
Daddy's Gone--GlasvegasStrange Times--The Black Keys
Solute Your Solution--Raconteurs
Charmer--Kings of Leon
The Kids Don't Stand a Chance--Vampire Weekend
KD, did you see the Anvil documentary? (The Celtic Frost pics on the youtube page made me think of it.)
Heh, the "barbecued iguana" nerdy line delivery in the Celtic Frost version of "Mexican Radio" cracks me up!
The new Modest Mouse - "No One's First And You're Next" and Band of Skulls - "Baby Darling Doll Face Honey"
"Sweet Jane" - Cowboy Junkies"Wild Night" - Van Morrison
"Eight Miles High" - The Byrds
Ooh. I love the Trinity Sessions. That's one of those albums that's really worth listening to start to finish in this shuffled music world.
BTW - the fortune cookies came out great! not exactly perfect but very cool. again i made a huge mess and had the whole kitchen in a sticky mess (which i totally cleaned up). i made about 48 of them which took like 2.5 hours (after softball game) but it was totally worth it as they will be appreciated i am sure. my new fav fortune in a couple of them:"Chef clazy. Lun. Lun fo yu live!"
