This is witty and profound and you love it.: May 2007

It wasn't me! It was the one armed man!

I always knew he was a killer!

From "Overheard in New York"

Worker #1: Wasn't he friends with Angelo?

Worker #2: No, Angelo hated him. Angelo hired two bums to beat the crap out of him around the corner.

Or maybe it was the Angelo copycat killer!

Cat & Girl

This is what Andrew listens to

Meg with red hair?

Jack with a white guitar?

One of these is incredibly arousing.

Also, Jack looks like he's 25 again. All in all, I'm incredibly antsy for June 19th.

And then there's this:

CoT (as me fither would type)

I am currently under the impression that my boss has 0 degrees Kelvin taste in music. Let's run down a list of artists I've been playing at work (in lieu of EZ(ed) Rock) and his reactions to them:

Amy Millan - "Hardhearted" from Honey From the Tombs

"Is this some kind of mechanical bear band?"

Apostle of Hustle - "Haul Away" from National Anthem of Nowhere

"What's that guy doing?

The Beatles - "Octopus' Garden" from Abbey Road

"This song is so stupid."

Bob Dylan - "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" from Live 1964

"He must not be very good at the harmonica."

Cat Power - "He War" from You Are Free

"God, what's that?!"

David Bowie - "Ziggy Stardust" from The Singles 1969 - 1983

"I could never like that guy. Too weirdo-freaky-weird. No. I don't like it."

The Decemberists - "July, July!" from Live at SoHo

"Is that the Pet Shop Boys? They sound like the Pet Shop Boys. Not that that's a good thing."

The Ditty Bops - "Gentle Sheep" from The Ditty Bops

(While rolling eyes) "Dear GOD!"

Feist - "1 2 3 4" from The Reminder

"She sings like Christina Aguilera. This sounds like it's from the 30's."

Neil Young - "Old Man" from Live at Massey Hall

"Some of his stuff you just listen to and say 'Jesus Neil! How many drugs were you on that day?' That song that goes da da daaaa da is good though."

Nina Simone - "I Love My Baby" from Gold

(No comment, only a look like I had just stolen his milk money)

Norah Jones f/ Dolly Parton - "Creepin' In" from Feels Like Home

"God! Weird mix up! Ugh! I can't listen to this!"

Sloan - "Sinking Ships" from Navy Blues

"This doesn't sound like Sloan! It sounds like something from the '70's. Not that that's a good thing."

Tipsy - "Space Golf" from Trip Tease

"What the hell is that?!"

Tori Amos - "Taxi Ride" from Scarlet's Walk

"Tori Amos? I've never heard of her."

Here are some bands which I haven't yet played for him, but I bet would garner a great reaction!

Arcade Fire

Bjork

Broken Social Scene

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

*****Addendum****

This what he says abot music he likes:

Johnny Cash - "Ring of Fire" from The Best of Johnny Cash

"This is good music. You just have to sit and listen to it. You can't dance to it or anything."
