Origam is a good one, making little weird things out of band flyers is always a good party trick.

You forgot orgasms.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 30 November 2006 16:39 (seventeen years ago) link

no, i just exercised that solitary grain of decorum i have.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Thursday, 30 November 2006 16:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Good thing I'm around, then!

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 30 November 2006 16:41 (seventeen years ago) link

It was too much to hope for that Otto and Kenan could be exercising decorum at the same exact time, I know. (XP)

Did I tell you guys about my family drama a while back? My frenchie sis posted some nude pix online and emailed all the relatives to check them out. WELL.. not quite... She posted a link to her husband's photography site which included topless pix of her at the beach, which is apparently no biggie in Le France. Anyway, my mom saw them and flipped out, naturally. That was a while ago. My dad never reacted because he don't know nuffin' bout no internets and never followed the links.

Anyway, all the relatives were together at Thanksgiving and one of my superconservative uncles took my dad on a private walk to discuss his daughter's evildoings. So, that's how my dad found out! And it looks like it's going to be getting ugly.

i love, honor, and respect my parents and everything but i also have no problem with telling them to fuck right off when need be. just because you are someone's son or daughter doesn't mean you aren't an adult capable of making your own decisions.

link plz

I'm held responsible for Nick using the phrase "Saturdays are for fuckin' and feedin'" in Summertime, but other than that my record has been pretty squeaky clean the last year or so... as far as my dad knows. BWAH HA HA HA!

I got over being a disappointment to my relatives back when I was 12 and they announced that, no matter what I chose to do with my life, I would be going to hell regardless since my parents got divorced.

― Calico (calico), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

B-b-but going topless on the beach in France where it's culturally acceptable is a total Our Bodies, Ourselves thing to do! Tell you're mom that she's clearly just very comfortable in her body, thanks to her feminist upbringing.

Where should I eat lunch, Chicago? And who in the loop is unbusy at noon and wants to eat lunch with me?

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Thanks Sarah and Kevin!

Second project: Uncover my address in Truckee, CA in early 1995.

You lived in Truckee? Isn't this the city that always has the lowest temperature in the U.S.?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:04 (seventeen years ago) link

You want to eat delicious udon noodles from Tokyo Lunchbox. I do too, but I have crockpot curry to eat.

Oh shit *I* want to eat udon noodles!

"Saturdays are for fuckin' and feedin'"

I've never noticed this line!

As long as Matt's mom is alive, there will be no swearing in C4n4st4 songs.

John: I dunno. It was pretty cold when I lived there, but I try not to think about it. Miserable, shithole of a town.

Amanda: Hmm... maybe. But it's right by work and I'm at school and if I go eat there, odds are good I'll skip my last class. And I probably shouldn't.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Miserable, shithole of a town.

Did you spend a lot of time in Reno and Tahoe?

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Truckee! That's where I played that wedding over the summer, and rode around in the back of a pickup truck drinking and singing gospel songs.

Reno seemed pretty depressing, except for the taco stand we stopped at.

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Tahoe is pretty. Reno is... also miserable. But it's a lot easier to find a $5 blackjack table than in Vegas.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:13 (seventeen years ago) link

John, I think you and your weird feet should try a pair of these Dansko clogs. They are expensive, but footprints.com sells them and you can wear them around for two months and then send them back if you don't like them anymore. I'd go to a regular store to find your size, though, since Danes do some wacky sizing (these are a 42N and I usually wear a 40 regular).

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:16 (seventeen years ago) link

...is a total Our Bodies, Ourselves thing to do...
I totally tried that. My mom's confused though. Half the time she's a woman's libber and the other half she's telling us we all better settle down soon before it's too late. Anyway, she sees this move as pornographic and unfeminist. She even said her big fear is that my sister would be STALKED and RAPED because of the photos. I mean, they are so tame they wouldn't appear in playboy. That said, I still wouldn't feel right posting a link to them.

― Calico (calico), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:16 (seventeen years ago) link

(xp) Okay!

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I was just being a perv. I do not really want to see your sister's tah tahs.

She even said her big fear is that my sister would be STALKED and RAPED because of the photos.

haha That's great.

The internet is a system of tubes, you know, just big enough for a rapist to crawl through.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Odds on my plane being delayed and/or cancelled seem to be rising. Stupid weather.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:21 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost Also, she thinks any day now she'll stumble across a site with porno films starring my sister. This makes me wonder if she's actively searching for them, just to prove a point.

― Calico (calico), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:22 (seventeen years ago) link

The hysteria about porn and rape is a bit much, but I can tell you all honestly that I would not want topless photos of myself posted on the internet. That's the same as if they were on the wall of a far-off closet. They might not be in Newsweek or Playboy, but they are still accessible. No thanks. It's alright if they're floating around in a drawer somewhere, but I would rather keep my boobings under wraps as far as the general public is concerned.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:25 (seventeen years ago) link

John, do you have a link to any kind of huge list of 2006 records?

I don't know if I'm going to be able to write a top 10 list for that local blog this year. I guess I didn't hear that much, and some stuff that would be on my list would only be there for a few tracks (Ghostface, Roots, Jay-Z).

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I know, Amanda. I wouldn't either. That said, everyone needs to get over it because it's turned into this thing.

― Calico (calico), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:34 (seventeen years ago) link

In other news, I'm winning a bid on ebay for a cute cake topper. Eep!

― Calico (calico), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:38 (seventeen years ago) link

For your wedding?

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes. It's this one.

HA HA HA J/k

― Calico (calico), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Jordan: the closest thing I can think of is Metacritic, although they just list the 30 best-reviewed albums of the year and then a sidebar of, oh, about 100 or so "new and recent releases."

Some blogger just asked C4n4st4 to do a top-5 albums list, so naturally Matt sent it along to me. I am going to spend today deciding whether Joanna Newsom, Destroyer, or Grizzly Bear gets my #5 slot (after Girl Talk, Sonic Youth, Final Fantasy, and Junior Boys).

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:41 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost No, it's a vintage one. The guy especially looks like Nick.

― Calico (calico), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:42 (seventeen years ago) link

If anyone wants a YSI of the first Tristeza record (since we were talking about post rock the other day), email me. I've been trading with peeps.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I had just looked at metacritic.

Here's what I have so far:

Justin Timberlake
Ghostface
Roots
Squarepusher
Thom Yorke
Tortoise
Jay-Z (actually fives of the tracks + the bonus live disc)

There must be some stuff I'm not thinking of but nothing really comes to mind. Wait, did Raw Yang come out this year? :>

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh and Prince, and Y0ungblood, I think I can do this.

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Raw Yang did come out this year, yes.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 30 November 2006 17:59 (seventeen years ago) link

No longer writing for $tylu$ = no more free downloadable albums, waaah! I'd like to hear Jay-Z but I'm not buying that shit. I'm also trying to download the Lady Sovereign album piecemeal from Limewire. I don't remember what else.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 30 November 2006 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Whenever I think about this, my list tends to get really unwieldy. But I have a few things really solid:

Junior Boys
Man Man
The Hold Steady
Destroyer
Boris
Thom Yorke
Tom Waits
OOIOO
The Roots
Tortoise
Michael Mayer - Immer 2
Lindstrom
Booka Shade
Xiu Xiu
Sparklehorse
Ellen Allien & Apparat

and lots and lots of other things.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 30 November 2006 18:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, it's a little chilly outside.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 30 November 2006 19:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Gah, I don't want to walk outside for lunch. I'm getting hungry.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 30 November 2006 19:14 (seventeen years ago) link

If I had been wearing anything more than two thin layers of Amer|can Appar3l cotton, I would have been fine.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 30 November 2006 19:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh shit, does Roisin Murphy count as 2006? If so that's definitely on there.

I went home and ate a hot dog for lunch. Again.

― JordanC (JordanC), Thursday, 30 November 2006 19:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I'm leaving at about 4 today. I stayed late yesterday and came in early today. Fuck everything, I want heat and cats.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 30 November 2006 19:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I am not arguing about bands I've never heard of on the internet.

― Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 30 November 2006 19:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I have to leave at 4 today to try and find a 59 or 55 bus to Midway.
