TROLL 2

HEY I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to Amanda or Kenan or Askance J.. We were outside w/ John and a cab came and we got in it. So goodbye! I had a delightful time.

And Tehresa! It was great to meet you! <3<3<3

<3

x2

It was very nice to meet Tehresa for me as well, though I must admit, she looks and acts and is as intelligent and engaging as I expected. I think I've known her online for so long (six or seven years, at least), and know so much about her that I would have been MORE surprised to be surprised. If that makes sense.

it was really nice to meet/see you all! you are all treats.

You're right, I am a treat.

Call him "tastycakes" from now on. That would make me laugh.

<3 TZA <3

We had fun: it's official.

<3

Anyone who feels like showing up at Burke's and watching football with me is very welcome to. More than welcome. Encouraged.

TZA, it was a pleasure.

Jenny, our gchat was hilarious - that last line was exquisite.

Sorry to have missed Saturday nite drinks.

R, K8s, and I went to brunch at JAM in the square yesterday morning, twas good and all but maybe still some growing pains? One to watch for sure.

That reminds me -- @ fountainhead there was a guy I saw out of the corner of my eye several times who I thought was you, and everyone agreed that it did sort of resemble you, but that you were way cooler. He was kinda stuffy.

lol

Oh and this might be of interest to Nick at least, but maybe jvc and others? It's the internet posting of the final album by the predecessor band to my friends' group SAH that you saw... more noise pop/rocky and with a real singer but with many of the same elements.

hey remember when we used to have our blog? those were different times, eh. i was just thinking that we should compile a chilxors favorite things 2011 mix but where would we put it?

thanks dan, i'll give that a listen later
are you thinking music or things, amanda?

music -- i don't actually have any favorite things from 2011

like "products" or w/e

I'm going to give that Shady Hinting Shady a listen later as well, sounds interesting. I'd be curious to know what the chilxors liked this year.

i feel like most of my favorite albums or whatever this year are pretty boring choices, things i see lots of other people liking, but maybe i can think of a few underrated albums or songs

where should we gather these things? should we do only new or also new-to-you?
no bashfulness, just music you bugged over in 2011

lowest-tech option would just be a shared google doc with links to youtubes?

but will anyone listen to them that way?
should we each choose 3 tracks?

will jesse choose the same antlers song 3x?
will anyone listen to my songs if they are over 15 min long?

dunno, sure, probably, sure

Ok then

* three tracks
* find a youtube or link of some kind

remaining questions:
* only new in 2011 or also new-to-you? either is ok with me.
* who's gonna make the doc

i'd be ok with a grooveshark or spotify playlist also, though not everyone has spotify

we could include spotify/grvshrk links in addition to youtube links?

if it's only three songs i think i can manage

i'll try to stick to released in 2011 unless someone tells me otherwise (afaic this includes comps of previously unavailable material and/or available only in difficult to collect formats -- like the mark mcguire comp and my old friends at soundway)

i think i am done with my list tbh, if i only get 3 songs!!

I will participate.

I am also looking forward to sharing my best-of-2011 playlist on Spotify.

I'll contribute three songs, that shouldn't be a problem.

WHAT IF THERE IS OVERLAP

i made a spreadsheet, so far dan, john, and amanda can edit. jon, email me at naamme at gmail if you want me to add you as well, i don't have your email. or you can put it in here if you are ok with that.

dammit i just did too

first come first dibs
someone else chose yr song, boo hoo choose another one

here's the link to view, anyone who wants to be able to edit it needs to let me know

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlI79Z6eAgusdGxTcHB0Z1VEZjBxMFZ5X01nbUJpRnc

xpost are we using mine or amanda's?

YOURS

i changed the title of mine to FORGET THIS
haha

i feel like most of my favorite albums or whatever this year are pretty boring choices, things i see lots of other people liking

P. much but I'll look over my playlists and see what I can find.

Oh wait I've got one already!

i also made the font larger and more orange on yours because i want it to look less like a work doc and more like fun :)

sent my email to n/a

added u

thanking u

Dammit, my one song is from 2010. Fuck!!! FUCK!

I've narrowed it down to like a dozen.

I hate music.

My second choice was also released in 2010.

2011: the year the music died.

I'm going to put all Pit Bull songs.

As usual, I am overthinking this. Should I focus on songs that you guys probably have not heard?
