Suburban Kids With Biblical Names - "Jullåten 2004" I've never eaten a burger during a wedding ceremony, or heckled a band more than once, or given one of my professors a noogie, but I imagine the feeling I'm having now to be something similar. Like, awkward, but too busy being a silly goofball to notice. So it stops being about seriousness, you see where you stand, and it is what it is. In this case, a Christmas song that sounds like sailing a boat. It's rosy, it hums, and you will think about it later. I guess kind of like a sunburn, then, if sunburns had positive aspects. Let's (not) talk about the band name, though. yeesh. Note: If you don't have a band name yet, send me at least one song and I will name your band for you. ******* So So Many White White Tigers - Listening to this whole album (it doesn't deviate too too much much) is what I think watching [Buy] Posted by Dan at August 2, 2005 2:21 AMComments
Dan ... Dan .. what's a noogie? Posted by dickvandyke at August 2, 2005 7:01 AM1 entry found for noogie. Main Entry: noogie Is "So So Many White White Tigers" (i like the name!) and some of your other recent avant.noisypunk stuff the kind of thing you're listening to these days, Dan? If so - wild! You're totally OTM with the dragon remark - the wings windflapping and pummeling homes. I also love your sunburn "if" line. And that song's good too. Posted by Sean at August 2, 2005 7:31 AMSKWBN. CYHSY. Well, at least we're getting away from "The Something-or-other" school of band names. Posted by angryrobot at August 2, 2005 11:12 AMWhat's with all the cool band name trashing? I was just thinking of how awesome that name was when POW it's insulted. Don't even get me started on Flotation Toy Warning's unfair treatment. Posted by Ian at August 2, 2005 12:06 PMwell, it could be worse--they could have lifted an entire david berman poem (cf. jens lekman, tho he does cop to it about 4/5 down here: http://www.jenslekman.tk/ ). Posted by erik at August 2, 2005 6:51 PMHow does Pretty Girls Make Graves have Dan Bejar involved? (ie., no, I don't think they do.) Posted by carl w at August 3, 2005 12:18 PMThat song isn't 'Paws'. It's 'Macauley Culkin'. all fixed, thanks! you're all daisies. except for those of you who aren't. Posted by dan at August 5, 2005 4:58 PMPost a comment |
