I Don't Understand Each Word In Your Sentence
by Jordan
Please note: MP3s are only kept online for a short time, and if this entry is from more than a couple of weeks ago, the music probably won't be available to download any more.
The only kind of band I like is the kind that's American and sings in French. That's the way I was raised. Anyway, I never liked a band until the other night when I first heard Listing Ship on the advice of the enigmatic B Castanon. Today I will share their music with you, the readers of StG. Before I do that, however, I will continue to run late until I catch up (or will I? (c.f. Zeno's Paradox)), at which point the sun will set everywhere in the world simultaneously and my post will appear. Posted by Jordan at September 30, 2005 11:57 AMComments
For some reason, I find the first line of this post to be the most charming thing I've read all week. Posted by Aarika at September 30, 2005 12:25 PMdoes that mean you like pink martini? Posted by ed at September 30, 2005 2:47 PMit may be a necessary but not sufficient condition for liking a band... Posted by alex at September 30, 2005 3:09 PMI seem to remember the band mentioning that they were Canadian at their show in L.A. this spring. Sorry to burst your bubble Jordan. Posted by Joey Hurst at September 30, 2005 7:27 PMLove this blog by the way. It's amazing how you guys make the music come alive with just a paragraph or two of commentary.
