Fringey's taut-abbed painter

Apropos of nothing, I heard some pretentious music rant on "Fresh Air" the other day -- apparently, Alberfeldy is the Scottish band that we should all be listening to instead of Franz Ferdinand -- and thought of you.

Then I realized that I didn't even know that Franz Ferdinand was Scottish (or Scots, for that matter), and it was like it was the whole "is Jill Sobule a riot grrl?" thingy all over again. And so I wept.

Thanks for thinking of me! Sorry about whatever small role I may have had in the whole weeping thing. I don't think I would take as gospel any advice about rock and roll that you hear on Fresh Air. But what do I know? I think the fake html tag schtick is retro and fun!

Well, I kinda figured that Fresh Air's Pretentious Music Critic (PMC) would be behind The Zeitgeist's Curve, so to speak, but thought that I would at least be ahead of them. Instead I learn that The Curve is listening to the Stones, Fresh Air's PMC is listening to the Beatles, and I'm still stuck on Dion and the Belmonts.

At least Sirius has an oldies station.

George enters rehab center for the first time ever. Funny, I would have thought he'd have done that years ago. But no.

LOS ANGELES - George Carlin is entering a drug rehabilitation facility to shake his dependence on wine and a painkiller.

“I’m going into rehab because I use too much wine and Vicodin,” the 67-year-old Carlin said in a statement released Monday by his publicist, Jeff Abraham. “No one told me I needed this. I recognized the problem and took the step myself.”

The name and location of the facility weren’t disclosed.

Man. It is our second date.

And thank you for the dating support. yay, indeed!! I will report back if I get some.

If? Have you ever made it clear to a guy that you wanted to fuck only to have him decline? (Spouses don't count). I think thats unpossible.

Why can't most chicks just say "Lets go back to my place" and make it clear that they want to fuck? Why does it always have to be hints and a pseudo-courtship ritual involving loads of booze and double entendres and such. I enjoy flirting as much as next cat, but damnit, when you both have a shared interest in bumping uglies asap, just get down to brass tacks...

And that concludes my seminar on how many cliches one can use in a fifty word paragraph.

Your overuse of "cat" really needs to stop.

You ask some excellent questions. I'm not sure why I said "if". I guess I have not "dated" in about 10 years and so I'm not really sure what's going to happen.

Curious about the PMC, I went to the NPR Fresh Air web page. I read the PMC's top ten. He is not going to turn you on to anything too subversive, it appears, but his list seems decent. I grew suspicious when I read this, though: "Ken Tucker is also a film critic for New York magazine." I'm not saying that you cannot be a music critic and a film critic - I'm just saying it make me suspicious. Jack of all trades and what have you.

Are you SURE you didn't go to business school?

I had a co-worker who drove me nuts with this shit. He followed a formula. If you discovered a band, he'd find a band that some its members previously belonged to and complain that the new band you discovered was sell out version of the previous band, which always had less commercial success. He also used to laud awful bands like Deep Purple or King Crimson, and depending on who he was talking to, they'd either be underrated, or kitschy classic.

I heard Tucker being pretentious as well, and his list mostly sucked. I did appreciate his mention of Ludacris, however.

Well, I guess I do not own any of the CDs he lists and do not think I will (with the exception of maybe the Black Keys, and possibly the Eagles of Death Metal because some cat recommended them). But, it is not like I look at his list and cringe in horror. Probably not a bad list for your average NPR listener. And for those of you who think I am just making some condescending slap at NPR listeners, you are correct.

Leave the driving to me...

Get drunk.
Look him in the eye and tell him exactly what you want.
Fuck him.
If its good, repeat until blistered.
If its bad, pass out.

Its real simple if you just remember not to think.

Thats why I never dated anywhere near sober. If the brain is operating at full throttle, chances are your cock won't be. Its no fun if you're thinking about it.

People say you want to be sober to recall the first time with anyone. People say a lot of things - people are fucking idiots.

What the fuck do you know? You're a goddamned U2 fan!

In fairness, I really like about seven U2 songs, and I think "In a Little While" is a really excellent tune.

After prolonged exposure, the new Libertines' disc grows on you. It is now acceptable. Not great, but acceptable.

The Datsuns are a strange band. If you like a band that can't decide whether they want to be speed metal or new wave punk, you might enjoy them.

Anyone got any info on "Death from Above 1979"?
