Oh, a...I hope I'm not the Richard in question.<br /><br />Oh, and f*ck the Boomers. The most self-absorbed generation since the Spanish Inquisition.*<br /><br /><br />*Historians have conclusively demonstrated that Boomers score a 7.6 on the Pree-Madonna scale of self-absorption, while Torquemade and company scored a 7.7. <br /><br />p.s.

I know I'm just a blog, but have you read the caveats? <i>Minions</i> is always right (here) precisely <i>because</i> I choose the points of comparison. Your blog, I'll be wrong as much as you'd like, buddy! See, for instance, Jack's comments section.<br /><br />And thanks once again to Richard, this time for the unintended but decidedly beneficial consequence of having Sasha soil my comments with links to that crappy band's predilection for Louis XIV stylings.

I haven't seen this awful commercial, but everything I've heard by them is pretty cool. And this comes from someone who is pretty sure he's too old for about 95% of current indie rock. They may be snotty but they're not a bad little band. I mean, they're not Arcade Fire or anything.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014014605639738887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843455.post-75241343517783350482010-12-30T11:12:52.875-05:002010-12-30T11:12:52.875-05:00And will continue to rule the world.

Summer '85, I think. <i>Fables</i> tour. Couldn't have been more than 500 people there, all yelling "I'm sorry" during "So. Central Rain." <br /><br />Saw them again in '87 (?). Bigger venue, crowd of several thousand. Not the same. I remember we had a snowball fight outside after the show. That was the best part.<br /><br />Haven't listened to anything new by them since <i>Monster</i>.ilsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04559181262919430419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843455.post-48541780693921436522010-12-30T09:36:26.596-05:002010-12-30T09:36:26.596-05:00a-pplied??

Automatic For The People was kinda poppy, but a fine disc nevertheless. Stipe & Co. seemed to lose their way after that. I haven't given much attention to their last couple.
