I miss my AIM talks with subliminal_animal.

I said no individual people, guys, come on. That's too easy.

Now I'm listening to Big Star, and "The Ballad of El Goodo" just came on. Oh man.

I said it was pretty good a few posts ago.

I remember getting Oh, Inverted World back when it came out. For a couple of years, I was pretty sure that one line in "New Slang" was "like the king of the assholes." It wasn't until a year ago that I bothered checking the lyrics, which shown I'd been wrong. I don't care, though. Still a great song. Didn't change my life like it did for Natalie Portman's character, but man, whatta song.

I just watched Garden State with my female housemate. It was pretty good, though a little touchy-feely at the end. Of course, because of that movie, I'm listening to the Shins right now. And I'm drunk.

I'm 26. How is this possible. And I don't care about the GTG folder, Czech. You fail again.

They're wearing makeup, so disqualified from contention.

I don't care that you guys are joking, just stop with the whole Journey/Talk Talk shit. Jesus.

I don't much care for the Clash outside of London Calling, which I love. The Sex Pistols, while undeniably important in music history, were mostly awful, though "Bodies" and "Anarchy in the U.K." were kinda fun.

Oh, for the record, said roommate no longer takes Zoloft. Last night, he mentioned possibly selling them.

An upper, eh? Never much cared for those; my longstanding caffeine addiction has me too wound up as it is.

I'm gonna go get hammered in about an hour.

I have a birthday tomorrow, did you know. I'm hoping to spend part of it recreationally abusing drugs.

Will Zoloft help me understand ?

I don't understand.

What are you implying.

And the only person to ever post on this board that I've come close to hating is MarioLogan.

I actually don't like Alf. I've been wanting to change my AIM name for the longest time, but everything I want is already taken.

Spoon said he wasn't available on the 1st, so "no" for him.

Is this happening or what.

And hey, I'm aware the two don't sound much alike, but I'm listening to Liberty Belle and the Black Diamond Express right now, and "Head Full of Steam" is so great.

This band still isn't great outside of "Lazy Line Painter Jane," however. I prefer the less fey, but still wimpy, indie pop of the Go-Betweens.

You know what's an album from the 60s that's good? Astral Weeks, by Van Morrison. (I've never heard the Charles Mingus album of the same name, so I can't comment on that one.) But yeah, the title track, "Madame George," "Ballerina"...outstanding.

Do I look like some sort of expert?
