What I mean to say is that it's no joke. You've accomplished nothing in this life, Hermit. It's time to move on—shuffle off this mortal coil, as it were!—and let some less fortunate person be granted the opportunity that's been so miserably wasted on you. Toodles!

Joke?

Favorite songs (of the moment) of my top five favorite bands/artists: Hüsker Dü - Celebrated Summer Tindersticks - Can We Start Again? The Velvet Underground - Heroin Tom Waits - Ol' 55 Journey-Any Way you Want it EDIT: The problem with Agent's editing this post is that while Journey is not one of my favorite bands, "Any Way You Want It" is awesome. Sloppy work, dude.

heh, Pony Express Record was one of my favorite albums in high school. And I don't mean that to sound as condescending as it might. Anyway, np: Animal Collective - Kids on Holiday

See above edit.

You're being too harsh on Yule, I think. The guy wrote quality songs; he just wasn't cut out for the sonic explorations Cale held so dearly. To Yule's credit, they didn't even try to replicate the original "Sister Ray" on any of the three live versions I've heard (they're all dated 1969), however, that's what's wrong with them. EDIT: Not that Yule wrote them, but I think you know what I mean.

Political hip hop? Oh, thank God.

You should seriously consider giving up life, Hermit.

Oh, I forgot. You respect me.

Hey DerangedHermit, I made hating you fashionable. Why don't you grow some balls and come after me.

Flyboy—Sure. godthedog—I see your point, but you fault the band's lack of skill in sustaining the noise jam portion, whereas I think the very simplicity of their playing is what makes it work. To each his own, though. Oh, as for the playing the number several more times thing, the "bootleg" Quine tapes released in 2001 is a three disc set, with each disc containing an even lengthier take on "Sister Ray." They come off less noisy and more straight jam band material; frankly, all the takes are kinda dull, though it may be to the fact that Cale (who's organ—along with Reed's performance of the lyrics—was the best part of the WL/WH version) was long gone and the far more conservative Yule was in.

Remember when I kept changing all the UGS links to gay porn? That was awesome.

Sometimes, Agent says thing I do not understand.

Yeah, the VU fans here all have shitty taste. I learned that a long time ago.

I seem to remember being the only person on this board who actually likes "Sister Ray." Which is a shame, if that's the case.

Heh. Even though I liked that movie, I almost want to hate it due to all the other people who like that movie.

It was a difficult time in his life. Girls wouldn't talk to him, you know.

WL/WH is awesome. Go for it. No, it's terrible. Don't bother.

Returning, that is. Don't bother returning.

Don't bother.

Neither of those posts warranted a response. I'm not ignoring you.

The Third Reich 'n' Roll

First painfully sad admission of the day: I actually bought The Postal Service for the sole purpose of using it to de-pants scenesters. Less painfully sad admission of the day: It actually helped this past weekend. Hey, whatever works.

A friend of mine who's kinda goth keeps telling me to go to "Goth Night" at this one club here in town. She says the place is loaded with sluts.
