I'll admit I have a mild, albeit perverse fascination with this band. Mainly that the band's singer—usually the center of media attention for any group—is generally ignored due to his chubbiness whereas the fashionably pretty bassist (the bassist! usually the most ignored member of any band) gets all the teeny bopper mag coverage and is the only one to appear shirtless on the cover of Rolling Stone.

haha, wtf is with your new screenname, Pete Wentz.

I wonder if on the day off between the Orlando and Jax shows he'll go to Disney World.

I think Moz is overestimating the size of his fanbase on this side of the Atlantic, but I dunno. Maybe he's thinking he can draw Pixies-size crowds. Look at these tourdates with accompanying venue sizes: I bolded the show I'll be attending. The Morocco rarely holds concerts—gun shows and antique fairs are more its thing—but it happens. This marks the first time I'll see a show there since I saw Nirvana at that place in 1993.

I'm glad a great many of the people who posted in this thread never start threads themselves.

*snort*

Does she teach at a "special" school?

Real talk?

Kreese, I have to say that now, since we've discussed the aesthetics of "real talk," I'm afraid I'll never be able to use it here or in real life without coming off ironic or post-ironic or just plain dorky. This thread has saved me from some potentially awkward social encounters. Thanks.

I'm waiting for the right moment to use "real talk, son." It hasn't come up.

Not at all, no.

Related: I'm looking forward to the Coen Brothers's adaptation of No Country for Old Men. Composer Carter Burwell talks a bit about working on the score for it on his website.

Have you read that interview he did with the New York Times around when ATPH came out? He seems like an interesting guy to talk to, as long as, ya know, you don't bring up his books.

Real talk.

Oh, so you were pulling my leg with the McCarthy thing. Okay.

The Road came out in paperback this week. It wasn't supposed to be out until September, but they bumped up the publication date so Random House would sell even more copies, what with the Oprah endorsement and all. As for Oprah and this book, yeah, it's an intense, gruesome book at times (though nowhere near as much as say Child of God or Blood Meridian or whatnot), but it's arguably McCarthy's most accessible work to date. And in spite of the gloominess of the story, it's filled with hope. Also, I'm surprised to hear he spoke at your school. What'd he talk about?

I totally gave up on that Bellow, btw.

Dry? Cormac McCarthy is one of my favorite writers, you fuck. And I think it's great that Oprah picked his most recent book for her book club.

We have talked about this before, but Anna Karina runs weird for me. She's still very good looking, though.

Chuck Klosterman will be brought in to ruin everything in the way that only he can. Seriously, it should be an oral history. Get Legs McNeil to put it together.

She's cute. Here's mine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Seberg edit: I originally had a larger picture here, but it was mildly stretched, giving Seberg an enlongated head. Not very flattering.

Oh sweet, I haven't done karaoke in two or three years. I should go.

Who's the dame in yours.
