Re: books, books, books
Finished Vonnegut's Mother Night. Very good, but then again, Vonnegut usually is. Now it's onto Deadeye Dick, then Kafka's Amerika. ...I feel like such a literature dork.

Re: Momofuku Poll #2 - Whaddya think?
Well, I still haven't had the time to fully digest all of what I'm hearing, but I think this is a damned fine album. A few thoughts: I agree with Otis' #4 -The 'to the bridge' and whatnot sounds a little contrived. I don't see why so many people are whinging about Turpentine. I think the double drum...

Re: Momofuku Poll #2 - Whaddya think?
My copy came today! And so far is is verry good, but I shall refrain from voting until a few listens. Amazon shipped them yesterday, said they would arrive Tuesday, so boy was I surprised when they came today! It's like a birthday today! Elvis, Tom Waits, Nick Lowe, and the SSA name popularity lists...

Re: books, books, books
Just finished Vonnegut's Player Piano. Excellent, as expected, of course. I just got a library card, so hopefully I'll be able to add a lot more to this thread in coming weeks. Oh, and a charming book called Ana Cultiva Manzanas for Spanish.

Why do so many teenage girls want to look like walking disco balls at their prom?
Got my dress today. For pretty cheap.

Re: Momofuku Poll #1 - How will you buy it?
Sam- I dislike burned CDs. They feel....incomplete to me. I know I'd have the vinyl, but, eh. I find CDs a happy medium, as they still have artwork and credits, but are more portable.

Re: Momofuku Poll #1 - How will you buy it?
CD. I'd buy both CD and vinyl if I had my druthers, but my money supply says otherwise. Not having something on CD bothers me. I like something I can put in my disc drive and make mp3s out of at any time.

My They Might Be Giants intro set, also known as the retrospective Dial A Song: 20 Years of They Might Be Giants. I forgot how quirky-awesome the Johns are. I even get to use a song for an American Studies extra credit assignment.

Yay Spooky! I'm so glad you're alright. I consider you a good friend of mine, even though we've never met. Here's to hoping Jordan is alright too. I'm sure everyone here is sending good vibes his way.

Re: What is on your music 'to get' list atm? cds, etc
Nick Cave -Because I've never heard him before, besides some intriguing 30 second clips on iTunes. The Jesus of Cool re-issue -I've really meant to get around to that Regina Spektor's earlier stuff. More Ryan Adams More XTC, Drums and Wires most likely. I require more Tom Waits... Frank's Wild Years...

Re: 'Lost Highway will release Momofuku from Elvis Costello'
Well, needless to say, I'm excited....but I'll be waiting for the CD. Blasphemy? Perhaps. But my wallet will thank me. However, I would have bought the vinyl had the CD come out several months or so after the initial release. Goes to show, Elvis.... But yeah, excited. Needless to say..... you mean ...

Re: Strict Time
At first I thought this post was going to have something to do with me! Being taken to task by the Elite, perhaps! Well, if you can't tell, I dig the song too, but John has answered your question besutifully already.
