Damn it, I try to keep it low-key for a week in anticipation of a fun-filled wedding weekend and these movie temptations come to haunt me.

i need a fucking job so i can move out of this hovel. that's what i want more than anything else.

Yeah, we all upgraded a couple months ago. It was a pain at first (no more drop-down menus) but I'm cool with it now. Excel is still kinda tough but I was never very good at it (not like you, jaymc, lolz).
― Jordan, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 19:03 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I know the Jay Reatard show is tonight, but I'm pretty tired and probably won't be wanting to do anything that late. I'm thinking more like early evening. Simpsons movie is at 6:50.
― n/a, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 19:04 (sixteen years ago) link
Haha, remember when Sarah had to tell me how to do something in Excel, though? I've never had to use it for anything work-related, so the only time I ever use it is to update my movie-watching log and crunch baby-name stats.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 19:05 (sixteen years ago) link
heh. There is no Office '07 for Mac. Looks like there's going to be an '08, though.
Oh man, I'm boring myself.

Nick, I listened to your mix and the big winner for me (ie I checked out their myspace and would buy a record) is Skeletons and the Kings of All Cities. They actually remind me of the Lounge Lizards a lot. What can you tell me about them.
Also, Nick, I think that I will finally get to work on that track tonight.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 19:14 (sixteen years ago) link
You think that's boring, Kenan?
I have used POWER POINT '07 and I will be happy to tell you all about it.

You can make the words fly right onto the page!
― Jenny, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 19:22 (sixteen years ago) link
REALLY?!
I have Powerpoint '07 but I've never opened it. Same for Access '07, Publisher '07, InfoPath '07, etc.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 19:24 (sixteen years ago) link
I know it's so f'n cool!

Cam was playing some Compulsive Gamblers in the car last weekend, it sounded good.
Btw the next thread should be Chicago: This Isn't Viral Marketing, This Is My Wife!

xp to Jordan: No! I just thought people might appreciate that.

So I read that Reader cover story, and I think that it's the rare profile of a musician that isn't built around selling a CD or other product. The guy really does light up a room when he plays and sings, or at least he did the times I saw him play with Hogan, in a real who-is-that-guy way. The article, unfortunately, didn't capture that and built a narrative around his life outside of what makes him special as a musician. (Comparatively, that's why that Miles R. piece about the FFs worked well -- the narrative was built around the music, not vice versa.)
xpost - see, I tell ya, "douche" is breaking out in August/September 2007.

That's okay, I just wanted to say douchebottle. Trying to spread the term.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 20:23 (sixteen years ago) link
I am listening to this. Interesting, though predictably, most of the covers are no match for the originals.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 20:31 (sixteen years ago) link
original artist of all along the watchtower was jimi hendrix? way to do your fact checking.
― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 20:34 (sixteen years ago) link
Good point, although maybe the cover hews closer to the Hendrix version than to the Dylan version? I haven't listened to it yet. Also maybe they needed a 1968 song more than a 1967 song.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 20:37 (sixteen years ago) link
(Dylan = 1967. Hendrix = 1968.)
― jaymc, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 20:38 (sixteen years ago) link
i just thought it was odd to give "original artist" title to someone who covered it.
― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 20:40 (sixteen years ago) link
i think that's bullcrap
on the other hand, bob dylan took folk melodies and added his own lyrics and he takes/took credit for them, so whatever.
ps long day in the classroom, people. looooong day in the classroom.
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 20:44 (sixteen years ago) link
i know it's a different thing and that folk melodies are public domain, but you know what i mean
i hope
it's time for afternoon tea hooray
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 20:45 (sixteen years ago) link
hasn't dylan gone on record as saying that hendrix's version was superior?
also, horseshoe: movies start at 10pm. They're gonna have an audience vote for which movie gets shown first.
― river wolf, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 20:47 (sixteen years ago) link
jaymc, did you download that comp somewhere? I'm really curious to hear some of those.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 20:47 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, I can probably send it once I get Internet at home.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 21:00 (sixteen years ago) link
That's cool, some of those covers look very inspired or very insane. I'm mostly looking at that Klaxons take on "No Diggety".
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 21:01 (sixteen years ago) link
i hate reading 'happy friday y'all!' every time i open this thread on a tuesday :-/
― deej, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 21:03 (sixteen years ago) link
I think my band is going to do No Diggety on the album :>
― Jordan, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 21:05 (sixteen years ago) link
Also: Led Zeppelin. But they stole their songs from politically and/or socially powerless black blues artists so nobody listened to them complain.
― Jenny, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 21:07 (sixteen years ago) link
troo
I think my band is going to do No Diggety on the album :> yaaaaaaaaaaay this is one of my favorite rollerskating jams of all time. there used to be a roller rink in NC where i would go on thursday night open skate and just skate around and around and around and about 1/3 of the way through the evening they always played this song. so fun.
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 2 October 2007 21:10 (sixteen years ago) link
ps it is diggity spell it right on the album ;)
