Chicago: More Bars in More Places

Um Jordan, I don't know what to tell you about Skeletons and the Kings of All Cities. The main dude has a few albums with different personel. His last album was credited to Skeletons and the Girl-Faced Boys and was called "Git!" and was good too, though a little slicker/poppier than the new one. A bunch of us saw them live a year or so ago and they were really different than they sound on the albums, way more noisier/jammier and less song-y. If you like that one song, you would probably like the whole "Lucas" album, the sound is pretty consistent throughout.

If I were an ILM dork, I would say that song is one of Timbaland's like top 5 production jobs.

Another reason why WXRT is pretty much the best commercial radio station, despite playing entirely too much Hootie: one time, the DJ followed up the Regular Guy's review of Freddy vs. Jason with "Freddie's Dead." You can't claim that ClearChannel preprogrammed that from a remote location.

I think Ginuwine sings real pretty. I actually can't help but listen to that song whenever it's on the radio but it also makes me cringe.

How do you feel about the "In Your Jeans" song?

I don't really remember how "Pony" goes -- I think I only downloaded it after Nick raved about it one time, and I don't recall hearing it on the radio (must've been in my Dark Period). I do often sing "In Those Jeans," though.

haha xpost

I am sort of eh about the song, but I am loving the literalism of the video.

"baby can I get in those jeans" while pointing to jeans=awesome.

god now i'm voluntarily listening to "Pony" Nick what have you done.

I'm sort of fascinated by the grossness, I guess

ginuwine's '100% ginuwine' is a front to back great record. i have both vinyl + cd versions

thats the one before 'in those jeans' but after 'pony'

both of those are from it, one of my favorite R&B records ever and probably the best front-to-back timbaland record as well*

*a lot of ppl probably disagree about this and i'm sure folks could make a good case for a missy record

i don't remember "in those jeans" at all
also i haven't heard "pony" in a bajillion years so my memory is not to be trusted

all i remember is serious literal pony riding in the video

^^^ok so i guess there were three videos from this album

Ginuwine is awesome. What's that video where he's dancing with the broom?

R&B is gay.

I sucked so bad at tennis tonight. I should be fired.

Can you recycle gum wrappers?

I chew a lot of gum during school, and it seems like all of those gum wrappers just go to waste.

(I'm talking about those foil/paper wrappers found on Extra gum)

^^ Why I want to strangle me a Freecycler.

Lots of kids use the paper part of the wrapper to make bracelets. You fold them and hook them together somehow. Do a search...I'm sure you'll find instructions.

I would hope that these people are all 18 years old or under.

It took me a while, but I finally got the thread title's reference. I had assumed it was referring to actual bars.

I have shame.

Oh. I still don't get it.

Oh. I might be dumb.

Surely referencing the Verizon Wireless commercials, right?

Cingular.

Featuring Chicago's skyline, geese, and other things to represent an exceptional degree of cellular reception.

R&B is gay.

Ha, I deserved that.

Aye. You did.

There comes a time when man must decide--do I take that pack of cigarettes that I was going to give to the homeless out of my gym bag and smoke one, or do I go to bed?

Now is that time for this man.

dang, i didn't get the cingular reference until you guys mentioned it. i was assuming it was references to the corner bars in most 'hoods. my old boss told me a story about him being a kid in the '50s and walking two blocks from his relatives house to his house with his dad on xmas eve and his dad hit every corner tavern for a shot and a beer. there were two intersections that had four bars on them on the way home. you don't have that type of saturation in as many places anymore.

Jeff, we should play tennis sometime. I am really bad. We have one metal racket and one wood racket, so when Sarah and I play I have to use the wood racket and it sucks.

It took me a while, but I finally got the thread title's reference. I had assumed it was referring to actual bars.

I guess there's back story to it that I missed during my hilxatus, but it kind of skeeves me to have a corporate slogan as our thread title (despite being ILX's resident viral marketer). Sort of like how it skeeves me when people repeat commercial punch lines as their main source of jokes in social situations.

WHASSSSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP?!?!?!?!???????!

WHERE'S DA BEEF, CHICAGO

i cannot stop sneezing

also i have no shame about not 'getting' the thread title, as i always proudly mute commercials

for the most part, shame (in general) can suck it

I have been sneezing like CRAZY today. It's been bad over the past week, but today has been the worst.

Genuine speaks to me. Oh, that sexy, sexy voice.
(If only I could find a gif of amy sedaris doing a jerri smirk)

John, I think you would have liked being at the roller rink back in the day, listening to great pop tunes at top volume while the disco ball turned and colored lights scattered across the floor...

Overheard in the hallway outside my office just now: "...tiny Asian couple..."

I thought the thread title was SUBVERTING the CORPORATE PARADIGM. Which I think is also a commercial....

And we do meet up in bars a lot.

I didn't catch the celly reference either. It just makes me think of drinkin'.

I was just given this accounting project which sounded huge and made me grit my teeth as I accepted it a la chloe:

Then I got to work on it and, as per the usual, it turns out it's supereasy and almost kind of even... fun.

I don't understand the FAFSA.

I sure wish the Cubs game tonight wasn't:
a) starting at 9 p.m. central time.
b) only being broadcast on TBS.

yah srsly, exclusive rights to playoff games, so they can't schedule them against each other: teh suck

That's lame.

Nick, I just sent you a rather long, informative email about the FAFSA.
