This never really worked for me.
It's reliant on not moving very far from where you grew up.

Right. I have actually been living pretty close to where I grew up for the past decade and half, which caused some deal of anxiety at first, which I believed I touched upon last night in the group hang when it was mentioned.

I listened to this album today and the whole lo-fi thing is, in retrospect, not so great - I don't really see what people saw in it, to be honest.

Did anyone read the recent Pollard bio? Or was this alluded to above in code? (Who's the Replacements fan?)

I read and loved it but I don't know if I'm the most objective reviewer, it's great to have anything in-depth to read

their first NYC show (after a 6 year live show hiatus!)
a life-changing night. for me anyway. afterward, on the sidewalk outside cbgb, i bumped into stephen malkmus, who i didn't know, and he told me i should go see the ass ponys, who were playing somewhere else, maybe under acme?, at like 1:30 am, but i went home 'cause my life had already been sufficiently changed, but later i came to regret missing that ass ponys set. that was a good time to be alive and into rock music.

Lol I saw the Ass Ponys open for Afghan Whigs

I saw the Ass Ponys at Brownies once. The opening act was The Upper Crust and Conan O'Brien and Andy Richter were there to see them, I think. All I remember is what seemed to be a really long, drawn-out version of "Ape Hanger." I ended up being a huge Wussy fan in recent years.

I always found the Upper Crust to be a dependably stupid fun time
