It pains me that according to this he likes Nick Cave a lot. Much is confirmed, however, by the revelation that his number one played song is by Phish.

The St0rmfr0nt laddies also like them some Nick Cave. It's tremendously upsetting to me.

Ned, I'm disappointed in you. Picking on the man for listening to Phish. Come on, he's Jonah Goldberg. Isn't Phish far better than you'd expect him to listen to?

― Mickey (modestmickey), Thursday, 29 September 2005 01:49 (twenty years ago)

I wasn't expecting to see him listening to Skrewdriver, no.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 29 September 2005 01:50 (twenty years ago)

I don't really mean bravo to Jonah for listening to a band who makes good music (which I don't think Phish is). I'm just surprised that Jonah actually listens to something so unlike him and everything he stands for rather than fitting into the cartoonish conservative archetype I envision him being.

It's kind of like spotting Anne Coulter at a Devendra Banhart show or something. You have to give him some credit for being, er, "open minded."

― Mickey (modestmickey), Thursday, 29 September 2005 01:56 (twenty years ago)

What puzzles me most is not the Phish (there are plenty of party hearty frat boys into them, as well as an inordinate number of completely tone deaf people) but the fact that the song is "Fee", and he's listened to it 181 times. One, I think it's one of Phish's worst songs evar (saying this as a much picked on fan). Two, how can you listen to any song that much (in a "relatively short period of time")? Even a good one?

Not at all surprised by the Nick Cave, though -- for the same reason as noted by joseph cotton further up.

ITUNES [Jonah Goldberg]
That could be a fun game if everyone was willing to play. On this computer, my #1 iTunes tune is Fee by Phish (181 plays), followed by Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel, Into My Arms by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and then several songs by the Pietasters and then The Kinks and The Who. But I've only been using iTunes on this computer for a relatively short period of time. My laptop would probably have it slightly different.

It's a sad, strange world.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 29 September 2005 11:59 (twenty years ago)

He does, however, vindicate my loathing of Phish.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 29 September 2005 12:07 (twenty years ago)

What's on his ITunes: "Hip to Be Square" of course..

Uh, maybe he doesn't know anything about Nick Cave and just likes that one song for whatever reason? I hope?

― dar1a g (daria g), Thursday, 29 September 2005 15:29 (twenty years ago)

strange thread, you'd think he was a racist or something, oh wait he's conservative. he's mostly just a lightweight. i'd bet he's a big fan of santana.

― keith m (keithmcl), Friday, 30 September 2005 02:09 (twenty years ago)

Maybe, but before Carlos "sold out" with the 'Supernatural' stuff. You can be a political conservative and into tolly rockist things by people who hate what you stand for. I mean, what else is there to listen to, unless you wanna align with Nugent and Nashville? (Extremely oversimplified view, I know; thanks in advance for forgiveness if any is needed. I care less about JG and his taste than the time I'm taking to write this post would indicate. Hope he's digging his sounds, actually. Everybody needs music.)

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Friday, 30 September 2005 04:54 (twenty years ago)

Let me make that "*current* Nashville." If Waylon came out with "Six White Horses" today, Toby K. would be *pissed*.

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Friday, 30 September 2005 05:00 (twenty years ago)

I bet he keeps a secret stash of Dave Matthews somewhere, after pretending to delete it all in protest of Dave's politics.
