So this is my second day on this thingy and I totally forgot my username and couldn't log in. How stupid is that? Pretty stupid. I just wanted to mention, if anyone didn't know, amazon.com has free downloads. Not a million great ones but I just burned a disc with 60 minutes of really good songs I didn't own before. The playlist is as follows:
1. brainwarner "elliot smith's guitar" 2. loudon wainwright "dump the dog" 3.modest mouse "worms vs. birds" 4.elliot smith "between the bars" 5. yo la tengo "the summer" 6. loudon wainwright "the grammy song" 7. woody guthrie "do-re-me" 8. stephen malkmus "jenny & the ess-dog" 9. sleater-kinney "all hands on the bad one" 10. billy bragg "st. monday" 11. mates of state "ha ha" 12. stephen malkmus "the hook" 13. martha wainwright "lolita" 14. loudon wainwright "career moves" 15. modest mouse "dirty fingernails" 16. daniel johnston "tears stupid tears" 17. loudon wainwright "one man guy" 18. stephen malkmus "do not feed the oyster" 19. badly drawn boy - "the shining"
Heretofore I had never heard of brainwarner or mates of state. both of those bands have other downloads that I likes but didn't get because I wanted to make sure I got all the stuff that I really needed. I was especially excited about martha wainwright's song because I am a colossal fan of her father's and almost as big a fan of her brothers. Now I just need to get some of the mcgarrigle sisters, rufus and martha's mother and aunt's canadian folksy duo. I heard that loudon has a sister with a couple albums as well but I think that might be taking things a little to far.
My brother really really wants me to start a band with him. We have a name, the Mount Butcher Hillbilly Boys. Here is a picture of mount butcher hill just beyond miner street directly behind that street light. Magestic, isn't it?
Speaking of the talent family, I just bought david sedaris' new book. The stories seem short but I've only read the first few. It doesn't seem to be as funny as me talk pretty one day or that other one but he is always funny.
Does anyone in the world like daniel johnston as much as I do?

Hoo-rah. I am pleased that my flitty comment has now changed your daily schedule.
Send me a picture to add to my friend list, or, if you prefer, my arch-enemy list.

MandyPants! I'm so glad you will share your competitive cleverness with the world. The World! Not really, but I like to think that anybody can read this, and therefore everybody will. I would expect this to be frequently updated due to the "copious" time you have to kill, but I know better. So I will enjoy each morsel offered like a tender cookie. For instance, the musical appreciatory knowledge has already fill me with evening tasks. This is a good website for downloading free and legal mp3s. I have filled many a folder with great music from it. For instance: Ray's Vast Basement, Wesley Willis, M.Ward (my new favorite person), My Morning Jacket, Handsome Family, etc.
Also, I did NOT do acid with Caroline. And I think I'm just fine.
Oh goody! Another friend of Steve and Marigold's that I can latch onto! I'm so excited!
And, I don't know if you're okay, Steve. Remember, you were the only one of our group who claimed to "see" the "wisemen" in Target that I pointed out. You can't say you forgot that, that would also be a ding against your argument of being "okay".
