Living With The Living (In The Future)

April 6th, 2007

» Thanks to Marc for sending this my way. Just what is an “indie rock love song”? Is it the music you play when your girlfriend drinks all the soy milk in the fridge, and instead of getting all Ike Turner on her, you forget to buy her a ticket to the upcoming-but-totally-way-sold-out-in-advance Sufjan Stevens concert? I think the world would be a better place if guys ditched the spineless coathangers with bad dyejobs, like Miss Arts’N'Crafts here, and started hooking up with sassy, black women. Lord knows a SBW wouldn’t put up with his passive-aggressive, mixtape-making, Whole Foods-shopping nonsense! But I digress.

» I’ve said it a jillion times before: I LOVE doing my radio show. I will travel ridiculous distances to play records over radio waves and/or the information superhighway. Strangely enough, I did not want to be there. Even when I was at the station I was dreading it, but you know what? I had a blast. Now I’m just pissed with the streaming server, which must have crapped out. Happened last week too, and I’m stuck with half a broadcast. Do you people want me to podcast these?

BTW, listeners are nice, so if you can tune in to the actual broadcast (4-6PM EST, WQHS.org), that would rule.

    “modern girl” by sleater-kinney is SUCH a love song.

    that spineless coathanger there has an incredibly long neck.

    there’s an indie wedding collection at ITMS too.
