Shimmering Wang 1 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Some thoughts on albums for teacher:Built to SpillHe likes jam bands and, they have a very jam-bandy feel, sometimes. They also can make really tight pop albums, too. So. You know, whatever.The Hold SteadyVery literate bar rockJoanna NewsomEven more literate. Very weird, though, obviously. I do not know if these guys have been mentioned. I am too lazy to read the thread.Wang Link to post Share on other sites
Dirtydutch 8 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 true, sea change and mutations would be nice additions methinksHow about the rest of the "hey, 'Indie' music is accessible, too" cliches, like :ShinsArcade FireSpoonInterpolBloc Party Modest MouseHold SteadyBuilt to Spilletc.Also, I've had a lot of positive nonhip response to my beloved Thermals' The Body, The Blood, The Machine.

Shimmering Wang 1 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I dig.Who'd'ya take/what was the handicap?I had the NL +144 and Under 10.0 runs for the game -114. The "handicap" was: The AL has won this game for more than a decade, so retards are playing the AL because "you don't bet against the streak." No way I'm laying chalk in a fucking exhibition game, just because a totally unrelated team from 10 years ago won an even-more-meaningless game. The AL's dominance in interleague play drove the price up, too. Public was going to be all over the AL. The under was just a fade of the "LOL EVERY HITTER IS GOOD HOW CAN IT NOT GO OVER WITH TEH SHORT PORCH AT YANKEE STADIUM" logic I saw a few places. Neither play was really that legit, but the thought of losing 3 units on an exhibition game for no reason appealed to me. I really just wanted some action. The book dropped the line from 10 to 9.5 a little after I booked my action, so I I was probably on the wrong side of that bet. Wang Link to post Share on other sites

SlapStick 0 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Rory Gallagher. Irish bias obv but hes quality.They asked Jimi hendrix(or so the legend goes) how it felt to be best guitarist in the world and he said "I don't know ask Rory Gallagher" apparently Rory laughed pretty hard at that one.http://youtube.com/watch?v=znsZuirU3-c This one is acoustic most of his songs are on electricHe was a red headed, musical, alcoholic irish man that basically drank himself to death? can anyone say stereotype?
