That Damn List Thing
From a US-based music 'zine by the name of
Splendid comes a rather amusing set of lists. We're talking '13 Rock n Roll Public Service Announcements', 'a 17 Song Tribute to Gay Marriage', 'Fucking Brilliant: 18 Songs the FCC's Not Crazy About Either', '18 Other People Jack White Should Beat Up', and my favourite '24 Ways Record Geeks Are Different From Other People':
Record Geeks Normal People
*Believe that Arthur Lee's Love *Believe that love is the end-all,
is the end-all, be-all of human existence be-all of human existence
*Require three days of heartfelt listening *Need three years of high school
to discern the meanings and Spanish to decipher the trivial
motives of Yo La Tengo meaning behind "Yo la tengo"
*Define "going out" as spending the day *Define "going out" as socializing with
poring over the used vinyl section of friends at the local Starbucks and
the local music store looking for a clean discussing normal things like the latest
copy of a Brian Eno collaboration with episode of
Sex and the City.
