Dude! You just posted 30 minutes in the future!!!

Ok, so I'm listening to Stars again. :) I'm just going down the list. Some of it is great! I love the woman's voice, so I really liked My Favorite Book. Some of it is just too busy, though. They've just got too much going on at once. It may all be in the same key, but it doesn't fit together so it just gets overwhelming.

Thanks for the link! I like the overall sound, but I think some of their harmonies will make more sense when I'm not doing several things at once. :)

I suffer from the same affliction, Andrew.

If you like that tune then you must check out the Absence of God from their album More Adventurous:

The absence of God will bring you comfort, baby
And planning's for the poor so let's pretend that we're rich
And I'm not my body or how I choose to destroy it
Folk singers sing songs for the working, baby

We're just recreation for all those doctors and lawyers
There's no relief for the bleeding heart
Because they'll be losing bodies tonight

And Rob says you love, love, love, and then you die
I've watched him while sleeping and seen him crying with closed eyes
And you're not happy but you're funny and I'm tripping over my joy
But I just keep on getting up again

We could be daytime drunks if we wanted
We'd never get anything done that way, baby
And we'd still be ruled by our dueling perspectives
And I'm not my perspective
Or the lies I'll tell you every time

And Morgan says maybe love won't let you down
All of your failures are training grounds
And just as your back's turned you'll be surprised, she says
As your solitude subsides

And Mike, I'll teach you how to swim
If you turn the bad in me into good again

And I say there's trouble
When everything is fine
The need to destroy things
Creeps up on me every time
Just as love's silhouette appears
I close my eyes and disappear tonight

And something's got to change
Because our love's the slowest moving train


That's some beautiful poetry sung by a beautiful woman.

I like Rilo Kiley. Saw them in California. Jenny Lewis is a hottie and and a talented hottie at that.

Fear of being eaten by a shark? Open Water did it for me.

That's cool. I just wanted to welcome you and let you know about them. Thanks for commenting back.

That is good, and emotionally healthy, that you are not affraid of expressing emotion to other men. I do consider it to be a big problem for men, that they seem so stigmatized by male/male affection. Some gay men are even that way. You might possibly be interested in seeing my discussion I started in The Water Cooler: Has homophobia ruined straight male/male bonding?
