Clark Coolidge Listens To The Beach Boys
Its very wonderful to discover these kinds of connections. In The Crystal Text, there's a line, "The laughs come in hard in Auld Lang Syne." I knew I'd heard this but didn't know where from. And then I realized its from this song by this man and this man who worked with this woman on her new album. It just makes me feel good, like all the things I like are a little galaxy, stars all corresponding to each other.

Personally, I can't listen to some whiny singer whose cousin is the douchebag mayor of San Francisco. And I hear that Ys cost Drag City more than that doomed Plush album Fed--or maybe DC didn't finance that album... But Van Dyke Parks is totally RAD. Have you heard Song Cycle? Fuck yeah.
Oh and Get A Life was the best!
And if I kissed Mike it would be a man kiss to the max. Max!
I didn't know Joanna Newsom's cousin is the mayor of San Fran. Sometimes nearly bankrupting a label can yield enormously positive results. Loveless? I think there are several accounts of Allen McGee sobbing while that one was birthing itself.
I once watched an episode of Get A Life with the laughtrack turned off. It was kind of disturbing.
My definition of whining: Bright Eyes. Not that whining is nessecarilly uninteresting. But yeah, that 'its your birthday' skit and the Beethoven rip-off, which ends up sounding like Paint It Black on too much Zanax and vegan Choco Puffs... Can't get into it. Where's Weird Al when you need him?
Haven't I'm embarrassed to say heard Song Cycle. I know Parks mostly from Smile lore.
Many kisses to you, Mr.
By whining I meant that Joanna Newsom's voice sounds like someone trying to strangle a cat in a paperbag. Not that I like Connor O'Burst or anything. Also, how many indie rock divas does Bill Callahan have to fuck already?
Did you know that Charlie Kaufman was a writer on Get a Life?
I agree. JN is as lame as can be.
I wish she would give up her harp and get a job at KMART!
