hello, dahlings. i have discovered the root of the whining teenagers problem: it's lesley jo's absence. for reals. lj writes the most personal and sometimes painful posts ever, but they are always written in a witty and engaging manner. i can't do it, which is why i leave my miserable drivel at home. new listees are truly truly deprived, as they haven't heard tell of the art-girl-saga or been privy to lj's amazing stories. subliminal message: i miss lesley jo! i don't even know the girl. oh wait, i don't know any of you. not really. but damnit i miss that girl! two belle experiences this weekend: 1) written on the bathroom wall in the beehive coffeehouse in pittsburgh's southside: "poupee de cire, poupee de son". (also written, "boy you better make her raspberry swirl" (tori)) 2) an IYFS poster appearing in the promise ring's new video (for "emergency! emergency!"). which comes as no surprise after jason (guitarist) wore an IYFS shirt in an interview on mtv this summer. come to think of it, that boy wears lots of other bands' shirts, it seems. someone doubted the genius of tim kinsella of cap'n jazz and joan of arc, and for this he will be brutally punished. someone else expressed lukewarm feelings toward rainer maria, and he too shall be dealt with accordingly. the connection with b&s is obvious: beautifully crafted music and wonderful lyrics. i mean, duh. ;) someone else tried to defend his/her alleged scenester status, and i think if you feel compelled to do that, it's all over. it's also funny. not funny haha, funny like i told you so. funny haha is that story of the man chopping off his hand. that's fucking hilarious. or should i say f-ing hilarious? oh my god i am officially hooked on the lucksmiths, after hearing only "guess how much i love you." i'm supah jealous of my best friend in boston who gets to see them next week (who is Also hooked after hearing only that song -- make the connection, kids: i put it on a tape for her), and i've ordered her to purchase records for me so as to avoid obscene import prices. hopefully. but i may be abusing the list asking for a tape of their stuff fairly soon... i am falling for this new trend which is amusingly called "casio-core." you know, recorded beats and casio keyboards, etc. i saw the band winterbrief play this past weekend in pittsburgh and i dug it hardcore. um, not That kind of hardcore. oh never mind. (side note: props to the bands h.a.r.m. and kisswhistle, too, who i loved loved loved). oh dear i've rambled on Far too long. if i can ever figure out how to put video things on the internet, or even how to make a site, i'll show you all the modern dance piece i've choreographed to "simple things" for our student dance performance. til then, imagine the best ;) xoxo, ree (who is being a faerie for halloween) ===== ************************************************************************************************* "I was a proper snob in college, as only a future lifetime English major can be" - buddy glass "to me she was just marie." -mersault ************************************************************************************************* __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
