I am undereducated regarding Yo La Tengo and, although I know of them, don't know Slint's music. There's a lot of music out there, you know?

Oddly, a handful of people have asked me if I was going to see Billy Idol tonight, as though the answer was going to be yes.

i love music more and more every day.

do you have any saturday plans? i was thinking of going for some margaritias and fish tacos at taqueria del sol.

Around what time? I don't think I have anything going on, unless jimmymontrose has some sort of birthday thing on Saturday.

bsmith14 April 20 2005, 03:48:38 UTC

no certain time, but the evening time is preferrable. day time is study time. i'm betting jimmymontrose has a b-day thing planned, so i understand if that overrides my outing.

I just got into Yo La Tengo over the past year or so and GOD I love them. I can't believe it took me this long to get into them since they've been around forever. And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out makes me want to cry, it's so good.

I'm also slowly getting into Slint and Palace Brothers, all that Louisville stuff. Again, been around forever but just now getting into them. I guess I'm a bad "indie rocker".

bsmith14 April 20 2005, 03:27:38 UTC

i've been a bad indie rocker too. Slint's stuff is incredible. maybe i should check out the Palace Brothers?

Well, I think the Will Oldham/Bonnie Prince Billy/Palace Brothers/Palace/(or whatever?) is a little different from Slint. More folkish I guess? I heard Will Oldham for the first time on this movie soundtrack and I was in love with that song. I think there's a small sample of the song on the Amazon page to listen to.

There's stuff that I have no idea about and it's like my secret shame. I mean, I don't work at a record store, you know? How much stuff can one person absorb?

bsmith14 April 20 2005, 13:26:49 UTC

der_erlkoenig April 20 2005, 13:47:09 UTC

der_erlkoenig April 20 2005, 13:48:19 UTC

i.e. because it's silly.
