~~~well, the fountains of wayne, the fountains of
wayne!!

but yeah, i don't get this silly comment. well, this
silly comment about being  silly. i mean, wtf? 
someone states their opinion and you make a rude
comment??  don't get it.

there's lots of stuff i haven't heard yet.  i know
i've only heard the one white stripes single.  and the
other thing that i'm really trying to do is follow my
conscience...i like to be 'up' on new music (which i'm
failing miserably at), but all good musicians and
people who i know whose opinions i respect in most
matters say: like what you like regardless of other's
ideas.  i guess if that means you don't run into
something, or hell, even if you actively AVOID
something that's all hype (although i DO disagree with
that hating something just to hate it factor, that
seems to be the anti-hype, which i think is just as
bad as liking something cause it's 'cool, man'), then
so be it.

yeah, kelly, i think i've missed a lot of lit
classics, too. 

shoes...sometimes, i was there...song then blah blah
blah then yeah!! i get this... then blah blah blah
then yeah! i get this. 

shazam. wow...last year i must have been so cashed out
tired zzzzz.  cause i remember thinking, what's the
hype?? this year, wowowowoww!! yeah yeah yeah, the
shazam. it was fun watching my friends be fan freaks
like i am at so many shows. at one point, i
thought...these guys are so much like local faves, the
millions...and then there they were...members of the
millions standing in front of me watching the show.

i love rock and roll.  more IPO tonight...i think it's
the pages!!! yayayay!!!
