A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT Just because you come from the West Coast and a "music city" like Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland or Olympia, doesn't mean you know more about music than we East Coast folk. Please DO NOT attempt to astound us with your musical knowledge by mentioning Jack Johnson, The Postal Service, Interpol or Portishead. We just assume you watch a lot of Mtv2. Also, DO NOT say you love "European music" and then stare glassy-eyed at the mere mention of Stereolab, Air, The High Llamas, Komeda, Tahiti 80 or British Sea Power. This clearly shows you actually know NOTHING about European music, except for some obnoxious house DJs with bad teeth and really short hair. And for God'sake, DO NOT make the claim that you "want to start my own radio station" because doing so would cost thousands, even millions of dollars, not to mention equipment, facilities, zoning, taxes and a host of other expenses and red tape meant to keep independent owners away from the airwaves, and that's if you win a lottery for a license. In other words, DO NOT talk out your ass about something you know nothing about. Lastly, DO NOT assume that because you have a hot body that you can get away with this shit! Goodnight, it's summer in California Sleep tight, 'cause you know I'll just bore 'ya Even though you're dying for a fight I've got a hunch you'll be nowhere in sight 'Cause you just don't know what you're talking about And you fell in love with a dead boy scout Digging up the music that brought him to life How can you ever go back How can you ever go... Goodnight, it's winter in California jon ist rad @ 3:47 AM + + + |
