I discovered this after I discovered that there are only four songs by The Smiths that you can buy off of iTunes. I wanted some more Smiths after having to listen to lame music for two and a half hours and listen to stories of half-mast concerts people had attended. Hoo-rah. The lead singer of that band that you love pays too much for his trendy tight t-shirt that I've seen five other people wear. What was funny is that one of the kids told this joke, "How many indie kids does it take to change a light bulb?" and the punch line is "you don't know?!" because no one ever knows any indie bands....l
ike the indie bands I like...
Whatever, I can't believe he didn't have appreciation for Lynyrd Skynyrd.
iTunes has limited selection which can be such a pain but even Amazon fails me. Where can I get some Oskar Schönning? It's not as if Swedish jazz is really that strange. His site is in Swedish so I wouldn't know what I was ordering. Yeah we're back to that light bulb joke again, I guess.
But there was a most excellent discovery tonight. We wandered through a Barnes and Noble and found a little pocket book dictionary of slang words. We stood around reading each other entries for a while, my favorite being the "monet" pronounced like the painters name. It's slang for someone who looks great...from far away.

Hmm, we bought a whole Smiths album on iTunes not that long ago. Maybe double check.
ReplyDeletethere did used to be more Smiths on iTunes, it's true, but the other night when I checked there was a serious lack.
ReplyDelete"Full-on monet" Used in a sentence by Cher in the movie Clueless describing Ambular at a party.
ReplyDeleteAhem......"she is a full-on monet. See, from far away she looks ok, but up close she's a total mess".
Since when did Lynard Skynard enter the realms of indie rock? What kind of music appreciator are you?
ReplyDeleteha ha, collector
