Their entire last album (The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner) makes me weep with joy. What a way to go out.

Unrequited love is depressing.

April, every time I look at your avatar I think "why is Duncan conducting an orchestra?"

leave april alone. she belongs to me.
we are the brand new beatniks. we are the down and outers.
we are the bleeding hearts, beating syncopated, broken rhythm.
our speed is often break neck. we need to slow it down.
tired of being sleepless. tired of being broken.

Remember kids, if you have tits, you belong to Jeff. It's just a rule. If you think you own yourself, you're wrong, because Jeff has a deathgrip on at least one of your tits at all times.

Pretty much all of Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner, specifically Don't Change Your Plans, Jane, Mess, and Magic.

Your Redneck Past is pretty good too.

You think that looks like Duncan?

It's some random drunk guy at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto. Everyone was standing around and he ran up and started dancing.

And Alan, I am well aware of this. It's voluntary, though.

All of his EPS from this year are good. Get "Theres Always Someone Cooler Than You" and he also has an aweseome cover of In Between Days. And if you want a song as beatiful as Brick download "Mess" its an amazing song.

Ben Folds Five is great. I enjoy too many of their songs to list.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.
