"BOOK 'EM, DANNO!!!!!!!!!"

Sat. 8/1/09 3:49pm From: Laurie

I almost went to the beach yesterday, but I walked out the door and promptly walked back in. It was 97ºF, I'm pretty sure.

I floated around in the pool instead.

Sat. 8/1/09 3:50pm From: Laurie

And Pseu, you really need to see this Wildwood Highlights clip here, as posted by Rich from Four Four who has previously documented the delights of South Jerz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eqCBCUawKY

There is indeed a Normandy Beach, New Jersey. (near Chadwick Beach)

Sat. 8/1/09 3:54pm From: '74 Nova Dave

I always wanted to storm a beach

Sat. 8/1/09 3:55pm From: Wally

What's stopping you?

Sat. 8/1/09 3:56pm From: '74 Nova Dave

Need pirates

Sat. 8/1/09 3:57pm From: slugluv1313

Sat. 8/1/09 4:08pm From: wally

Sat. 8/1/09 4:15pm From: Danne D

Hiya Laurie :)

Sat. 8/1/09 4:17pm From: David Shortell

Michael Stewart's alive, ain't he? He wrote a book on Love.

Sat. 8/1/09 4:24pm From: Laurie

Heya Danne.

Sat. 8/1/09 4:39pm From: Laurie

I need more pictures of Billy Childish shirtless, please. I only have this one: http://i32.tinypic.com/s1uttv.jpg

I'm, like, "Hello, forearms."

Sat. 8/1/09 4:44pm From: Danne D

Sorry Laurie, I tend not to collect bare forearm pictures of men :) Um, sending pics of me would not satisfy your forearm lust so I will spare you :o)

Sat. 8/1/09 4:46pm From: Laurie

Billy Childish should never wear a shirt. Ever. Someone, please, sneak into his closet and burn all of shirts. Every one of them.

Sat. 8/1/09 4:56pm From: matt

Is that Zachary Brimstead, Esq.?

Sat. 8/1/09 4:58pm From: Laurie

Oh my lord, matt, I think you're right. It is.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:06pm From: Laurie

The double f sound isn't pronounced any differently than an English f. It's just an f sound.

Also, I'm pretty sure "Blodyn Tatws" as "blahdeen tatoooos"

I don't know why, but the w sound in Welsh is pronounced with many oooooooo's.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:07pm From: Laurie

My dad's a linguist. His penchant for studying unusual languages he'll probably have no use for rubbed off on me.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:31pm From: Danne D

Laurie's always one of the more interesting commentators on the playlists :)

Sat. 8/1/09 5:47pm From: im a cunalingist

Sat. 8/1/09 5:54pm From: Danne D

Have a happy rest of your weekend, Terre!
Take care everyone :)

Sat. 8/1/09 5:54pm From: Jumpy

I heard that Rick James was AWOL from the Navy at the time. His uncle was in one of Motown's band and got them signed.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:56pm From: Jumpy

Terry Melcher used to put a 2nd and sometimes a 3rd basslin on the Raiders stuff (that one being an organ thought).Results were a great sound.
Don't ask my linguist status.

Sat. 8/1/09 5:58pm From: Jumpy

Warsaw Club is actually Greenpoint, not Williamsburg.

Sat. 8/1/09 6:00pm From: Roger from Montclair

Nice. I thought I was the only one who knew the Records. I love this song. Besides being a Big Star fan you also like The Records, nice. Now how about Ready, Steady, Go by Generation X. Thanks for making my afternoon.

Sat. 8/1/09 6:01pm From: slugluv1313
