i don't feel like working on fridays.

i was talking to a coworker last nite at the bar, about some indie rock bands. he in particular was talking about built to spill, which i have one or two of their cds buried somewhere, but probably haven't listened to them seriously in 5 or so years?

and for some reason, i always associate built to spill with quasi. and just so you know i love quasi. and quasi used to be elliott smith's back-up touring band, in case you cared.

i also associate built to spill with the sebadoh, who i also really like. and lou barlow of the sebadoh used to be the bassist in dinosaur jr., with lead guitarist/vocalist being j. mascis. i love dinosaur jr., despite mayer making fun of their name.

also lou barlow is the man behind the folk implosion, and also the deluxe folk implosion. folk implosion is best/only known for their one hit wonder, natural one, which was featured in the movie: kids.

dinosaur jr. used to open for nirvana. sonic youth used to open for nirvana. i remember there was this one concert billboard i once saw from the early early 90's that had red hot chili peppers, pearl jam, and nirvana all playing together on the same nite, in some random small ass venue.

yeah i don't feel like working on fridays.

holy shit, i just had to modify this post as i completely forgot what i was supposed to talk about. so we were talking about indie rock and i remember he said he never got too into pavement. i love pavement (am listening to them now). (ddl) here, by pavement. so anyway, they are a completely different style of music. songs aren't beautiful but can be. they're very intellectually focused. a lot of different sounding chord progressions. whatever. i love them. they are great. or they were great.
