A female friend just sent this.
What do you think?
------------------
Women vs. Men
Women
Yes = No
No = Yes
Maybe = No
I'm sorry. = You'll be sorry
We need = I want
It's your decision = The correct decision should be obvious by now.
Do what you want = You'll pay for this later
We need to talk = I need to complain
Sure, go ahead = I don't want you to
I'm not upset = Of course I'm upset, you moron!
You're so manly = You need a shave and you sweat a lot
You're certainly attentive tonight = Is sex all you ever think about?
Be romantic, turn out the lights = I have flabby thighs
I'll be ready in a minute = Kick off your shoes and find a good game on T.V.
You have to learn to communicate = Just agree with me
Men
"I'm hungry" = I'm hungry
"I'm sleepy" = I'm sleepy
"I'm tired" = I'm tired
"Do you want to go to a movie?" = I'd like to have sex with you
"Can I take you out to dinner?" = I'd like to have sex with you
"Can I call you sometime?" = I'd like to have sex with you
"Nice dress!" = Nice cleavage!
"You look tense, let me give you a massage" = I want to fondle you
"What's wrong?" = What meaningless self-inflicted psychological trauma are you going through now?
"I'm bored" = Do you want to have sex?
"I love you" = Let's have sex now
"I love you, too" = Okay, I said it. We'd better have sex now
"Yes, I like the way you cut your hair" = $50 and it doesn't look that much different
"Let's talk" = I am trying to impress you by showing that I am a deep person and maybe then you'd like to have sex with me
(while shopping) "I like that one better" = Pick any freakin' dress and let's go home
This love is a cancer in me, I can feel it advancing in me
This fire it is my light in the world

Yeah, that's cool. I mean, I have a two-disc set of Talking Heads songs that I listen to a lot, so I have no problem with TMBG releasing something similar. I do wish they'd chosen a better title, though.

That's why the best response to that question would be to make a mix CD.
Said mix CD was delivered a couple of hours ago and I cringed while being bombarded with the usual "what does that song mean to you?" queries. Like, no, I don't feel like explaining why I listen to COR every day so shut up and listen to your own music and don't grill me on mine.

I explained the origin of the name of TMBG's compilation "Dial-A-Song."
Now THERE'S a bad title, if ever there was one. I remember when it was announced, and people were thinking it might actually include some DAS recordings. Nope, it's just a misleading title.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why the bitterness, VV? That's a brilliant title because it doesn't promise such recordings but merely (and cleverly and with the best kind of nostalgia) alludes to them. It's low-key self-referencially hip, not misleading.
Well, I DO have a bad allergic reaction to hipness, so maybe that has something to do with it. But I think it's more that an actual DAS collection would have been really damned cool, while a collection of songs I already have is, well, significantly less cool.
I agree with the latter (indeed, why buy a collection of songs you already have?). But still, not everybody knows about that old-school TMBG phenomenon, so it's cool to see people learn about it, don't you think?

A two-disc set of They Might Be Giants? I can hardly contain my excitement!
Beats Interpol I guess.

It's a two-disc album, actually, Cheesoid, and it's damned good because it is They Might Be Giants.

I'm going to go against the grain here, and say "not necessarily." I think the REAL test is whether they actually pay attention if you try to tell them about the music you listen to.

Frog was awesome, you guys. There was nothing Frank-related he did not know or have, which shocked me because, not sound full of myself, in my pre-Frog days I considered myself a collector of Frank trivia and tunes.
I was proud of myself that I could pass along to Frog a bit of musical trivia, albeit not Frank-related. (I explained the origin of the name of TMBG's compilation "Dial-A-Song.")

Answer this one: has Frog asked you anything about music, at all?

Probably not immediately, but be assured he's hoping it'll be a nice springboard for getting you in the sack eventually. |

Funny. Although "You look tense, let me give you a massage" really means I want to have sex. |
