One of my ESL students asked me if I liked James Brun.
I thought she said James Brown, so I answered yes.
It took a few minutes but she eventually mastered the consonant/L dipthong, although she still maintains that James Blunt is worth listening to. Some things simply cannot be taught.

/James Brun. He prays music.

It took the Pixies to get me to watch more than 2 seconds of ballet, and that is the most I have seen in years.

Congratulations on your 2 seconds of ballet. You should see more ballet- I promise it can't get any worse that that little clip. That was terrible, even by school recital standards. You profile says you're from Atlanta. There is a great ballet company in Atlanta, and they're pretty creative by ballet standards. They just did a collaboration with Big Boi (or is it Boy?), that other guy from OutKast.

Well, sit right down, my wicked son, and let me show you some ballet.

Personally, I'd take the James Blunt cover over this any day.

Next, Ms. Schnieblies' second grade class with their puppetpalooza! Lyrics by the Pixies!

One night upon my motorcycle through the desert spead
And smashed my body so that all my friends thought I was dead
My sister held me close and whispered to my bleeding head
"You are the son of a mother farker"

i saw the poster for the new m. night movie this weekend and i was amazed and intrigued that he had decided to make a movie out of the pixies' "the happening". then i read the plot summary. oh well.

I am a pretty cultured guy, I support the arts in town by donation and patronage. Ballet, however, is just something that I have never been able to get into. I did read about the Big Boi production, it only sounded slightly more interesting.

That being said, I am glad to know that aside from the awesome music, that pretty much sucked technique-wise because that is exactly what I was thinking.

Pretty much you are, yeah.

Even the abject wretchedness of this amateur ballet recital fails to obscure the genius of Joseph Alberto Santiago.

I do like FB solo more, but The Pixies were never terrible. Not even "La La Love You", the "Touch Me" of their catalog.

I flip-flop on who I'd rather listen to. I made a FB mix for my kid brother that I prefer to the Pixies greatest hits album he already had.

Billy Radcliffe is one of the better songs out there.

Hey, I got nothin' but love for "All Of My Love"! But it's the "Beth" of their catalog!

I can play "Beth" all night. But it's the "Katmandu" of their catalog.

WTF? "Katmandu" is the "Back in the U.S.S.R." of songs named after places!
