Oh, for fuck's sake, V, how far is Northampton from you?  An hour, tops?  Just go.

Uhhm... about an hour and a half, and I have no car and precious few friends with cars. This creates problems. (For example, I just went through several days of intense psychodrama finding someone who could drive me forty-five minutes so I could take the motherfuck*ng GRE. For a concert? This is not happeing.)

OK, so I just looked at V's Livejournal to try to figure out where she lives that is an hour and a half from Northampton.... but I was stopped dead by the entry about a grade of 98% in Eavesdropping, overwhelmed by the certainty my life would have been totally different if I had attended a school that offered a course in Eavesdropping.

And about that GRE, V - any way we can make sure you go to grad school in a place with public transportation?  Because that story was just too sad.

I hate to break your dreams, but "Eavesdropping" is my college Japanese program's term for listening-comprehension exercises. Why? I dunno.

And yes, all the grad school possibilities are big places. Big, big places. With public transportation. And hopefully my own car. Nice stuff like that.

Right. Music.

How'd the GRE go?  Did you take the computer version?

Will be taking the computer version, in... three and a half hours or so. Wish me luck; this may be the only thing that gets me into graduate school.

Good luck on the GRE, dude.  I applied for the Honours program yesterday, which means the magical road to Trying to Get Into Grad School has already begun.

Also, it is too bad that you cannot make the trek to see the Mountain Goats.  So great is my committment that I might end up getting to Massachussetts via a road trip with my gentleman friend's parents, because I basically love the Mountain Goats more than life.  

(His parents are fine, they're lovely people, it's more just... conceptually terrifying.)

Good luck!  Wish I'd known, I might have been able to help with some tips -- I used to teach for the Princeton Review.

Agreed, I like Electric Version much better than Mass Romantic.  Haven't picked up the new one yet.  I need to pick up a bunch of stuff--the Iron & Wine/Calexico thing, the new Broken Social Scene.


Verdict on the Iron and Wine/Calexico thing - if, like me, you already have the original I&W demos for these songs and if, like me, you don't particularly care for Calexico, this disc is entirely superfluous.  (If the second condition applies to you but not the first, let me know, I can make the demos available for download.)

I guess I liked my Sam Beam a bit better when I thought that he was lo-fi because of some minimalist aesthetic.  Turns out he was lo-fi just because he was poor.

I don't know much about Iron and Wine, but Calexico are great.  IMHO of course.  Carry on.

I have the demos and while I like I&W lo-fi, I also liked the added in instruments/production quality versions, too... better for some songs and not as good for some though.

Oh.  Well, in that case, don't go.

Seriously, I thought you were way the fuck closer to the Pioneer Valley than that.  Perhaps even within PVTA range.  Silly me.

No worries. It's not like I've ever posted a clear map of my location on here, anyway.

(GRE updates for those who might still care: took it today. 740 Verbal, 730 Quantitative. I have no idea if those are actually good scores or not, relatively, but I think they're past the "get these or we'll laugh at you" requirements of the schools I want to apply to.)

Well, when I took it in '02, that Verbal would have been 98th percentile and the Quantitative around 80th.  What about Analytical?
