oh, dude, I would not freeze up in that situation. I would bust out that she was wrong, and be hell of obnoxious about it if she didn't believe me.

On the other hand, I don't like David Bowie very much. So I wouldn't have known. Except that... the album Quicksand is on came out in 91. I maybe would have been able to figure that out, based on the fact that I only know the ones up to when Lou Barlow left, and that was like 89 or so and I know I have never heard of that song.

[KeithHernandez]

Oh, I am going.  Part of me is going just to try to get high with Lou Barlow though.  I like him a lot more than Dinosaur Jr., and I really like them.

[linnea]

I saw Dinosaur Jr. in Denver in June. They were pretty good, but I wouldn't drive through hell of treacherous ice-covered streets to see them.

[theinevitable]

Lou Barlow? really? Sebadoh have never really grabbed me, except the song "Freed Pig." I listen to that song, and then skip every other song on the album looking for something that sounds like that. I then go back through, and try to listen and... none of it really appeals to me.

I imagined that Sebadoh would sound like "In a Jar," and when they didn't I gave up on them. Except that, you know, I have two of their albums, so sometimes I try to listen to them again.

...if I had any idea how to edit photographs or upload them to the interweb, I would find a picture of Yoda and write "that... is why you fail" under it.

[KeithHernandez]

Yeah, the Folk Implosion- Dare to Be Surprised is actually the album that started me liking Barlow.  Some of the other stuff is alright, but off and on.  I really like Folk Implosion.

LFM-- I am aware of this. I know this.

Actually, I was probably exaggerating. I would hopefully restrain myself. I do not say something in these situations unless I am absolutely sure. And even then, in the form of a question.
"Didn't Bowie record it first?"
"I don't know."
"oh. yeah. he did. Dinosaur Jr were covering him."
"oh."

Yes, now that I think about it, I have restrained myself about that very thing on several occasions. The situation in which I would be obnoxious about it would be if she were dismissive of the idea that I could be right, you know? Once someone responds in a way that indicates they don't believe that I could be correct, I lose it. "It" meaning, you know, my chance of getting laid. But do I really want to get laid by someone who is not only wrong, but refuses to acknowledge that they might be wrong?

It depends on the person, of course. When metal kid who bugs me when I am trying to do work tells me that Dinosaur Jr are fuck*ng lame, and "pussy indie rock," I just grimace and say "whatever, man. I like them a lot."

I seem to have walked in on this conversation a bit late. I love You're Living All Over Me, but I haven't been able to get quite as into their other albums. Then again, I haven't really given them much of a chance. Which is the next best?

[theinevitable]

I think Bug is generally considered the second best. I don't know, as much as I like Dinosaur Jr and want to be like them, I have not  listened to anything other than these two albums. There is too much music in the world, my friends. How can I listen to 6 different Dinosaur Jr albums when there's a hundred of years of music that I want to hear?

A dude I knew from highschool and throughout uni once told me this was how he dealt with situations where someone said something that he knew to be wrong, either that or he'd just agree because although he was one of the smartest guys I know he didn't like seeming all confrontational about that kind of this. It is a thing of modern society that my first reaction was to mentally go over our conversations to work out if he'd used this technique on me.

[Carlos del Vaca]

My favorite Dinosaur Jr. album is Green Mind, but that's just my opinion.

Today I'm gonna turn in three papers and do a final. Wheee!

10 second commercials?  Awesome.  I've always felt that's what YouTube was missing.

You tube doesnt have full seasons of popular television shows uploaded by the networks.
