Ok, I just need to know.

Does any other wine taste like port?

If so, I might be off wine forever.

Simply by the sheer way port is made, no. It's fortified with brandy, hence regular reds and whites taste differently.

 

[the tourist]

I can't get over how much I like that album. Girls Can Tell used to be my favorite because it was the most cohesive and had a great vibe, but GaGaGaGaGa is stacked with some of their best tunes.

There's only one track on it that I don't care for. The one about the little Japanese cigarette case.

 

[Axver]

Spoon are one of the worst bands I have ever heard in my life.

 

[bono_212]

Coldplay is beating The Kinks and Simon & Garfunkel on your charts.

Wang Chung is 52, and I only know 2 songs by them. DO you realize the implications of that?

I'm surprised about the Kinks though. I thought I'd listened to them more. But having Sleepwalker on vinyl has skewed that a bit.

It's a bit repetitive, yeah.

Because you don't like fun music, be it happy or clever.

WHAT THE FUCK is in an American-themed restaurant.

The same stuff that's in Texas Roadhouse?

I tend to assume I'd like white wine. Do you have any idea how to describe what it tastes like?

 

[Axver]

Most ostensibly fun music isn't actually fun.

 

[the tourist]

You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb->Don't You Evah->Rhthm & Soul->Eddie's Ragga->The Underdog=

 

[bono_212]

Ugh, probably.

Why does steak predominate all things as being so "american?"

 

[bono_212]

Ok, Cher + me + shuffle aren't getting along tonight. On to Elton John

 

[LemonMelon]

Most ostensibly fun music isn't actually fun.

Axver's idea of fun:

[10 minutes of near-silence]

[3 minutes of a bunch of wankers trying to play louder than the wanker next to them]

[2 minutes of a wanker wanking on about maggots chewing through his skull]

[16 minutes of wankers trying to wank harder than the wanker next to them]

[3 minutes of near-silence]

 

[the tourist]

Also, Farewell/Goodbye is possibly the best/my favourite M83 track.

[16 minutes of wankers trying to wank harder than the wanker next to them]

[3 minutes of near-silence]

...and rinse, lather, repeat.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm guessing that Ashley's 65 Aerosmith plays are all Dream On.

 

[Axver]

I tend to assume I'd like white wine. Do you have any idea how to describe what it tastes like?

Yeah, I imagine you'd prefer white over red. Reds tend to be more powerful, strong-tasting wines. I'm coming up blank with wanky wine-tasting vocabulary right now ... I guess whites tend to be lighter, more vibrant wines.

Sounds as much as I would expect.

Yeah, sounds like a good way to pass the time of day.

I'm sure quite a bit of them are since I listened to my DI list a lot before submitting it, bu I do listen to a bit more by them

 

[Axver]

See, I'm not thinking steak at all. I'm thinking of greaseburgers.

Steak to me is quintessentially rural. You know, "real men" eating their big steaks and chips in the pub over one or two or twenty beers.

70 Girl Talk plays this week even though he only has two albums. I'm guessing...roughly two plays of each?

The thing with "American" food is that all we really have that is all our own is hamburgers and hot dogs. It's got a lot to do with what we've talked about before, about American having no tradition/culture of its own.

I've listened to Feed the Animals 4 times, and ...that other one once.

Well, I'd also expect to find that extremely Amerified Mexican cuisine.

We'll find out if FAR and Other Albino Guy successfully con me into this. I probaby will, just because I want port and $10. And I can bring back a menu for your amusement.

Still, like Chass said with Texas Roadhouse, that's got a lot to do with Texas. That kind of food is called Tex-Mex here.

Please bring back the menu, I'll probably enjoy it immensely.

Hamburgers and hot dogs are both German

I think probably the only real stuff that we have of our own is southern cuisine. The south sort of has its own culture, separate from the rest of the country, and we do have dishes that don't occur anywhere else.

Fried chicken and biscuits are quintessentially American, for example.

SEE!

But I didn't think of fried chicken. Thought it's still unhealthy God, don't we cook anything good for you?

 

[Axver]

Fried chicken?

I'm sure somebody prior to the 1600s thought to fry up a chook.

 

[the tourist]

Is it wrong of me to agonize over making a perfect playlist?
