No Thinking on Sunday

I confess that when I first heard Dirty Projectors' new single 'Break-Thru', I listened to it like Nipper, the dog from Francis Barraud's famous painting, 'His Master's Voice'. Head cocked to the side, kinda trying to figure out what I was listening to. The song is dissonant, and choppy, and melodic, and fun, and weird.

Then I heard Dave Longstreth talk about it and play it live with a full band, and I decided that I really liked it.

Judge for yourself, and don't think too hard about it.

so that's why it's way better to watch the band play the song rather than suffer through a video interpretation. couldn't stand the video but loved watching them perform the song.

Tweedy is Jewish? Learn something new everyday. Now I can turn off my brain for the rest of the day.

Dad’s weekend drawing to a close. My back is aching, all my things are wer and/or have a foul odor, and I haven’t pinched a loaf since Thursday. My wife is gonna love me when I roll in that front door in a few hours.

Rob wants all the kids to get off his lawn.

if they're wearing that crap, i do.

tiger's hacking it all over the yard and he's still two under for the day.

I’m not a fan of Tiger’s Henley shirt.

Shlara said...

also--I'm torn about who I want to win: Adam Scott, well because, just look at him.
but, if Tiger wins, I think it will finally be acceptable to wear my TW logo hat again (even in the #metoo era)

rob said...

was tiger a sexual predator, or just a horndog? kinda feel like it's okay to root for him, at least against that standard.

rob said...

i recognize that i'm not the most appropriate arbiter of that standard, to be sure.

Whitney said...

Because you were a horndog?

Whitney said...

For what it’s worth I agree. I think he just strayed, not assaulted?

Danimal said...

Solely a horndog.
I would like to see him win which looks pretty feasible at the moment. And I second the shirt sentiments.

Shlara said...

This may surprise you guys, but you don't have to assault someone to be a dirtbag.
It's about abusing power

rob said...

this is what i meant about my lack of arbiting qualifications.
