"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)

steveo, I have never seen a chickadee here! Greenpoint is such a wasteland. There's so little green space. This is the first year we have had titmice hanging around, and it's costing me upward of 10 pounds of seed a week! The juncos have stuck around all winter for it, and the titmice and jays are about, too. Mainly, though, we have Handy's Sparrow Air Force.

I lived in Lubbock TX for 9 months in 2011. It was really rough for me. One aspect that really bothered me about Texan culture helping others seemed frowned upon. For me, living in Texas was a precursor to life under the 45th president. Public officials made decisions that weren't based in reality and real problems weren't addressed in concrete ways. Fuckin Rick Perry as governor called a "Pray For Rain" rally in Texas Stadium to deal with a drought.

I feel like people from NJ should really sympathize with TX. People bash both states all the time, they both have a lot of variety, and some really great people and artists alongside some world-class A-holes

Then there was the older couple at the highway rest area outside Fort Worth grilling six huge steaks -- who gave us a few slices of pimento loaf when they saw we were hungry.

But some very nice grad students from Denton let us crash on their floor.

@Chuk and Yeti - That attitude very well could be regional. I don't want to disparage the whole state and the people of Texas. I realized I was the outlier when I was there. The natural landscape is pretty awesome and Houston has some incredible art museums I'd like to visit some day.

David (in London):

Yeti Bob. In all my years I have never come across a bespoke expression for it in the UK, so I really don't know. I'd be tempted to call it a 'jemmy' (which is what you would refer to the crowbar a burglar uses as), but there may be a specialist term in the automotive trade. I'm going to investigate and report back.
