you disappoint me, tuxedo. you...disappoint me.
Idaho music Message boardyou disappoint me, tuxedo. you...disappoint me.
yes, that must be it!
self respect??
I have many women, a large fortune, houses around the world, power and respect -- I need for nothing in this world what so ever!
Yet, listening to Idaho makes me feel like I'm missing out on something -- if only i knew what?!!
I'm in the same boat as Codreanu. Unrequited love with a beautiful girl. No Idaho or SWS release soon to hope for. :(
oops...
(bet you guys wanna know who my dealer is now)
"I would describe Omar as an R&B Early Day Miners mixed with Eitzel and a touch of Oldham -- but happier!"
What planet are you on, dude?
I've heard Omar and, yeah, he's pretty good, but I wanna know who your dealer is to be getting a link between Omar and EDM, Eitzel and Oldham!?!

i'm michael plaster. hence the "mplaster." :)
What the fuck?
The Omar I'm talking about is not the one that Brian in NY discusses. He's the one that had a freak summer hit about 15 years ago with "there's nothing like this" (which he now refuses to play live) and has since been shunned by the music industry since he started making beautiful, meaningful music (cause we know what they think of that!). Anyway...

Also, the beautiful girl I've been referring to is indeed my daughter (Sonali) -- she's 3 and reminds me of her (late) mother in every little way. I join the above, also, in having no hope of meeting (another) beautiful woman...
is michael plaster M2 ?
(sorry, I don't know how to make the "M" bigger)
My posts aren't the least bit funny either. I should really stop.
I'm a pointless,
No, I have a point. Your estrogen treatment's are working fine. Whine, whine, whine.
I'm a pointless cunt.

At the Drive-In is
Omar from At The Drive-In / Mars Volta is worth a mention as well.....
Not ready to put him in with Jeff, Bob Mould, J. Mascis or Ian Curtis 'club', but worth a run at "deafness".
well, m2, in that case your missing out!
:)
Actually, there are
I second Jerome's views on Omar -- If there's only one R&B act you check out this year...
...um I think jerome meant his daughter!
i've got not just one hot chick, but many hot chicks and all the IDAHO albums a dude could want.
"Shoulder Back" gave me that feeling years ago. So did "Save". And probably many others I'm forgetting. I know exactly what you're talking about, though.
You have backward desire, huh! Oh well... Anyway, Omar is an awesome (in the true, classic sense of the word) soul/R&B artist (and I ususally hate soul/R&B), check out omarmusic.net. Yeah, having a nice girl is truly a blessing. But seriously, haven't any of you guys ever just breen driving, say, and some Idaho tune has completely transported you the way really only Idaho can, and at the end of the tune you actually feel good about yourself! You feel that, yeah, things are kinda shitty but --- I still have this!! No matter what, I love and FEEL this music, man! And things don't feel so bad, if only just for those few moments. Some of you guys on this board could convey what I'm trying to say...
I have neither the hope of any girl, nor an Idaho or SWS RELEASE to console me.
The girl, secreted in beauty and distance, ruefully removed from even the robust acquaintance that would render rejection possible or meaningful, is too much present; haunted? more like 'to haunt' --how else does one exist absence and depression? Michael, feel fortunate, you have memories. I have backward desire. Not to speak of your potentiality of musical, expressive catharsis (catharsis? silly greeks) as against my emotional aphasia.
And thanks for turnin' me on to WEEN, man.
I have neither the hope of any girl, nor an idaho release to carry me through.
instead, i'm burdened with the leadweight of writing an album about the girl i lost long ago. if i abandon work on it, the songs will haunt me in my brain; unresolved, not ever being able to be completed and freed from my heart. yet, if i
While I have neither the hope of a beautiful girl or a new Idaho to sustain me, I will content myself with asking: jerome, who the hell is Omar?
Hell, at least you've got a beautiful girl... I'm not so lucky, but the prospect of a new Idaho album in the coming year is keeping me hanging in there by the skin of my teeth... n and any single u.k. based ladies that appreciate idaho... oh well - it's just a pipe dream
This may have been dealt with before, but I just want to say thanks to jeff for giving us such amazing songs. You know, I've been in some strange circumstances lately and have lost more than any man is supposed to, but the other day I was listening to Idaho (the vieux carre album which the completist in me bought - its not bad) and thinking "whatever they take away, and what ever happens (other than deafness) I will always have Idaho and AMC and Jurado and Kozelek and Omar and and ... but, really, mainly Idaho." I know I'm not a good writer, and this all probably reads very awkwardly but I swear, I don't think I'd be alive today if it wasn't for Idaho (and two or three other things, like my beautiful girl!). So, thank you! thank you.
