Real profile: never.

Fake profile(s): right away. what difference does it make?

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

This means first date, right?

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

Isn't that right after you meet someone?

ETA: STP, yes, but Penske underestimates flower.

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

Oops. I suppose it's good that we email mp3s like normal people, so I have not technically missed my window of opportunity.

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

First meeting, first date, semantics in my world.

You pay for dinner? I thought you were a player.

I buy the sushi, the girls provide the serving platform.

And its playa, to be clear.

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

Never. Too many opportunities for misunderstandings/paranoia. Someone leaves a comment on his/her wall and it seems flirty and then the other person is seeing it and wondering, is this a relative being cute or someone who has a crush on my man/lady friend? Even if you don't think you're the jealous type, you might have your moments. Or the person you're dating might have moments like those. Especially while dating, you want him/her to only hear what YOU want him/her to hear from you directly because there could be other misunderstandings as well. I see no benefit. Same goes for having work colleagues on there. Just say no. I do love the Book, though and have friends from all walks of life there.

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

Better than Friendster?

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

Is anyone even on Friendster anymore? I have already started getting spam through Friendster from some chick named Karin who is apparently lonely and would like to chat with me. I'll send her your way if you'd like. She sounds really genuine.

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

Yes, please forward. My new year's resolution for 2009 is to befriend the lonely and uplift humanity in the process. she could be my first subject. so to speak. Also, "Karin" with an "i" seems much more continental, so to speak, than "Karen", and I am nothing if not continental in my sensibilities, iykwim.

And all the boys in the band know how to get down.
 

To those who mock me for my love of music by chicks with guitars, watch (and listen to) this and bite me.*

Thank you to Gawker commenter and Tumblr-er KarenUhOh for the reminder.

*What's that? You only mock me for my love of music with literate yet emotionally-intense lyrics sung softly by granola-eating chicks, a/k/a what Flower called something like "Acoustic Estrogen"? Uh, nevermind.

Re: And all the boys in the band know how to get down.
 

So.....as far as chicks with guitars, you think this one compares how with Raitt, Chapman (Tracy) and Tedeschi?

(Uh oh. A female musician thread.)

Re: And all the boys in the band know how to get down.
 

That is a seriously infectious tune.

Good to see you're off that Antigone Rising phase.

We stand just a little too close.
 

Apples, oranges, etc. I don't think that they are directly comparable -- all four are in different musical genres.

That said, I love Bonnie Raitt, like Tracy Chapman, and am not a huge blues fan, so I've heard of Susan Tedeschi, but don't really know much about her stuff.

Translation for Sebby:

Sleater-Kinney approximates AC-DC
Bonnie Raitt approximates the Allman Brothers
Tracy Chapman approximates Harry Chapin (or maybe Cat Stevens)
Susan Tedeschi approximates any band which used The Tower of Power, NTTAWWT

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

Thank you all for the facebook protocol responses.

I am facebook friends with guys I have dated and my ex The OddMan, so it feels weird to only stalk the new man without actually being his friend.

The longer we date, the weirder it feels. Perhaps we need to include a facebook provision in "the conversation."

e/o

Re: We stand just a little too close.
 

I agree with all of this except I would replace "AC-DC" with "The Bangles" or "The Go Go's".

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

Worst scenario, you friend him, you break up and he goes cyber-psycho then you just create a new facebook persona. That's how I ditched Hank on MySpace.

Also, I may know a good source for previously used SSNs, if you are ever in the market.

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

If you don't mean "befriend" and "humanity" literally, the lonely had better buy "protection."

Hush my darling, don't you cry.
 

I should have noted that I was trying to place how I viewed the chick artists within the Sebby Hierarchy of Music. In the SHM, AC-DC is good-time rock and roll, nice hooks, guitar riffs, and fun. Thus, the comparison of SK to them.

And I am a huge fan of both The Bangles and The Go-Go's. In fact, I love The Go-Go’s. I bought Beauty and the Beat (on vinyl, natch) when it was new on the recommendation of The Punk Rock Girl, and she and I saw them in concert a few times. (We both preferred Jane to Belinda, btw.)

That being said, The Bangles and The Go-Go's are a little pop-ier than SK (yes, I am aware of the punk origins of The Go-Go's), so I don't agree with your characterization.

FWIW, in the SHM, I would say that The Go-Go's approximate Triumph. Fight the good fight, indeed, with the magic power.

Re: Hush my darling, don't you cry.
 

"Huge" fan of The Bangles? Good Lord. I am a dinosaur. Sebby, get me a lude and a hit off that apple bong please.

Re: We stand just a little too close.
 

Tracy Chapman doesn't deserve that much contempt.

The Raitt/Allmans thing is heresy.

Re: Hush my darling, don't you cry.
 

Lude? Was that something the kids used to do in the days of Friendster?

Time, time, time; see what's become of me.
 

In my defense, I was a young man, and they were very photogenic. FWIW, I also dug Jami Gertz in "Less Than Zero" (the Bangles did a pretty decent cover of "Hazy Shade of Winter" for the soundtrack).

Re: Hush my darling, don't you cry.
 

Major understatement. I like all 3 bands, but a few songs excepted, SK is wayyyyy heavier than The Bangles or The Go-Gos. Almost another genre altogether. And, though it doesn't show in the song you linked, Janet Weiss (sp?) is one bad-ass drummer (and currently playing with Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks).

Re: Time, time, time; see what's become of me.
 

I loved that book. I also loved the movie.

They had very little in common, beyond my love.

(Going Back to Cali is the best song on that soundtrack.)

They get off on '57 Chevys
 

1. Yes, actually she does.


2. Big 2. More like mid-to-late period solo Clapton. Who is Not.God.

Re: They get off on '57 Chevys
 

hank williams the III plays punk?

Re: Hush my darling, don't you cry.
 

Then she'd be among the (few) living bad-ass drummers.

I won't be your Ollie Ramone.
 

Well, that's probably true. And the "huge fan" thing was an overstatement. What can I say? I have Sebby Envy.

Re: They get off on '57 Chevys
 

Sometimes.

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

What is this, FB homecoming? Did someone forget to invite me to the dance on Friday?

Re: And all the boys in the band know how to get down.
 

Dig it.

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

That answers that question.

It is nought good a sleeping hound wake...
 

Someone said "Beetlejuice" three times and Penske showed up. It was all downhill from there.

CDF (good to see you!)

ETA that I see Not Bob's still rocking the re: lines. And it's not even Manic Monday (or F-U Friday).

Re: Congratulations Slave and Catrin!!!
 

I miss Paigow......[sniff]

Re: Time, time, time; see what's become of me.
 

I don't think so.
