this song is so great. i always forget about this band when i think of bands i really enjoy all the time. not sure why that is. i tried my damndest to find an MP3 of the normal version but i couldnt. so, here is a link to a live one. when i’m home later i may just upload the album version. thats how good it is, it needs TWO posts… for serious.

this really happened on gChat today...
i, dan maxwell, played the character of "dan" in the following debate.
[the set up: gram parsons--was he as important to music as everyone seems to think he is? i made a disparaging comment about his nudie suits and dan defended him, although he admitted to having NOT finished reading his bio...]
me: i bet he'll redeem himself towards the end
Dan: i doubt he'll redeem anything towards the end. unless by redeem you mean get burned to a crisp in the desert haha
me: i was thinking more like he becomes one of those Force ghosts like yoda and obi wan in star wars
you know, like darth vader?
Dan: totally. he's like the emporer palpatine and jeff tweedy is like luke skywalker and jay farar is like darth vader
me: NO
you clearly have NO idea of the parallels you're NOT making
obviously jay farar is palpatine
becasue he's not forgiven at the end
DUH
darth vader realizes his mistakes at the end of return of the jedi
thats why he joins up with yoda and obi wan
hes watching over luke now
jesus
do i have to explain everything to you
Dan: hahaha so gram is darth?
me: yeah
because he made mistakes but ultimately is a heroic character
Dan: question. is keith richards yoda?
me: ...and now there's the issue of ben gibbard
he's obviously jar jar binks
YES
Dan: he is obviously darth maul
hahahahahahahaha
jar ja rbinks

what a noob
Dan: or he is younf anniken
young*
me: no annakin is darth vader
you know that
who is samuel l jackson
thats all i want to know
Dan: i know
samuel l is obviously mick
friends with yoda
me: i could see mick being a young obi wan
Dan: totally bad ass
me: you know?
Dan: likes purple

Dan: or clarence white but he died young so he's more like qui gon gin
hahaha

me: our conversation is obviously not inclined to reality so i think we can fudge the dates a little bit
Dan: ok thats fair

hey beatles nuts...
shut the fuck up. thanks. no one cares about how many times you’ve watched anthology or that you had a shoebox full of beatles bubblegum trading cards. leave me alone. i know they were important. you didn’t discover shit by being a hermit and living in your mother’s basement ‘til you were 47. get a fucking life.
thanks
dan
