- A song is like the valuable hunting knife in that song by Guided By Voices. It's an object of medium weight that makes you feel awesome. You want to hold it in your hand, keep it in your pocket forever, and sometimes stab things with it. I really like songs, so I'm going to talk about them for a little bit. Also I think they deserve a whole day to themselves, so that's what they're gonna get. Also I write songs, and just made my first album, called "Table Manners." It is currently available for purchase on CD Baby.
The latter.

ReplyDeleteit's a good beard.
ReplyDeletebut he's probably more pretentious. is there a long history of cross dressing in folk music? or is that just a part of the "weirdo" and not part of "pretentious?"
I googled "cross-dressing folk music" and got an article called "Reclaiming Jamaica's gay past"
ReplyDeletealso, I've seen better beards. this one is all different-colored and bristly: http://www.rhino.com/rzine/images/Banhart1.jpg
