Playing It Still Moves in the store the for the third consecutive day. Every time I play it in here, everybody that wanders in eventually asks me what's playing.
I'm just confused that people going to a record store don't know what It Still Moves sounds like.

You'd be surprised at how many people don't give MMJ's earlier stuff a chance because they associate them with their post-Z albums and the frattier fans they draw. Of course everyone on a message board like this knows MMJ pretty well because we're all live music fanatics, but their reputation for their recorded output is markedly different from their reputation as a live band. And while most of the people that come into the record store are really into music, not all of them are as into live music.
In other words, I think MMJ's reputation for a lot of music lovers is quite a bit different than it is here or in other circles of live music fanatics. So many of them haven't even given ISM or the first two albums a chance.
I don't deny it, I've never listened to a complete MMJ album, and would for sure be one of the people that wouldn't know who it was. I also don't think im a slouch when it comes to music knowledge, they're just a band that really has never grabbed me.
edit/ and yes, I do frequent my local record store.
I'll admit: I absolutely HATED (yes, hated!) MMJ when I first heard them. I think I got ISM as a CD-of-the-month from BMG ("good ol' days" reference!) and skimmed through each song, utterly unimpressed.
Granted, at the time I was into mostly UK artists (Radiohead, Elbow, Damien Rice, etc.) so the whole "bearded southern rock" sound grated on my last nerve and ISM sat neglected in my entertainment center collecting dust. Until...
...I heard "Gideon" and wondered who the hell that band was & bought the CD. Still, I only really listened to that song because nothing else on the album really "grabbed" me. It still didn't move me. Until...
...I heard "Touch Me" when Evil Urges came out. *THEN* I was hooked.
It's amazing how one song can change your mind about a band! Seeing them live the first time completely blew me away. Now I see them at least 4-5x/year, and NONE of their CDs ever gathers dust on my shelves anymore. ;D
So yeah, I can understand how some people - even indie music aficionados like me - wouldn't immediately recognize a band they should absolutely know & be enjoying live as much as possible if they truly love great music performed by talented musicians. Kyle's doing these sad souls a huge service by steering them to the light and helping them see the error of their musical-listening ways. Kudos to Hipster Thor!

Newbury in NoHo?
Turn It Up! in Noho, and Platterpus in Easthampton
Turn It Up! in Noho, and Platterpus in Easthampton
I think I went to Turn It Up once. Mostly used, right?
Yeah they specialize in used cd's and vinyl. You have to inspect the record before you buy it, but you can find some real gems. They're hard to find sometimes since they're in a basement, with awful stairs.
and yes, Platterpus is a great name. It's a pretty funky little place too.
I don't have vinyl or a turntable. I feel behind on the game.
Except I got one 7" from Tallest Man on Earth, got it at Grimey's on a release party.
Good ol CD for me, which is why I usually do Newbury. Turn It Up seems like Jelly's in Worcester - great if you like a niche genre they specialize. But hit and miss on everything else.

conversation had with a friend this morning regarding the idiocy of an overheard convo at work:
me: how do people get through life being that stupid? Friend: they are too stupid to realize that they are the sad part is, they are happier than the rest of us because they don't realize they are also dumber me: isn't it a cruel joke of nature. Friend: most definitely

I had an awesome avatar idea that I was going to change to after the BB premiere, but I forgot what it was. Also, seeing that thread with new messages and not being able to look in it due to not watching the episode yet makes me sad.

Most everyone thinks we're a little weird, when in fact...
We're smarter. (ave IQ of 140 or higher; more lefties in MENSA than our right-handed counterparts. Famous brilliant southpaw minds include: Aristotle, Marie Curie, Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, and Bobby Fisher, just to name a few.)
We're more creative.(Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Beethoven, Mozart, Picasso, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Sting, Robert Plant, Paul Simon, Billy Corgan, Douglas Adams, Mark Twain, and many more.)
We're more powerful. (Bill Gates & Oprah are southpaws; 5 of the last 7 U.S. presidents - and the last 3 in a row - have been lefties!)
Hey Dave, don't worry about Knoxville and it's inhabitants anymore.
One user described it this way: “On coke, you might see a group of girls and decide, ‘I’m the man,’ and go talk to them. On Amped you’d think, ‘Hey, I should work my dick up and go show it to them.’”

woah.
In all fairness, that's a Roanoke thing and not an Amped thing.
