I enjoy this version but the original Bonnie Raitt version is pretty fantastic, too.
Yeah, I was just Youtube-ing my life away this past weekend and re-discovered this. I was trying to show this girl I'm friends with what I would consider "great modern music" since she feels it doesn't exist. I won her over with this video.
I'm not a huge fan of Bon Iver (they're ok, I just don't understand the hype) but this song made me cry the first time I heard it.
I remember reading an interview with Melissa Etheridge a few years ago and the interviewer asked what other performer's song she wished she would have written and she said this one. Spot on.

No offense to your friend, I'm sure they're a lovely person, but I hate people like that. There's so much of everything put out there that some of it is always bound to be good, forever. There will always be good media, good food, good athletes. Its just numbers.

Screw my friend, she's an idiot. I love classic rock and old music, I definitely listen to it more than I do new stuff, but I agree. You can't close yourself off to new music because you've talked yourself into hating anything new because it can't compare to (insert legendary 60s/70s era band/performer).

The interesting part to me is watching who becomes legendary. If someone had told 11 year old me listening to "License to Ill" that the Beasties were going to be huge someday I would have laughed. I remember when Dookie by Green Day came out and it is the same thing, I thought there were tons of better modern bands than them, but they sure did survive.
Or of course there was HORDE 93 with Phish and DMB having small daytime slots, and Panic pre headlining for Blues Traveller. The only recent band I can think of that will definitely be considered a future legend imo is LCD.

This was one of my first 5ish CDs and I LOVED it. (I don't really want to admit to some of the others, however)
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

So I was listening to the Jason Ellis show on the satellite radio, and they had Rob Corddry as a guest. They were having him do different soundbites that they could later use on the show. One was "I don't listen to Neutral Milk Hotel. I masturbate to them." I instantly thought of certain people on this board. You know who you are.
Also, I went to the Food City. They have a huge American flag flying outside of the store. i noticed today that it is oddly sewn, i.e. the lowest white stripe shrinks to nothing about 2/3 of the way out. I don't know if this has to do with the size of it and it being outside, but I watched it for like 3 or 4 minutes, so I know it wasn't just a trick on my eyes. Any ideas why it's like that?

I think Jack White is a future legend. MMJ too.
I will give you Jack, though I think he might go down more as a legendary producer. MMJ might make it, but there are lots of bands that were just as popular as they are now who didn't. Give them three or four more years growing at the pace they have kept up though and I think they will be a lock.
So two ex-coworkers of mine who im friends with on FB starting banging a few months ago. Well poof she gets pregnant. Pretty funny actually cause she's a little out there and he looks like spongebob squarehead. Well anyways, obv they have a shotgun wedding in Gatlinburg. It wasnt until she posted her wedding photos tonight on facebook that I saw how serious that statement was. I'm dying right now!

I can't imagine that seriously happening in 2012 in America.
But then again, you are in the Bible belt. Freaking hilarious.

Sorry to say this but aslo Kings Of Leon played mid-daytime sets in 2007-2008 and now they headline every festival.

They have picked up a lot of detractors as well. Twenty five years from now they are going to be just another footnote in a rock and roll book in my opinion. Think about how popular Oasis used to be.

almost peed my pants at this. Trying to think what music would be the soundtrack in the background...Dixie Chicks "white trash wedding" maybe?
As for the breakup music - I can ditto most of what is up there, but there are 2 songs that I would like to mention:
1) Mumford and Sons - The Cave (an obvious choice, but it won't actually effect you until you are ready to connect with it - and sometimes that takes a while. I connected with that a year and a half after the breakup and was finally free) 2) James Blunt - Goodbye Lover (I will never admit to this song making me cry. ever. I don't cry because men don't have feelings.)
I want to take a minute to talk about these awesome points. Now, when I joined, and up until about 2 weeks ago I really didn't care about them. Girls have more, because girls give them to each other and boys give them to girls. Girls don't give them to boys nearly as much as vice-versa. So girls awesome counts (as a whole, a generality if you will) are higher. Cool. Makes sense.
I had gotten a few fridays from time to time, and was at 8 points at one point. Then apparently I pissed someone off. Since then my points have drained to 0. After that, they went up to 4 (I think I know why they did but it is irrelevant to this conversation) and now they are draining again.
I have to think it is one person that I ticked off somewhere along the way and is sending me mondays whenever they think about it.
Again, these awesome points REALLY don't matter. But if I bothered someone, it would be nice if they would just sack up and inbox me, or blast me publicly. Its just chicken-shyt to monday me like every day or a few times a day.
I say something that you don't like? Give me a monday. Good. Fine. Whatever.
But this is just juvenile.
I realize that this post could have backlash, and I will probably end up with -8923479383274 before the end of the week and that's fine.
I am not posting this to beg for fridays either. they reallllllllllly don't matter. What does matter is whoever is doing it I wish they would just speak up. Inbox me. Whatever. Be a good old fashioned grown up.
