I bought this today.

I am seeing them in May.

I am going to kiss Nick Zammuto on the lips if he lets me. I
will ask him if it's okay and if he says no that's okay.

I am listening to it for the first time and the first song
is based on the Tao Te Ching and that is good.

Yes. This great society is going smash.

I love the way they fit the vocal samples to the song. It's
like they found the samples after they wrote the song, but
they didn't.

isn't it 4:40am there?

it never changes to stop is one of those tracks that you
love right away due to its simplicity and become
increasingly worried that you'll soon stop loving it for
that same reason.

Things that are especially good bring out the Fabien in me.

Too bad on this album some of the samples are overly
familiar. One of the nice things about The Books has been
the surprise. I guess they're trying to develop an
idiosyncratic vocabulary and a sense of continuity? Or is it
laziness? Either way the repetition's not winning me over.
:-(

But aside from making me think damn, there's that crow
again, it's very good.

Oh, and the lyric booklet is a BIG MISTAKE. Songs like this
are meant to be deciphered and absorbed osmotically, not
read along with like a teenage death metal addict learning
the hymns of praise to satan.

Put the lyric booklet aside and listen. It's so much better
that way. Put it under a stack of school-books where you
won't find it for months.

haven't gotten it yet, but it has a lyricbook?

that doesn't sound like a great idea. suddenly the lyrics
are then supposed to be understood, they have become
important.

I always liked about The Books how the lyrics were there and
it was great if you caught a line here and there, but there
was no pressure.

I shall have to burn the booklet. BURNLET THE BOOKLET.

I like rreading lyrrics, it gives me something to do when
I'm listening. Huh? Oh shit.

Yeah, and as you catch more and more of the singing and
vocal samples the song comes slowly into focus instead of
*fwap* - here, this is everything we mean to say.
