...right. As the title says, please tell me the titles of some good non-single Stones songs I should download. Bonus points if they're 20+ years old.

Under my Thumb if that's not a single, or even if it is. I like just about anything from Aftermath: Stupid Girl, Lady Jane, Doncha Bother Me, Think, Flight 505, High and Dry, It's Not Easy, I Am Waiting, and Going Home. Same for 12 X 5: Around and Around, Confessin' the Blues, Empty Heart, Time Is on My Side, Good Times Bad Times, It's All over Now, 2120 South Michigan Avenue, Under the Boardwalk, Congratulations, Grown up Wrong, If You Need Me, and Susie-Q. That's probably a lot. If I had them with me, I'd listen and try to narrow it down. *Monkey Man* from Let it Bleed is a must, in my opinion. I also like their cover of *Just my Imagination* which is nothing if not amusing.

Thanks, babe!

Why do my thoughts loom so large on me? They seem to stay, for day after day And won't disappear, I've tried every way But she smiled sweetly She smiled sweetly She smiled sweetly And says don't worry Oh, no no no Where does she hide it inside of her? That keeps her peace most every day And won't disappear, my hair's turning grey But she smiled sweetly She smiled sweetly She smiled sweetly And says don't worry Oh, no no no "There's nothing in why or when There's no use trying, you're here Begging again, and ov'r again" That's what she said so softly I understood for once in my life And feeling good most all of the time But she smiled sweetly She smiled sweetly She smiled sweetly And said don't worry Oh, no no no Oh, no no no Oh, no no no

spider, have you heard the decemberists yet? i've decided to like them.

tell me about Netflix dave. I've read their website, and can't believe that it works.

it really works great. i live about 20 miles from their distribution center so we get really fast turnaround. they have a pretty decent inventory. you browse the selections, put a bunch of shit in your queue, prioritize it and they mail it to you 3 at a time. you can hang on to any or all of them as long as you want, no late charges. they provide a postage paid return mailer so when you're done, you put them in the mail and they send out the next dvds in your queue. about 20 bucks a month. not sure how the international mail thing works, if it costs more or takes longer. if you normally spend more than 20 bucks a month on dvd rentals, this is the shit.

I haven't heard the decemberists, but I have decided to see them tomorrow night. one must do something on new year's eve. what's on your netflix list, dave? mine: The Stunt Man Ciao! Manhattan The Grifters Easy Rider Meatballs The Complete Monterey Pop Festival: Disc 3 The Graduate Ziggy Stardust & the Spiders: The Movie Bob Dylan: Don't Look Back Britannia Hospital My Best Fiend: Klaus Kinski L.A.

I'm the one that signed up for it! Dave gets all the credit, damn him. Plus, he erased all of my movies when I went on vacation and replaced them with his own. Grrr.

nyaah! i got: The Virgin Suicides Mr. Show: Season 1 David Cross: Let America Laugh Rushmore Bowling for Columbine Mr. Show: Season 2 Keep the River on Your Right Mr. Show: Season 3: Disc 1 Mr. Show: Season 3: Disc 2 a little david cross obsession? i keep my queue rather spartan. agatha's gonna be all, "whose queue?!" i don't want to go to this party on new years eve. how did i become so fucking cloistered and uptight? enjoy the show, c. i hear they're damn good live. report back.

You can find one of the Decemberists' videos on that Yahoo Launch site. I watched it (it's focused on images of WWI), and decided I didn't like them. The song sounds like a Neutral Milk Hotel song, only without the creativity and innovation. Plus, I was disturbed by the idea of making a video about WWI. I do like British Sea Power, though. I'm in Boston now and will be going to First Night events this evening.

yeah, that's from their second album. it kinda tries too hard. the first album is much better. all the reviews mention neutral milk hotel, too. i never paid attention to them, probably because they have such a dumb name. the decemberists' whole thing is to evoke a feeling of history by using traditional folksy instruments and anachronistic words and phrasings, but they also use words like frigidaire and several songs employ a hammond b3. sort of a procol harum meets al stewart meets robyn hitchcock meets they might be giants. at a party at neutral milk hotel's house apparently, although i can't vouch for that. bsp. i dunno. . .

See, when you say things like that, I want to like them...but their actual music is so dull. Or at least what songs I've heard. Neutral Milk Hotel (are? is? were? was?) part of the Elephant 6 band collective, and they've all got those weird names (Olivia Tremor Control, Apples in Stereo, Of Montreal...). Make of this what you will. Anyway, I would imagine the biggest hurdle to enjoying them is the singer's voice, but once you get past that, you'll find gold. "In the Aeroplane over the Sea" has a lot of songs about or inspired by Anne Frank. They use a lot of strange instruments, including some they've invented themselves, plus stuff like singing saws, etc.

I hate the Decemberists enough to say "I hate the shit out of them" well actually, they're tolerable after a minute. The one on Launch "the soldiering life" gets good near the end. However, still, whenever I hear the opening parts of any of their songs, I just cringe. its their singer. he's fuckingawful. Ditto the Fiery Furnaces. Great band if they had a different singer.

thanks for the netflix info, davey-poo. what do they do if you never send the movies back? is your $20 like a deposit? so 3 DVDs for $20 if you never send them back? ah, i'm dumb. you musnt rent 'Let America Laugh', you must BUY! David Cross, I'd have his babies. Except they might inherit his freaky-ass chest hair. Bad thing, that. I couldn't believe that in Run Ronnie Run they put fake chest hair on him to make him look normal. It's one of the first things i noticed. tonight i try to prepare margaritas.

"its their singer. he's fuckingawful" but, dude . . . you like the darkness. they're the anti-decemberists. wisper, the contract states they get to come over and harvest your organs while you sleep or something. so don't try it. no, i guess you could do that but they'll bill you another 20 bucks the next month for the same 3 disks. i think that, no matter how you look at it, you only get 3 dvds to lose or keep before they either drop you or you pay them for their loss?

"you like the darkness. they're the anti-decemberists. " I like all kinds of crazy crap...

yeah, me too.

try this and this. if you still hate it or think they're ripping off some other thing . . . okey dokey. i mean, you know, it's not like the most amazing thing ever but it doesn't suck. i can't believe i'm even bothering to defend it to such an extent. i found some neutral milk hotel and really wasn't super blown away. folks on message boards seem to like one or the other, usually whichever they heard first. have you heard hella?

the margaritas sucked ass. I can't forgive such a waste of limeade. Precious, god-sent limeade. I'm never going to drink again, i think. I know i only drink on New Years anyway, but i think i'm done with that. I can barely get through half a glass of anything before the alcohol taste overcomes me. Next time i feel like being not sober i'll just get high. It's so much easier/faster/cheaper. yup

Mmmm. Limeade. . There's a weird little place on campus that sells hot juice drinks. One of them has lime and ginger and some other stuff. They say I'm basically the only person who gets it.

Hot lime and ginger? That sounds really good. Every once in a while I'll get a little bottle of ginger cider. Yummy.

i totally like the fiery furnaces' vocals.

rowlfe, you really don't like the fiery furnaces' vocals? i like it a lot. i like everything about it.

Mmmm. Limeade

fiery furnaces' vocals? fiery furnaces' vocals? fiery furnaces' vocals? fiery furnaces' vocals? fiery furnaces' vocals? sqwaaak sqwaaak sqwaaak? sqwaaak sqwaaak sqwaaak? i'm so fucking irritating.

So, who wants to be my Netflix friend? You should know that I tend to go on jags of watching three or four seasons of a particular television show in a row. Email if'n you want. Nate- I'ma email you about the website tonight or tomorrow. I've got some questions. Rolling Stones song of the moment: Dead Flowers

what is the function of a netflix "friend"? stones tunes: moonlight mile i just want to see his face worried about you soul survivor fingerprint file memo from turner dancing with mr. d connection let it loose (another vote for) salt of the earth (another vote for) pretty much all of "aftermath"

I didn't know Dave/Agatha were into Netflix THREE years ago! Y'all are the Netflix OGs. I heart Netflix. I'd be your friend, Agatha, but I don't want anyone to see the embarrassing things in my queue. Like Dark Angel. (Shut up, mockers! My TV boyfriend is in that and he is beautiful and good.)

My netflix queue is messed up. I go through phases and then I change everything around.

dark angel rules.

gimme shelter. did anyone see the movie "layer cake"?

Kazu... (Dare I admit this in public?) OK, Kazu, I'm admiting to using Excel (only once in a while! when I have, like, 6 Paul Newman movies lined up in a row and need to mix things up) to organize my queue.

You absolutely don't have to be embarrassed. You should see some of the stuff in mine. I don't judge, yo.

I know it's a hit, but I can't believe nobody's mentioned "Shattered." I always picture my oldest sister singing when I hear it.

"You Can't Always Get What You Want," is awesome. Having not known many of the Stones' non-Satisfaction songs growing up, I'm learning about them now. This one is fucking brilliant.

i have officially lost my last stones cd - "let it bleed" with "...can't always get..." on it. sister morphine you gotta move lately i've had captain beefheart's "my head is my only house unless it rains" running through my head.

Spider, my friend Bernie composed some music they used on Dark Angel. I don't know what episodes though.

I want some Netflix friends too.
