I'm skipping out of work early to go get the new Mountain Goats album.

[asthmaticeog]

Ask me anything, but don't expect an answer until much, much later, if ever. :P

[JimmyJazz]

1. "album?" "album?" - Okay, here's my question:

Who the hell says, "album" anymore?

[Mojambo]

2. Hell, I still say records. n/t

[asthmaticeog]

3. Just 'cuz it's on a CD doesn't mean it's not an album.

Are photo albums not albums 'cuz they ain't vinyl records?

[JimmyJazz]

4. But, NOBODY calls them albums any longer.

Sheesh! How old ARE you? :P Are you going to play your new aquisition on a hi-fi? <runsaway>

[asthmaticeog]

5. Plenty of people still call them albums.

People who refer to CDs as "records" redline the geezer-meter, though.

And no, I'm not playing it on a hi-fi, what, you think I don't know the hip lingo? I will be playing it on a ghettoblaster.

[johnnie]

7. I say record

It is still a recording..isn't it?

[asthmaticeog]

8. You have a point there.

I guess the true test of the geezer must be calling them Victrola Cylinders. :silly:

[johnnie]

9. Lol..yeah

Typically though, when I say "record" I am usually referring to one track. A song. As in, so in so's new record I heard on the radio sounds pretty good.

[Magrittes Pipe]

16. I call CDs records.

[RandomKoolzip]

17. I thought you called them "friends."

Seeing as that's as close as you'll get.

[Magrittes Pipe]

22. No.

My records hate me. :cry:

[mark414]

14. i call them albums...

;(

[johnnie]

6. I still say album

You young whipper-snapper!

[JimmyJazz]

10. Johnnie: asthmaticeog is on my "bust on him at every opportunity"

list. The list also includes whoisalhedges, wat_tyler and randomkoolzip.

FWIW (and don't tell), I sometimes refer to CD's as albums, too. :P

[asthmaticeog]

11. Wow, I'm keeping some pretty fine company

on your list there. How very flattering! :blush:

[JimmyJazz]

12. Dayum - you weren't supposed to see that!

I thought you'd still be in bed with your headphones on, listening to your new "album."

[asthmaticeog]

13. Nah, it turns out that it sucks.

HUGE disappointment. I've bought every 'Goats album - unheard - within a week of its release for 7 years now, and liked every single one. But this one's a right fuckin' piece o' shit.

[johnnie]

18. Oh..OK

So, the whole gang then? Keep busting chops, that's my motto.


Pretty cool, I'll be seeing asthmaticeog in just a few hours.

[JimmyJazz]

19. Then I am jealous - of him for meeting up with you and of you

for meeting up with him. Have one for me, will ya? :hi:

[johnnie]

20. Will do

It should be a good time.
:hi:

[JimmyJazz]

21. I think you both are probably pretty good at having a good time!

Call it intuition! :silly:

[Beware the Beast Man]

23. I'll be there too-now you should be super jealous.

:D

[JimmyJazz]

24. Dayum! I am super-duper, extra jealous now!

Are you going to take more pictures for me?

[Beware the Beast Man]

25. Yes- but the only person I'm tongue-kissing is Mrs. Beast Man

[JimmyJazz]

27. I'd say that's a good thing!

But, I'll still give you a :hug: and a :* anyway!

[HEyHEY]

26. I do

In fact most people I know do... had he said "record"

[RandomKoolzip]

15. Noice. Hope it's a good 'un.

I lost track of the Darnielle gang after "Full Force Galesburg..."

To me, they'll never top "Itzquintli-Totzli Days," so why continue?

I'm only being half-facetious.
