a fitting sacrifice to the gods of rock and roll

i’ve been sitting here semi-quietly, subtley shaking booty, listening to “Folker” on repeat, and praying to the gods of rock and roll that i am able to get tickets to the upcoming concerts. i was thinking of doing a virgin sacrifice to the gods, but i don’t know any virgins. . . and really virgins aren’t so rock and roll.

as soon as i can think of what to sacrifice, i’ll let you know. i’m open to ideas. if i don’t get to these st. paul westerberg concerts i will simply DIE. DIE! did you hear me, DIE. you don’t want me to die, do you?

Maybe in this case it should be a “virgin” copy of Folker?

Sacrificing a virgin was to give up something very valuable (a fertile young unspoiled woman) to the gods in exchange for fertile soil, a good harvest, etc. Not every virgin was sacrificed, only one a season.

So, following the analogy, sacrificing a virgin copy of “Folker” might just be the gift the gods of rock and/or roll might be looking for in exchange for granting you your other wish.

Things I Want to Tell You

I can't seem to stop listening to The Juliana Hatfield Three album "Become What You Are." I can't decide if it's because I am feeling nostalgic or because it's really fucking good. [+]

Today is Christa's Birthday. I think she just might be my most favorite person I've never met yet. Which is saying a lot. Because I like a lot of people I haven't met yet including but not limited to: Largehearted Boy, UH, Michelle Obama, Mike Doughty, and everyone who ever appeared on Dawson's Creek. [+]

Can't stop listening to "Who Were You Were Thinking Of" by Jeff Tweedy. Sing it with me, "who were you thinking of when we were making love last night? Was it a good-looking stranger or a close friend of mine. . ." [+]

You would think that if they were getting straight As they'd know the damn difference between loose and lose. GAH! [+]
