I really like the disc and i think you may have hit the nail on the head with everything you said. all i can add is that Antichrist television blues is my favorite song. <BR/>Also doesn't everyone love pop-politics. I don't care what hillary, obama, ruby, bush, kerry, etc. have to say about politics and i care even less about what rock stars have to say, well i take that back i probably do care more about what rock stars say.Alex Hersheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05237557420545955693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25501024.post-81651834115209985842007-03-20T10:01:00.000-07:002007-03-20T10:01:00.000-07:00not sure how that happened. happened. happened. h...not sure how that happened. happened. happened. happened.jason shrontzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278890007557878085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25501024.post-75298272435478532902007-03-20T08:04:00.002-07:002007-03-20T08:04:00.002-07:00i knew you were canadian, tim. but, im not sure h...i knew you were canadian, tim. but, im not sure how. the nice thing about canada, and so many other countries, is that people can't critique the way they things, because nobody seems to know anything about them. canada, for example, i could not complain about a single detail. all i know is that healthcare is provided and marijuana is only vaguely legal. and, i think the parliament fits in somewhere. thats the benefit of living in a non-loudmouth country. i mean, a loud country has its benefits, too; i like my country. but i'd also like to live in a quiet country, someday. canada would be great: arcade fire, neil young, avril lavigne...jason shrontzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278890007557878085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25501024.post-18755568319759352662007-03-20T08:04:00.001-07:002007-03-20T08:04:00.001-07:00i knew you were canadian, tim. but, im not sure h...i knew you were canadian, tim. but, im not sure how. the nice thing about canada, and so many other countries, is that people can't critique the way they things, because nobody seems to know anything about them. canada, for example, i could not complain about a single detail. all i know is that healthcare is provided and marijuana is only vaguely legal. and, i think the parliament fits in somewhere. thats the benefit of living in a non-loudmouth country. i mean, a loud country has its benefits, too; i like my country. but i'd also like to live in a quiet country, someday. canada would be great: arcade fire, neil young, avril lavigne...jason shrontzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278890007557878085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25501024.post-11165611598780870162007-03-20T08:04:00.000-07:002007-03-20T08:04:00.000-07:00i knew you were canadian, tim. but, im not sure h...i knew you were canadian, tim. but, im not sure how. the nice thing about canada, and so many other countries, is that people can't critique the way they things, because nobody seems to know anything about them. canada, for example, i could not complain about a single detail. all i know is that healthcare is provided and marijuana is only vaguely legal. and, i think the parliament fits in somewhere. thats the benefit of living in a non-loudmouth country. i mean, a loud country has its benefits, too; i like my country. but i'd also like to live in a quiet country, someday. canada would be great: arcade fire, neil young, avril lavigne...jason shrontzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278890007557878085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25501024.post-59266020300553892432007-03-19T22:17:00.000-07:002007-03-19T22:17:00.000-07:00I have to say that, yes, this is a great post. Mor...I have to say that, yes, this is a great post. More importantly, this is a great album.<BR/><BR/>When I listen to most music these days, I don't usually have time to process the lyrics (due to "chatter"). Most times the "important" things that a band wants to tell me get lost among the other sounds in my life. It was great to hear what Win Butler was actually trying to tell me...I had listened to the album probably 10 times through, but didn't hear the lyric, "Don't wanna to live in America no more" until after reading the post.<BR/><BR/>This is interesting to me as a Canadian living in America, not unlike Mr Butler...I would like to hear why he thinks that, because there are definitely days that I get frustrated with the American mindset. When you are a Canadian living in Canada, when someone in the media or whatever mentions American, you think, "That's me." But when you become a Canadian living in America, you differentiate ("That's them"). I love having that little piece that can look down my nose at American foreign policy or treatment of "the poor" while reveling in my middle-class American lifestyle. (Here's the trick, unless I told you, you wouldn't know I was Canadian -- other immigrants don't have this luxury.)<BR/><BR/>Wow, this comment had NOTHING to do with the album, which is one of my favorite in the avalanche of new music that has come my way (Apples in Stereo, El Perro del Mar, M Ward, Bloc Party, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Decemberists old "Picaresque" - all great).Tim Horsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05683645030579160805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25501024.post-58044923964581811482007-03-15T21:32:00.000-07:002007-03-15T21:32:00.000-07:00jthank you. i admit that i was actually somewhat ...j<BR/>thank you. i admit that i was actually somewhat insecure about it. really, im not being sarcastic. im also, as you may know, often insecure about people interpreting my comments as sarcasm; i've recently learned that anxiety over misinterpretation of text is a common trait post-structuralism theory in literature, though I'm not sure how it is close. but, i did labor a bit over this review, as it was my 1st as a corpser, and i wanted to be very honest, objective, and impress the other corpsers. so, thanks. <BR/>jjason shrontzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278890007557878085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25501024.post-47907964358338862972007-03-15T19:30:00.000-07:002007-03-15T19:30:00.000-07:00ENGLISH NERDS!!!ENGLISH NERDS!!!staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14033619167625241570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25501024.post-26343153729039518152007-03-15T18:35:00.000-07:002007-03-15T18:35:00.000-07:00Jason,This was a pretty great post.

I still haven't sat down and listened - I mean LISTENED - to <I>Neon Bible</I>, though I've loved every single thing I've heard from it. <BR/>Anyway - I'd even think about writing a review of your review, which is a good sign. We ought to be able to write criticism that deserves criticism. Good show.Jason Heronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10378641979235094678noreply@blogger.com
