Carrie Brownstein thinks people who carry cats around on their shoulders in public probably listen to My Chemical Romance. I ... don't know. I like to share, I guess.

I have no Sleater-Kinney related icons, sadly.

1) So...Fall Out Boy fans are those people who carry dogs in their purses, I guess.

2) Crazy people are awesome.

You know that *Pete* would carry Hemmy in his purse if it was big enough, dude. It is a sadness of his life.

For some reason I felt a need to look up Carrie Brownstein on wikipedia right after I found her blog, and along with discovering her major was in sociolinguistics (it makes her even hotter!), the whole story about her being outed to her entire family from a SPIN magazine article about her and her bandmate dating predictably makes me think bandom thoughts. Sigh.

[hobbledehoy.livejournal.com]

shit, sociolinguistics? that means that i probably had classes with her teacher.

cubbie learned, at the evergreen show: that one of them has a dog named toby (but not like you, tobi vail who is right there), who has a dogster.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

When I was at Evergreen, it used to weird me out on a regular basis, all the famous people who had gone there within the last twenty years.

[hobbledehoy.livejournal.com]

well, yeah. this is just more of a sociolinguistics-related spaz.

[mayatawi.livejournal.com]

Oh dude, the Wikipedia thing is AWESOME. They went to Australia to celebrate Corin's graduation! Carrie was still in college! For some reason, that's just like the cutest thing EVER. I am so filled with love for my band now.

GET BACK TOGETHER, DAMMIT. ::sobs::

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*pets you* They have been my favorite band for a really long time, and I don't really see that ever changing. Sigh!

[mayatawi.livejournal.com]

I can TOTALLY OUT-S-K-FAN YOU. Since summer '96, baby! My brother made me buy the S/T album on vinyl, and I fell in love. :D

(...unless you beat me in the fanstakes, in which case I shall slink away with tail between legs, etc.)

[hobbledehoy.livejournal.com]

yeah, we were eleven. you were thirteen?

i didn't get my copy of the hot rock until we were fourteen (because that's when it came out?) but i swear that was my first album but also i swear that i got it in middle school. so that's confusing. unless i was fourteen in middle school. which i don't want to math.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

No, dude, you totally win, it's okay! I didn't get into them until ... 1999? 2000? 9th grade for me, anyway. Dig Me Out was the first album I ever bought without hearing songs on the radio first. It was a religious experience, man.

...Also, they represent 1/3 of all my concert experiences ever?

1) e.g. Ryan Ross? (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v397/janet_carter/hobohasprettyexpensivetaste.jpg?t=1194411935)

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

YES. EXACTLY LIKE THAT.

who knew that biking around my hometown carrying my cat on my shoulders was a cry for attention? I just thought it was fun in nice weather. she had a harness & lead, and was quite content to cruise around with me - if I visited someplace she couldn't enter (grocery store, candy shop, restaurant), she stayed in the front basket until I came out again.

It's not as bad as the woman in North Portland who brings a mini pony with her to the coffee shop, but it still makes me uneasy;


ERICA I KNOW THAT COFFEE SHOP. I HAVE SEEN THAT PONY.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

God, I love Portland sometimes.

[violin-road.livejournal.com]

Fun fact: I read that about twelve times as "Carrie Bradshaw" and I was REALLY CONFUSED.


"Are My Chem in the SitC movie!?"

[violin-road.livejournal.com]

uh self. SatC, okay, way to ... know ... letters.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Honey. That is so many counts of fail.

[violin-road.livejournal.com]

Yeah sometimes I lose at everything ever. *HIDES, distracts you with tinyshinyprecious Panic! boys*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Are you even allowed to do that? Did you give up your distraction rights without your out-of-bandom post?

[violin-road.livejournal.com]

AH, BUT ARE YOU OUT OF BANDOM?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

....TRULY YOU ARE A FORMIDABLE OPPONENT.

[pirateygoodness.livejournal.com]

Um, I did not read that article, but I just thought I'd let you know that I prefer Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco, but I aspire to be one of those people with the cats.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*giggles* I wish you good luck in your quest!

[besquared.livejournal.com]

ohmigosh! is carrie doing a segment for npr? this might be the most exciting thing i've heard all day.

confession: more than anything, i want some old school sleater-kinney fic from around the time when corin and carrie were dating. sigh, too bad i don't have a magical fic monkey at my disposal to write me such things. woe.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

She doesn't seem to be actually doing anything on the radio, but that's where the blog is hosted.

oh GOD I would so be all over that. WANT.
