Who the hell dubs over songs with their own lyrics? Seriously what the fuck is wrong with you?

i still don't understand why people have a problem with on the road, or kerouac in general.

duh. it's a wanky book and people who name-drop it in songs are full-on wankmeisters. i have now used goldwave to dub the words "christopher robin" over "sal paradise". it doesn't scan so well but it saves me from being overwhelmed by self-loathing every time i listen to it. i'm thinking of replacing the john berryman reference with "pg wodehouse" too.

Sal Paradise is the main character in "on the road" by Jack Kerouac. The first line is just right.

This is one great band. Lots of references to "On the road" by Jack Kerouac here.

"He loved the Golden Gophers, but he hated the dawn-out winters." This makes me miss Minneapolis, the Washington Ave. Bridge, and my Golden Gophers!

The Replacements reference at the end is just gold. I only picked up on it the other day. "These Twin Cities kisses Sound like clicks and hisses. We all tumbled down and Drowned in the Mississippi River." The Mats walked into their recording studio one time, grabbed a box full of demo tapes and threw them all into the Mississippi River.

Nope -- John Berryman committed suicide by jumping into the Mississippi River, that's what the song is referring to.

this song is maybe perfect. "She likes the warm feeling but she’s tired of all the dehydration. Most nights are crystal clear, but tonight it’s like it’s stuck between stations on the radio." How often we all feel like that. =)

i listen to this band; seen 'em live, actually (though i was there for the opener), and like 'em. but they're still lacking something i can't place to put them in my favourites. is it that they're good, but nothing different? who knows.

This is one of my all-time favorites by THS. I will never go across the Washington Avenue bridge again without thinking of this song.
