  I need a snack. Here's something I'm going to listen to for the first time while I type away about it as if it's been something I've known for the last couple of decades. Thank You for Telling Me What I Already Know (2002) This is the one I got in that package I've been blathering about all over several posts on two separate blogs. It's the final album piece of the Love-Cars saga with the same link to a website that hasn't been updated in a decade. So there. The other two were sitting in the folder waiting this moment. This day.  And now that moment has arrived. It feels...I don't know...a bit empty. No wait. That's my belly. I'm going to have a snack. That's what really needs to happen.  

  I bought a really huge Athena melon the other day and cut it up tonight. Now all I can smell while I sit here is the rinds in the trash. It's a bit distracting. I guess I'm going to have to eat some when I'm done. I'm Friends with All Stars (1999) It's Love-Cars again. One thing that comes up when you google "Love-Cars band" is the Wiki page for band member James Diers which quotes the Washington Post as saying "He is known for writing literate, thought-provoking lyrics in a modern indie rock context". I just kind of hope that he's not the one behind his own Wiki.  I'd be too embarrassed to toot my own horn with that kind of quote. But then I tend to avoid provoking too thoughts in my writing here or in my musical compositions.  If people do have them I trust them to keep those to themselves.

  Yeah, It's just me queuing up posts. And it's one of those rare occasions when the heavens congeal and there's posts on both blogs at the same time. Lucky You So anyway. Got packages in the mail. One of them is the reason that this is the stuff coming at you today. Lucky you yet again. Chump Lessons (1998) Love-Cars . They first came to my notice with a song on the second volume of the Twin Town High School Yearbook series that local free weekly City Pages put out yearly for a decade. The song was called " Even The Animals Have Realized That We Are Not Alone In This World" and I quite like it. (I only need one more volume before I start posting that) So today as part of the larger of the two packages the elusive third and final album arrived and they become the subject of what I'm gonna queue up tonight. So here's the first. If you're in need of the late 90s indie rock this may scratch that particular itch in ways you were unaware of being itchy.
