Most of you guys know this but, Matt, Dan and I used to be in a band together back around the time that the wheel was invented.  What came out of that experience were a) many boxes of CDs that still line my apartments hall ways; b) a plethora of inside jokes that aren’t really funny.  One of those inside jokes was that Matt and I would constantly tell Dan that he was reactionary after he went off on a tangent (see, told you it wasn’t funny).  So after reading his review yesterday I thought I would be funny to reply to him and Matt with “You’re so reactionary, Dan”.  I was in a hurry so I let outlook do that stupid auto fill-in thing for me with the email addresses.  The problem was that my bosses name also happens to be Matt so the auto complete put his email address in the to line instead of Matt B.’s.  Before I could correct this I hit send and off it went.  I get a reply within a few minutes from “Matt”, it reads “was I suppose to be on this.  My good friend just signed this band to his major-ish label.”  The main problems with this situation are:

1. My boss doesn’t know I use Insound servers to host the mp3s from this list.

2. Many of these said mp3s are not suppose to be on public servers.

3. My boss read my friends not so pleasant review of the band that his “good friend” just signed to his label.

Is anyone keeping track of the number emails about me making a complete fool of myself?  Oh wait, its pretty much all of em, right?

Last year Matador put out 2 career-spanning comps of these guys to celebrate their 20th year as recording artists, so when this record came out I was kind of Yo La Tengo’d out and wasn’t too excited about it.  It has since grown on me, but I don’t think I’ll ever be a ‘real’ Yo La Tengo fan at heart.  ‘Im Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass” has to be one of my all time favorite album titles though.
