There are also about forty Bald Sopranos. Actually, I don't know if that's true, but there are a bunch of bald, Female Miis with the initials B.S. who like singing, so I'm going to assume that the are.

Like I kind of said, I wasn't writing for your benefit; I was just going on about whatever because I had the song playing and I didn't want to navigate away from your site. The two are unrelated in almost every way. The only commonality is that they both make ridiculously good music. Liking one has no correlation to liking the other. I would, however, consider my taste pretty eclectic, and from the few songs I've heard, I can guarantee that I'll be sticking that thing in my CD player and hitting repeat until my ears bleed. If I could find a Jonathan Richman CD or convince myself to order one online, I'd do exactly the same thing. I know I'm making things difficult for myself and probably ensuring that Jonathan gets a smaller cut, but there's something I like about going into a shop and physically selecting a disc. If I don't support the dying record store industry, needlessly spending excess time and money, who will? I'm, uh, listening to the song again. Oh, no, I wouldn’t dare compare.

That's pretty impressive -- but yeah, I have had that same experience with Richman, the difference being (I suppose) that I'm addicted to a few more songs than you. (And come on, Jonathan vs. that Serj guy? How can you compare?) Ha!

I haven't heard a single one of those songs. I have an aunt who introduced me to Jonathan through "The Beserkley Years: The Best Of Jonathan Richman And The Modern Lovers" and I ended up getting completely hung up on Ice Cream Man and Abominable Snowman in the Market. They're so good that I just listened to those two songs over and over again. I haven't even heard every song on the CD and I sadly don't have a copy of my own. It's crazy how just a few songs can completely endear you to someone. I've found a few songs for download since, but this is a great reminder of how much I need to buy a CD. I've been listening to New England almost constantly since you posted it, to the point that I'm neglecting other music, like the excellent tunes below it. The only reason I'm writing this rambling message now is so I'll have an excuse to stay on your Website and click on it again and again. Serj Tankian's new album is coming out in a a little under a week, so I'll have a new obsession soon, but until then I'll listen to this forty times a day. I’ll have to take your word for that.

But considering that <i>upstate</i> New York has the same landscape (beautiful mountains, sprawling deciduous forests), climate (summers that make you sweat, winters that make the pipes freeze), and people (farmers and college professors, living together!), let's just say it's "New England-y". The point is that this song is about the part of the country I grew up in, give or take a state, and reminds me of home. Yeah, I know, technically it’s not.
