is it just me, or is that piano in need of tuning?

There's a place in the world for lightweight pop ditties — and I for one am glad Radio Paradise is one of them! {#Bounce}

Hey ortallcowgirl!  You live in Globe, Arizona?  That is just west of the Solitude Tailings pond right?

What kind of mine is that?

With apologies to "Come On, Eileen" — another turgid, pub-closing song.  Gag me.

sometimes "la la la" strikes me as "la la lazy".

or maybe his muse suddenly developed Tourette's and that's the best we can get?

No.  And I don't want to listen of any of them, either.

great stuff Bill. Stopped listening to RP when after a while I been recognizing the tunes (namely that really really long Decemberists song - what's it called? - no I have nothing against Decemberists - but that song is just really really... long) Happy to hear new stuff now!
 
That long Decemberists song is new.  The CD, The Hazards of Love, came out the same month as this Okkervil River CD.

I must admit, I mostly listen to RP in the background and until reading the song comments I never realized that the majority of this song has no lyrics... just la la la's.  Now its going to bother me.

is it over yet?  just shoot me!

what really kills me is that RP played this song on:

Jan 9, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 30,

Feb 3, 11, 13, 16, 17, 19, 23 and then again today,

and the comments, 99 to 1 agree that listeners never want to hear it again.

MAANNNNN!  Do you not have a life that you have soooo much free time that you can actually count how many times Bill plays a son AND actually keep a record of the dates????

OK, so what time on each day did it play and when it was playing was Bill on the web cam snapping his fingers in tune to the music??

Hmmmm?

Bill just said he could do with about 60 seconds less of the la la la'ing.
I totally agree
