A job isn’t slavery. <br /><br />At least in slavery the boss had a monetary interest in keeping his slave alive. Slaves cost good money... Yeah it's true... Why do you think they made such a big deal about getting them back?<br /><br />So maybe jobs are more like indentured servitude. They give you just enough to stay alive. At the end of your service you generally get nothing from them and the boss man can treat you much worse than a slave because of the smaller investment in you.EmilMuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08323651773862762876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169849407979145898.post-76306118305371478892011-03-07T17:41:11.072-08:002011-03-07T17:41:11.072-08:00re: bandcamp, I don't know if it's the new...re: bandcamp, I don't know if it's the new myspace.

I personally enjoy when he sings lower with his country-ish twang to it. Not a fan of country myself, but then again, his music isn't country.

I put on the Broadways for the first time in ages this past Friday and thought back to a recent interview with Chris and Toby (that awkward vinyl blog one) and how Chris said that he would never again listen to the first few Lawrence Arms records. I guess it's implied that he would never listen to those Broadways records again either. Anyway, what caught my attention the most was how much Chris's voice has changed since those days. With the Broadways, it took me awhile to pick apart Chris's songs from Dan's. The closest parallel I can think as I sit here diarrheaing in terms of drastic voice change is Jeff Tweedy. The evidence can be found by listening to Uncle Tupelo's No Depression followed by Wilco's latest. Along the way, you could hear the progression. This is akin to Chris's vocal progression. <br /><br />Additionally, I wondered if you ever checked out your old songs. I obviously didn't have to ask or wait very long for an answer. <br /><br />My ueber-important take on your vocal progression? Uh, it's more or less been the same since your Slapstick days. The only records where you sounded noticeably different are on Oh! Calcutta! and Unicornography. Well, I should say that you sound snottier in your Slapstick/Broadways days whereas afterward you started to sound as if Erik Funk and Robby Takac jizzed into your throat, which would of course explain your present vocal timbre.FranklinSteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12991725069217776481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169849407979145898.post-60165843776787457292011-03-07T12:21:21.498-08:002011-03-07T12:21:21.498-08:00Yeah this was a good post.

Your p...I've struggled with this idea recently. Your post came at the perfect timing. I've felt like this for quite awhile. I obviously hate my job (I work at a gas station/convenience store) and often have to stop and remember that I have the power to go out for a smoke break and never come back, I can just keep on walking. BUT, I do choose to stay because I like all the things that it provides me, i.e... money. But I have also started to think about ways to be able to work less. For instance, gardening. If I had my own garden and learned to can and preserve than right there is at least 4-5+ hours per week I wouldn't have to work for food. Or, stealing more music illegally, sure I'd feel bad but I'd still go to shows and buy c.d's and shirts and stickers, etc... I shell out about $40 for merch at every show (when you came to Boston with TLA recently I spent $30 at the merch table both nights, that Toby guy really knows how to sell things!) Also, I always try to take the bands out for drinks (but you snobby musicians always shell out some tired excuse like "Oh, man I'd love to but we have a six hour drive in the morning.", totally lame). And with that free time I could brew my own beer, look at more porn, hang out with my friends, blog about good beer and spend more time pursuing what I really want to do with my life: Open my own brewery!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169849407979145898.post-36816173565968511792011-03-07T08:06:55.471-08:002011-03-07T08:06:55.471-08:00Your post today applies to a lot of things.

I talk with customers at my job that bitch and moan all the time about what they are "forced" to pay for the products/services they use..people seem to forget that they have the option to not buy the pac-man arcade game/latest cell phone/hooker and save their money if they'd rather not shell it out. If we weren't so attached to all the physical junk that seems important to us, we could maybe work a little less or have a little more for the house/family/loved ones important kind of stuff.<br /><br />good post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
