I’ve had a long-running conversation/debate with a bunch of my mates…if you had to spend one night with a man (not that there’s anything wrong with that), which man would it be? Well, I can now unequivocally say that Jim James is my man…that’s how good the My Morning Jacket show was.
The Violent Femmes kicked it like they weren’t 800 years old (c’mon, if you combine their ages it’s close) and did their thing in fine style. They broke out most of the old favorites and gently rocked me to sleep beneath the glittering Chicago skyline. Ahhhhhhhhh…
And at the end of the night, Ben Gibbard didn’t even mind my obscenities…he’s a real stand-up guy.

My choice would always be and will always be Mike Patton.
if i had to spend a night with a man, it would be either tim booth or eric bachmann or john darnielle or ted leo. or zak knudson. 
Is Zak Knudson the drimmer from Oasis?
I’m pretty sure he’s the dude who played the cowbell for Blue Oyster Cult.
No, Zak Knidsen is the drimmer for Oasis. Zak Knudsen is the groupie.
overheard 5 minutes ago:
exZAKtly: YOU’RE NOT FUNNY
arnoldjackson: ha
arnoldjackson: thanks for the endorsement
arnoldjackson: you can go back to having sex with jim james now
and later still:
arnoldjackson: i\’m actually gay - can I choose a woman to spend one night with?
exZAKtly: ummm, sure
arnoldjackson: i choose BEA ARTHUR
I would have to go with Maynard when it comes to sleeping with a guy.
More important, do you guys know anything about this years Lollapalooza lineup yet?
all i have heard for sure is pearl jam. the lineup comes out this week, i think. but i don’t get the lollapalooza thing anyway, especially when the pitchfork lineup is looking so awesome.
and geez these comments are um, depressing?

Sleeping with men, falling asleep, and shouting obscenities at the stage? Sounds like you were way drunk. Sure you weren’t getting group groped backstage at a Turbo Negro concert?
