And not just for the obvious reasons.<BR/><BR/>Also, Robert Olen Butler's Mr. Spaceman and Eric Clapton's Unplugged, because both were urine puddles made by men who should have hung it up long long ago, and because readers/listeners applauded them for wetting themselves.<BR/><BR/>Fun game.<BR/><BR/>Mary, Bridget Jones + Counting Crows = genius.

I knew you'd find a way to somehow bring it around to books in the end.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to pair Helen Fielding's <I>Bridget Jones's Diary</I> with the Counting Crows's <I>August and Everything After</I>, as both are guilty pleasures that involve navel-gazing, injured young women, and whining.<BR/><BR/>And also Larry Brown's <I>Big Bad Love</I> and Wilco's <I>Being There</I> because I was listening to the latter around the same time I was reading the former, and they go together pretty well.mary_mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18271776145478019619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21654824.post-85969860360954530072008-06-18T20:04:00.000-07:002008-06-18T20:04:00.000-07:00Ang, I think I love you.Ang, I think I love you.Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392485598731995230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21654824.post-36400088647345745932008-06-18T18:34:00.000-07:002008-06-18T18:34:00.000-07:00I'm going to pair Grisham's "The Firm" with Sheryl...I'm going to pair Grisham's "The Firm" with Sheryl Crow's "All I Wanna Do" because they are both vapid fucking shams that people still seem to think somehow transcend the pop genre, becoming something truly great, rather than the huge steaming piles they actually continue to be.Anghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00284339558689510637noreply@blogger.com
