Five reasons I'm not cool

Posted over 3 years ago
1) I've heard Sufjan Stevens, the Decemberists, and a few other indie acts that get a lot of support here, and they just don't SING for me. Sorry, I tried, honest.2) I've not yet delved into past inspirations like Billie Holliday and Etta James. I like what I've heard, just been busy catching up with newer stuff.3) I haven't been to a concert since summer 2004. I could go to more, really, it's only 3 hours to Lawrence. No excuses.4) Most of my posts are polls, because I prefer to have you all interact. Apparently, that's not right.5) I'm one of those Christian Republicans that helped Dubya get re-elected. I don't agree with everything he does, I thought the alternative was worse.I could probably come up with more, but I really don't feel like wallowing all night. That's it. I've had my Eeyore moment.

  1. Anonymous says I love your posts Dale. I don't like The Decemberists but I do like Sufjan...although I only have 2 songs by him. MOG just wouldn't be right if you weren't here.

    lemontwist says I agree wholeheartedly with number 1. At least we tried, right? :) Ain't no problem with being uncool in my book. And at least, unlike Eeyore, you don't have a tail that falls off and needs to be constantly reaffixed with hammer and nail. I imagine that'd get painful after awhile.

    Manos says Just because your terribly terribly wrong doesn't mean you're not cool. I'm wrong most of the time and I'm..oh, wait, I'm not cool either.

    Dale says Darn it, here I am, competing with PIMP for most unlikeable post, and two others like it. I'm out of ideas. :) Notice that you've never seen a full-body shot of me, lemon. ;) And Amy, I love your ... well, I just love you, I guess. <3

    Dale says Cancer/Leo cusp, but I think the stress of this week might have brought out my Cancer side. Not that I put any stock in astrology. So, what kind of laptop?

    Dale says Doggone it, I was half expecting a full-on hatefest, and this is what I get? If this were another social network site COUGHmyspaceCOUGH I'd have flamers lined up a mile away. I still don't feel cool, but I sppreciate the kind words anyway.

    that1guy says I could hate on you, but I got nothing and your cool so... I guess I'm S.O.L. If you wanna talk uncool, we should chat sometime. I just got an advance copy of Winger's new album.

    Anna says Dale you pissed me off.In a good way. Who the f*ck cares?What is ''cool''?Who defines it?Do we all agree with one definition?Who decides if you are cool? I don't want you to worry about shallow labels. In the name of Alex Kapranos,Brian Molko and Tom Meighan I coat you cool. What I say goes,I'm putting my foot down,I've said my piece,I'm the man of the house,I'm wearing the panties ;P

    LambCurry666 says It's about music here, for the most part, and a chance for people like me to see that there is at least one 2-time Bush voting Christian Republican that is not a total douchebag, however I am not holding out much hope that there are many more of you (and I would love to get you in a room and argue with you). I like Suf and Decemberists A LOT, but difference of opinion and debate is excellent and welcome and there are much-loved artists that we can all say we don't get. Right on with the new music thing, there is more than enough good music coming out every month. I like polls. <---It felt weird to say that for some reason.

    angeldawn says Hey Dale, we Kansans have to convince the rest of the world there's more to us than the Wizard of Oz and creationism! We're all uncool in our own way and our unique coolness shines through in other ways. But without MOG, how would you have ever known that you don't like Sufjan but you're giving Placebo a shot. I just added The Long Blondes to my listen list because I saw it on your page. They better be cool ; - >

    aedjp says My tuppence-worth: 1) That's OK. Try Sufjan's "Romulus" in a certain mood, and something might click - you're an open-minded guy. 2) If I was to attempt to "catch up" with everything that sounded interesting released in the last 50 years, I'd be broke. Sometimes I go into a record store and I just can't decide what I should buy and then walk out feeling stupid. 3) Three hours? you have a family. No justification needed. 4) What's not right about polls? (Actually that's something this site could do with... just had an idea. I wonder if anyone else has thought of this.....) 5) Hey, we've all done things that other peolpe might disagree with. At least, as a Christian, you can believe for forgiveness if voting Republican is a sin. ;)

    chucky says Well, you're alright by me and that HAS to count for something. On your points: I am mostly with you on your first point - I like some Sufjan, but "indie" isn't really my thing. On your second one - you are at least cooler than me because I don't care enough to check those people out. Three - not a big concert goer myself. Four - I like interaction, it's the coolest. Five - someone who decides whether or not another person is cool based on their politics is completely uncool. So - I think you actually proved your coolness. You're slick.

    Dale says It amazes me to no end that people actually read my inane ramblings, especially these, well enough to make a point-by-point rebuttal. Angel, point of order, I liked Placebo before, it was their latest album I hadn't checked out. Darn straight on the Kansas thing tho. aedjp, I will try "Romulus" again, but not this week. I've got a taste for RevCo and KMFDM, and I don't see Sufjan getting through that. Gimme a week. Chucky, I'm not deep enough pull off the "I'll tell you how I'm not cool so you'll think I actually am cool" thing. I'm too old to have access to irony.

    Manos says If you're really needing some myspace-style hate, let me know and I'll have my 15-year-old daughter compose something. Keep in mind it will probably involve a string of indecipherable uppercase letters and the declaration that you are her bitch.

    Dale says Wow, that's flattering that you would bring your children in on this. I'll pass. And we all know now that I'm Anna's, um, female dog. Even got the hat to prove it.
