ch-ch-chain... chain of events, or, the human serviette, or, not exactly something to listen to, but kind of, in a way
1. The family was in town today for Mother's Day brunching.
2. The brother wanted to look for records, so naturally I took the gang over to Somethin' Else.
3. The moms and the brother grubbed through the bins for Sun Ra records, pausing only to examine the Freddie Hubbard vinyl (how I managed to come from such a decidedly rock-averse family, I will never know).
4. I happened to notice a Sonics record in the S bin. "Oh, the Sonics," I thought to myself. "I don't have any of their records. I should plunder the internet for them later."
5. The family left a half hour ago and I sat down to do the plundering. For some reason when I typed the word "Sonics" into PlunderWire, the word "serviette" popped into my head. I mulled this for a while (downloading from 3 hosts) and mulled (clear inactive) and mulled and then I realized the connection between the words "Sonics" and "serviette." Like, duh!
6. Nardwuar.

true that. & obviously they inspire to dispense entirely with long-windedness.
Your mom is a Sun Ra fan?!?!
yes. sonics awesome.
and yes, the moms is mildly obsessed with sun ra. my brother has had way more influence on her musical taste than I have. weird that she will watch the arkestra videos for hours, but can't handle sonic youth.
nick said that your family has 'very hip taste.' hah.
I'm not quite sure I follow the link between The Sonics and The Human Serviette that is Nardwuar... But I am intrigued...
nardwuar is extremely obsessed with the sonics, and often brings them up in his interviews.
