hahahahaha I was laughing about this until I personally got destroyed.
And aw gard: Once upon a time I worked with a guy who loved loved loved The National and thought I would too once I heard them (naturally he assumed I wouldn't know them). And since he ALSO had a huge crush on me he decided to woo me by playing certain The National songs *at* me every time we worked together -particularly one that had my name in it. Then he would give me the big big sad eyes. Luckily that's about as much as he put into it. But to this day I can't hear The National without feeling whiffs of that old overwhelming urge to jump out of a moving vehicle/ship/lab room.
This summation destroys him pretty good as well, I must say.
@nikkuneko I have had three people send me this article, specifically the Wilco response. I don't even like Wilco. One person CACKLED with glee because he had to call me immediately after sending.
Also, John Moe is hilarious and local to me - we had kids in the same school, and I chatted with him at a taco place once
