Chit-Chat Check-In #41: Ever Heard of a Mountain Bike?
0:00 | -1:51 |
Hey bud, your sun-dappled disguise ain’t gonna help you much if you’re lounging in the middle of the trail. Ever heard of a MOUNTAIN BIKE?! I think if I’m afraid of them you should be too.
This guy too! Right in the middle of the road. Insanity!
★★— Just ok. We were looking for a sunset and this is all we could find. Prompt service (as advertised). Still missing something… a few more clouds maybe? Too orange-y? Would still recommend in a pinch.

I got my long lost lyric book in the mail yesterday and was as giddy as a little kid. Thank you!!
Also, just wondering if you could let us know your thoughts about what it meant to be recognized by Michelle Zauner as her favorite songwriter of all time. I mean, that was above and beyond in terms of appreciation. I’ve recently become completely enamored with her work, thanks to your bringing her to our attention, and that level of praise from such a talented soul must be really heartwarming. Watching the two of you together on the Pitchfork livestream was pure delight.
How’s the hip? I hope it’s feeling better.
If you’re looking for a tune to do a cover of, I was recently listening to World Party and thinking how great they are. A cover of Is It Like Today, would be cool to hear. If you’re looking for a more recent artist, I’d love to hear you interpret a Big Thief song. Of course, my request for Killing Moon by Echo and the Bunnymen still stands.
