Thank God things are so much more savory north of down here.

I know, Dave, PA is one of the most redneck places in the country. But that Cynics album is pretty rockin'. I got it because I liked what I heard on The Cherry Blossom Clinic, and didn't realize that it was the band of the Spike-sounding guy from Pittsburgh.

there's a reason we call it Pennsyltucky
i know, all of my mother's side of the family is all from the York, PA area. anyone familiar with that part of the country understands why thats not a good thing to be related to necessarily
-
I liked his "tilting at windmills" aside
I am sure he means well
he seems like a decent sort, don't take the Dixie bashing to heart.

Ah, I always considered Pennsyltucky to be anywhere west of York, Philly, etc.

yeah, you're right. I was kind of lumping all of pennsylvania together

i thought it kind of presumptuous of him to call himself an east coast guy being from pittsburgh. i like pittsburgh, but i always considered it a marginally eastern city that straddled the border of the rust belt and appalachia.

South Rules
North Drools

not to pile on the cynics guy - cause i'm sure he was just trying to be entertaining for the radio and all - but the whole "east coast snob" thing is incredibly lame. i feel the same way about the people of my fair philadelphiatown and their confused "hatred" of new jersey - a place they know, at best, by just passing through or they've traveled to via the most popular form of transport these days: television..
no one place "rules" any more than another is all lame (got that from mike watt) - which means you could learn a lot from anywhere you visit if you're open enough. to say you don't like the south (which is a HUGE area to dislike by the way) just strikes me as a little too broad of a generalization to even be taken seriously. it amazing to physically put yourself in a place you only know from still images and stereotypes and experience another dimension of it - an actual dimension of it - firsthand.
maybe the cynic will give it a try sometime.
-
wait a second. Are you trying to tell me that the South doesn't rule?
-
Pittsburgh is in no way an east-coast city. It has the feel of midwest, most of the people won't touch seafood, and you're 7 hours away from a decent beach. Any place that considers a lake "the beach" is not a coastal city.
-
It's Rust Belt, yo.
I don't know why I wrote that like that. But seriously, don't let Michael's annoying sentiments stop you form listening to that Cynics record. It really is awesome.
-
When I lived in Pittsburgh, I don't remember anyone calling it an East Coast affair. Certainly more "East Coast" then Ohio, which was where all the rivalry was focused. I think Pittsburgh always considered itself it's own animal, outside of the whole East/West mentality and just took pride in being an underrated blue collar city... an "us vs them" mentality that's the foundation of a really sturdy militia.
Christ, you should watch them get heated up when you talk about Columbus.
That guy from the cynics has the thickest Pittsburgh accent I've heard in a while. I love it.

inasmuch as no one place does - yes.

What's that James Carville quote about Pennsylvania? Something along the lines that it's Pittsburgh and Philadelphia on either side with Alabama in between. I pretty much have to agree with that sentiment.
Yes, Pennsylvania....nothing at all like my own hometown, the cosmopolitan hub of culture and intellect that is Buffalo, NY.
Wait, whaaaaaaaat?

Oh man, great tag.
I was at a party once and this guy picked a fight with my roommate. When we told him to get the hell out there, he started shouting about how you don't want to mess with his posse from Carnagie (a suburb located 30 min. outside the city). He pulled up his shirt and shouted "'Negie, muthafucka!"
And sure enough, he had a 'thug life' style tattoo on his stomach in caligraphy that read 'Negie .
Pronounced 'Nay-gie'

I would say that in the grand quantitative scheme of geographic ranking that the midwest, south, and west all beat out the east coast for the sole reason that more people in THOSE regions acknowledge that part of their existence/region is lame. The eastern seaboard from Boston down through NYC is in need of a serious humility check.
-
I'm just now listening to the podcast, so I'm unsure if he called back later in the show, but I doubt it because I'm envisioning him and Henry never realizing they got hung up on and still on the phone with each other almost two days later. Having those two on the phone simultaneously was an amazing convergence of blabbermouthery.

Waah waah waah. Waah-waah, waa-waa-wa-wa-waah, wa-wah-wah wah-wa-wa-wa-waaaah.
Is that the opening riff from "Army Bound?"

I wish. No - I just originally put all the "bloopitty-bloo" stuff inside the quoted zone by accident. Serves me right - you know I love ya!
-
Ditto, TL. Though I wish I had proved my devotion by picking a deeper cut. Tomorrow my eMusic account rolls over, so maybe I'll dive in and get one of those early records with the experimental noise dub, or whatever it was that got those eMusic trolls so irate.

Oh yeah - violent reactions to that one. I've got some good stories...
-
I'd like to hear 'em!
Also, I meant to say that "Army Bound" has actually always struck me as more of a bum-bum-bum song than a wah-wah-wah song. Not to get all technical on everybody.
-
more of a bum-bum-bum song
I am mature enough that this did not make me giggle even a little bit.
Seriously.
For real.

I'm so old I didn't even notice the opportunity for a chuckle.

Yes. Those humble Texans and Southerners.
I would say that it's mainly New Yorkers and Bostonites that need the humility check, but that some parts of the south have indeed scared/bored the heck out of me.

as a bostonian who has lived in new york, this resentment is only fueling my arrogance.

Thank you for better articulating what I was trying to say with the "waaah-waah-waaahs."
