Comments on The Ocean Is the New White Belt

Islands were way ahead of the pack on this one, then.

Um, so were The Decemberists, then, with "Mariner's Revenge Song" and "A Cautionary Tale."

Megan is totally right. The other night my friend was telling me about the new MM video and how Isaac is dressed like Skipper from Gilligan's Island. I said, "Yeah, they're really pushing this whole nautical thing." (Obviously, Seling's much more clever than I am.)

By the way, JZ was right.
Woolf's "The Mark on the Wall", from Monday or Tuesday: "I wish I could hit upon a pleasant track of thought, a track indirectly reflecting credit upon myself, for those are the pleasantest thoughts, and very frequent even in the minds of modest mouse–coloured people, who believe genuinely that they dislike to hear their own praises."

ho snap! the music editor knows what hes talking about! thats a first.

Decemberists? Come on, now; have you forgotten the 90s? Rachel's, Shipping News, June of '44, and so on? For some reason indie rock and the ocean have been tied together for many years.

ben affleck was in the voyage of the mimi.

"Sublime" by The Ocean Blue is a good song.

Um hello? Slint? "Good Morning, Captain"? 1991.

Uh, Beach Boys? "Sloop John B," 1966.

Hey geniuses, we live right next to the ocean. Chances are a lot of our bands are going to write shit about it.
