Yeah. I think I'm just gonna fudge it and write "New Photographers" on her track listing. I'm giving her links to allmusic, pitchfork, and wikipedia...she'll figure it out.  |

Step 7
Rocky seems like a Cmajor type of dude, so pick up the guitar and pick. Start strumming around on C. Try to find an appropriate rhythm.

New Stenographers would make a great cover band...
Thing about this mix is, I'm going for "catchy", and I'll be goddamned if the New Pornographers aren't about as cute and catchy as it gets. So yeah, New Photographers it is.

Step 8
Settle on a progression.
My vote goes for C, Em, G, F
but we're going to throw this up a bit and take note from Lennon, changing the F in the 3rd bar to a Dm. Oooooh, bet you didn't see that coming.
Keep thinking of new lines to follow the rhythm as you play through. When you can think of nothing, just keep repeating the main lyric. More will come. If you've got some soul in you.

Step 9Round out the first verse. It should look something like this.
C Em G F
Rocky makes the world go 'round
C Em G F
and so does the sun's gravitational pull
C Em G Dm
When Rocky is sad the whole world weeps
C Em G F
Crank up their stereo with their favorite VU

Hmmm...I can't get that to show up right.
But anyway, there you go. We're like a fifth of the way through with the greatest song ever written...
...about Rocky.

This is funny.
I think so, anyway.
How To Spot A Feminazi
For those of you who think you might know a Feminazi, here is a little test that will help you to determine whether or not the woman in question is, in fact, a Feminazi:
Directions: Tabulate answers by keeping a tally of the corresponding letters. And no, I'm not telling you what to do!
1. Ask her if she thinks Meg Ryan is cute. She:
a. Agrees and then punches you in the face.
b. Disagrees and walks away calmly.
c. Stares at you blankly and drools.
2. Casually mention the following joke: Why'd the woman cross the road? Road? What road? What's she doing out of the kitchen? She responds by:
a. Pushing you to the ground and grinding her steel-toed boot into your throat.
b. Giggling slightly while clutching the latest issue of Teen Beat.
c. Staring at you blankly and drooling.
3. Refer to her as a cum-catching baby-making robot. She:
a. Spits at you, kicks you and bites off your index finger.
b. Rolls her eyes and walks away.
c. Stares at you blankly and drools.
5. Mention Howard Stern. She:
a. Starts screaming as she kicks you to the ground.
b. Says she doesn't appreciate his brand of humor.
c. Stares at you blankly and drools.
6. Tell her that you've heard she's the greatest lay in town. She:
a. Spits at you, kicks you and bites off your index finger.
b. Agrees.
c. Stares at you blankly and drools.
5-6 'A's.....................She'd make Hitler weep from jealousy.
3-4 'A's.....................She's read a bit about it and is on her way to being a Feminazi.
1-2 'A's.....................She's a Feminazi with some sense of humor.
1-6 'C's.....................She's not a Feminazi. But she is retarded.

This isn't much fun anymore maybe I just need to drink more Yeah, just get drunker...I'm on one of those silent buzzes right now, so I can't be of much help. You gotta just let it go. As it spirals from, "Haha, what an awesome yet ironic thing to do on the internet" to "flat out pathetic, that guy really needs to get himself together", it gets all the better. |

I've decided that I'm going to get a sex-change and change my name to Veronica Daggers. I'm going to be the next teen idol slut. It'll be awesome.
