	Rachel Rachel Sikkenga	I was in Fairplay once, sitting otuside of a podunk bar while my brother went looking for water, and I can say with almost complete certainty that I saw Officer Brady... you know, in non-cardboard cut-out form. I have trouble believing that any of the following are anything less than enriching for the soul: a) House b) The Office c) The Daily Show And of minor interest to you... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy7QLM ...simply becuase is it slightly relevant.   Posted by Rachel on Thursday, March 15, 2007 - 1:03 PM [Reply to this]

	Sovay	Are you seriously trying to convince me that The Office is bad for my soul? That the little and large combination of Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant (and, latterly, Greg Daniels) are trying to destroy the very fibre of my being via my corneas...just for kicks? And that Extras is operating under the same agenda? That every time I release a highly unflattering and uncontrollable howl of laughter I'm that much closer to becoming an empty vessel which one held a fiery spirit? I can't believe it. I won't believe it. And to prove my defiance of your judgement I'm going to go watch some Office right now...even though I have a Chaucer essay due in less than 24 hours and I shall be no state to finish it after the whisky tasting tonight (it's Isla evening). PS: Eamonn (banjo) from Salsa Celtica says hello. Saw him last night and he was enthusing about working with you at some point. You must have one hell of a packed diary.   Posted by Sovay on Thursday, March 15, 2007 - 1:18 PM [Reply to this]

	Punchy	You are hilarious - in no way artless. Barring unforeseen mishaps, we will be front and center at Carnegie Hall, celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary (eek) by listening to the incomparable Tensions Mountain Boys.   Posted by Punchy on Thursday, March 15, 2007 - 1:29 PM [Reply to this]

	Clare	I'm troubled by the appearance of Dave Matthews and Roger Federer in the same blog. One thinks he's a god, the other IS a god. You do the math on that one. There is no god? Hmm. Excelsior!   Posted by Clare on Thursday, March 15, 2007 - 2:40 PM [Reply to this]

	Kathleen Kathleen T	Dave Matthews has incured your wrath as well? Mayhaps it be the fans who try so hard to be "chill" that they will sooner punch you in the face than admit to being anything but laid back 24/7? Or would it be the nerve grinding Kenny G sax that seems to show up inappropriately at every turn? And with that, I'm going to go fearlessly re-enter the college culture where I may just be sacrificed for suggesting that Dave is lacking in the musical genius about which everyone raves. Hope to catch you this summer.   Posted by Kathleen on Thursday, March 15, 2007 - 3:42 PM [Reply to this]

	***Neeka*** Anneke Wilson	Chris you are sincerely adding to my immense knowledge of useless things, I know now we would get along famously. Respectable yes. The mundane even more so. I am on pins and needles to see NC again in 1 month and 27 days (not that I am counting or anything). And must admit that I still have yet to see the "How to Grow a Band", hope that you make to SLC soon with them. Best wishes and much love as always, Neeka   Posted by ***Neeka*** on Thursday, March 15, 2007 - 11:19 PM [Reply to this]

	andria	I had the pleasure of the How to Grow a Band twice this year. In one weekend! Hopefully more to come! =) I can hardly wait for the Tensions Mountain Boys.   Posted by andria on Thursday, March 15, 2007 - 11:37 PM [Reply to this]

	Fiona Fiona Christoe	I did have the pleasure of you and the How to Grow a Band's company for Wintergrass, which was simply amazing by the way. Hopefully, we will see the Tensions Mountain Boys in the northwest very soon. Fiona   Posted by Fiona on Friday, March 16, 2007 - 12:25 AM [Reply to this]

	katiegail	That's not dispicable, if the reader can follow the entire path of logic. I interpret this to mean you don't "kiss and tell", at least by blog, which is quite respectable. I look forward to seeing you in the company of any band as soon as you make it to south Texas. (The next show I know of is the farewell tour coming to Helotes in April.) So, see you then, and play on!!   Posted by katiegail on Friday, March 16, 2007 - 12:38 AM [Reply to this]

	katiegail	Hmm, after reading the other comments, I need to say something about TV. In the new movie Bridge to Terebithia, girl says "TV rots your brain." Boy in class says "I watch TV all the time!" Girl says "I rest my case." I stopped watching TV, but maybe it's b/c I dont have cable. Or b/c I'd rather read.   Posted by katiegail on Friday, March 16, 2007 - 12:44 AM [Reply to this]

	Lisa	Chris you are too much! But you always keep me on my toes. While my family watches an embarrassing amount of time watching TV, and I will admit to the mind numbing properties of cable television, I will say that it contributed to saving my life when my mother learned how to do the Heimlich maneuver by watching television. And while I also can get sucked into the soul crushing disease of television, I can’t resist how full shows like The Office and Freaks and Geeks have made me feel. So while TV is evil, it does have some healing properties, although I know such things, (like blog posts) are often few and far between. In the meantime, I’ll be dreaming about linocuts, the words in Don Delillo’s White Noise, and saying something smooth and funny to you at Floores in April, but I will more likely mutter something about a good show and an autograph to you and then drive back home full and happy. Always listening, Lisa   Posted by Lisa on Friday, March 16, 2007 - 7:00 AM [Reply to this]

	.	Would you be privy to other things that are bad for the soul? Because I watch none of it and mine still seems to be afflicted with a fiery case of Soul-leprosy. ...and what happens if I check one of those "2 kudos" buttons at the bottom of the screen? Do you get something out of the deal?   Posted by . on Friday, March 16, 2007 - 6:27 PM [Reply to this]

	taunaleah	Not as despicable...promise?   Posted by taunaleah on Friday, March 16, 2007 - 6:29 PM [Reply to this]

	Loretta Jenkins	I love Dave Matthews, Blues Traveler and Chris Thile. I don't think that my common tastes are uncommon. Perhaps you hate yourself, but not to worry. I would marry you if I were ten years younger, single and free from the chains of children. In other words, you may suffer from self-loathing surrounding the fact that you appeal to the same people who like Dave and Popper, but I love you. And my opinion matters. But maybe I don't love you. Maybe I just think you are hot and talented, emphasis on hot. Shallow, we fans can be. Fame's gotta suck sometimes, but I'd still take it for a spin any day.   Posted by Loretta Jenkins on Saturday, March 17, 2007 - 1:08 AM [Reply to this]

	Curiously Intense	Ok so first I had to go back and make sure I had not left a note on last drivel blog... but then was too lazy to scan all the pages of notes so I decided to just FEEL like I wasn't that silly as to comment on it. And now I can move onward... of COURSE you are not as despicable as you come across there. But if you could take the time to point out someone who IS despicable, in a nice Daffy Duck fashion, and then get shot several times before crumbling into a pile that leaves your mouth hanging in space a moment longer than the rest of you... well that would make me forget all about Blog the Fifth. Think you can? You don't have to show anyone else, in case you are afraid it might not work. Just me. ; ) Be well.   Posted by Curiously Intense on Saturday, March 17, 2007 - 4:41 PM [Reply to this]

	Ron	Glad you're resolved to blog on a higher plane, though it's nice to play mind games occasionally. And, true--a gentleman never tells. For what it's worth, IMHO t.v.

	Davey	Blog the Fifth and a Half was indeed a little disappointing, but I'm sure Blog the Sixth will make up for it. On a totally unrelated note: http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c117/Unkledoc/OhNoes.jpg Myspace raised an interesting question, and challenged my faith in the Chris of the Thile variety. I mean.. Chris Brown apparently has music without cost. Who can deny that?
