I don't know if it's exactly what you are doing, Carl'sCock, but you should listen to Skeletal Lamping by Of Montreal. It's amazing and what I might call "post-pop."
adam still has the highest post per day average
i'm third behind joel i think
haven't checked all the profiles
So I met this girl from North Carolina last night. Sweet chick, really pretty, I think her name was Katy. She tried to explain to me all the states and how they fit together and then I realised...I can barely name all 9 of our provinces how the hell am I going to remember the states names and locations and all that jazz.
I think it's a little worse that you don't remember her name than you don't remember our state's names :p
Pretty much every American ever has a hard time remembering every state off the top of their head
She pronounced a bit weird for me so I wasn't sure if it's Cady or Katy but I do know her surname, May, since she said she is going to switch her middle name with her maiden name when she gets married.

Or know where they are on a map. I took a map quiz in high school and missed 4. I mixed up Vermont and New Hampshire together and Montana and Wyoming
I'll try to name all the states off the top of my head (obviously without a reference sheet):
Alabama
Alaska
Arizona
Arkansas
Atlanta
California
Colorado
Delaware
Florida
Georgia
Hawaii
Idaho
Illinois
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Maine
Maryland
Massachusetts
Michigan
Mississippi
Montana
Nebraska
Nevada
New Hampshire
New Jersey?? <- A bit skeptical about this one
New Mexico
New York
North Carolina
North Dakota
Oklahoma
Oregon
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Vermont
Virginia
Washington
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Wyoming
That's that. I can't remember for the life of me the name of the state Dorothy (and the wizard, mind you) from The Wizard of Oz comes from. It's so silly, too, I'll remember an hour from now and be all like, "OH THAT'S WHAT IT IS! It was so obvious, too!". KANSAS! IT'S FREAKING KANSAS! I knew I'd discover two states by finding the first (Arkansas); my brain was just being a little bitch and the name was the cognitive equivalent of a poo trying to come out after one not eating enough fiber. Happens all the time that I forget really simple words.
That said, I'm still missing 5 4 states.
dusttttt in the wind
and both jerseys can shove it
That sounds really cool Carl, are you gonna release it somehow?
Tbh I think geography that isn't basic is kinda useless for almost everyone. Why do you need to know the exact location of things off the top of your head? Like I can normally point to the general vicinity of a country/state and I don't see why you'd need anything else, especially with how easy it is to google it now.
I was really good in US history but I remember I got a C on the naming/placing states and their capitols test. My teacher was real disappointed.
