Caveat: the the

My intention had been to make a simple blog post of this bit of music I'm listening to, as I often do, these days. Nowadays, approaching 3000 posts, I do a quick search of my posting history before making a new post, because I have some rules: never post the same video or piece of music twice, and never post the same title, twice (though I may have broken that one a few times).

So the piece of music I wanted to post was by the band with the euphonious name of "the the." One of the absolute best band names of all time. So I searched my blog for "the the" – it seemed like a weird enough thing – I'd either posted something by them, or not.

Lo and behold, I never posted anything by that band. Unfortunately, my search for "the the" got 3 pages of google hits. Why? Because apparently in Jared-typo-ese, it's quite common: I like to type the the when I mean the. So then, being the slightly OCD person that I am, I decided I needed to fix all these typos. That took a long time. Fortunately, I had a "The The" soundtrack to accompany me. Heh. Heh.

What I'm listening to right now.

The The, "Giant."
