FUCK THIS SWINTON SNUB.
Oh, yeah, I pre-ordered Break It Yourself.
I treated myself, I suppose.

I kind of really want the presale bundle, but I’m going to be in class all day, and while I’ll have my laptop and could sneak an order in if I keep my credit card info in a file or something, the morning class (10-1) probably won’t be so.
I am going to be at work so I just have to be really sneaky but I...
I know I’ve been missing a lot on here but I have been busy plus I sit in front of a computer all day at work and don’t want to be on one when I get home. Anyway…
After a few listens, I decided I really like “Eyeoneye,” even though, you know, I had already heard live versions of it. Also, did you catch the description Pitchfork had of the pre-sale bundle? Oh. my....

Not everyone grows up to be an astronaut Not everyone was born to be a king Not everyone can be Freddie Mercury Everyone can raise a glass and sing Well I haven’t always been a perfect person And I haven’t done what mom and dad had dream But on the day I die I’ll say, at least I fucking tried That’s the only eulogy I need
What should I be listening to?
Hi Everyone!
How are we all lately?
Hi Everyone!
Happy New Year! I haven’t abandoned Tumblr, I’ve just been busy with the end of the semester, the holidays, and then I got sick. Hopefully I am back now.

chrt answered your question: But wait, are we not allowed to dislike The Age of Adz?
why shouldn’t you be? I’d maybe say listen again. It’s a brilliant record.
I feel like people get REALLY defensive about people not liking that album.

The album is OK to me. I haven’t listened to it enough to really judge it… but that just shows you even more that it’s not “great” imo.
I really like him (consider him one of my top five favorite musicians) and I even bought it on vinyl the day it was released but I can’t get into it. It’s not for...

I kind of hate that album. I don’t think he sold out or anything, I just didn’t like it. I think we lose sight of the fact that sometimes, our favorites are capable of putting out music we don’t like, and that we don’t have to like everything.

I can’t wait to get excited about being bummed about not being able to go to all the summer festivals this year.
At least there’s livestreams.
Whenever I wear my Mysterious Production of Eggs shirts, people stare at it and ask, “What is that thing on your shirt?”

I wouldn’t pay $85 to see Jesus.
Hell no. The most I’ve paid for Deerhunter was $25 and even still, that was pushing it.

Couple of things here: we indie fans are so spoiled because pop concerts are way more than $85. Hell, Beyonce’s...

Agreed. It made me wish I could’ve gone both nights because Geese + Karen + 90 Mile Water Wall is brilliant and I would kill to hear all of them live, but Friday night/them playing City Middle was perfect.
Opening with “Ada” and playing “Murder Me Rachael” was awesome too....
