my favourite bit in “Letter From An Occupant” - at 3:13 when the producer says “right here!” to cue Neko back in.

doooood! Everyone was sick of New Photographers, White Stripes and Death Cab in 2000? They where all on their first album!

Who’s the yellow turtle with the Wolverine claws?

Is Vincent trans or does he have dissociative identity disorder? These are not the same thing, of course.

Influencer, is a polite term for narcissist. Avoid them at all costs.

I must be a hipster then. I was bullied and disowned for being queer. I would never and could never be friendly with Mike Pence even if it meant me becoming President. Aspiration over integrity is not progress or equality, no matter how many Ellens the straight people eat up.

There’s also the matter of it’s not just…
