you, as well, nailed it, whatever it is. I forget.

nailed it

isn't it strange how what we love most in art (like Casimir Pulaski Day) is when someone can turn something we are all terrified of into something beautiful? we're a bunch of fucked up apes, man

this is like Beck coming out with Sea Change. Don't know if you are into Beck or not, but SC was amazing and unlike anything else he had done. While Sufjan has done sad songs and done them incredibly well, this is a whole album of that, so maybe that will help give you a frame of reference

ego, bro

no way, who does that? [slinks away]

I see you point on Modest Mouse. What I was thinking of was when I started going back in their catalog after hearing Good News… and liking them more and more the farther back I went. I will say for MM though that they constantly keep my attention with every record they do, which not many bands are capable of. Most…

omfg I can't believe you waste this much time on this. you seriously have nothing better to do?

definitely check out Illinois, as others said it has several of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Age of Adz is great too, if for no other reason than he took such a departure from what he'd done before and pulled it off really well.

KCRW? if that's what you mean, hell yes, I love that station, I stream it in NYC I miss it so much. KCRW introduced me to more good music than I could ever repay them for.

Pearl Jam
Pink Floyd
Modest Mouse
Tool
Sleater-Kinney

so a chapter on dating, having sex with and breaking up with Corin Tucker or GTFO

The plan keeps coming back again

YES. the break in the middle of Cowboy Dan is just so amazing and seems to come from nowhere. Whenever it comes on I always stop whatever I'm doing and just fucking sit there absorbing it.

I think MM perfected the pop song with "Float On" and I mean that as a compliment. It truly is perfect in my opinion.

to which I would say, how the fuck can you get addicted to something that crashes, logs you out immediately and forever, hates your fucking guts, was designed by mentally retarded baboons, and has the ease of usage of a croissant that's being used as a dildo (just stared Veep)?

GUYS! have we seen this?

ah, got it

Just started Moby Dick. Really liking it so far. I never had to read it in school, can you believe that?

what are you looking for as an agent, Pops, if you don't mind me asking
