i was at a girl's apartment last summer and she was playing "i'm not gonna teach your boyfriend how to dance with you" and part of me thought that was cool as hell, and another more evil part of me thought "the black kids fucking suck, what's a cool artist chick like you doing listening to that played out shit."

random rules is one of the greatest songs ever written, huh?

e. buzz miller the commenter was a russian psy-op.

the first three tracks are great and then i get bored.

do any of us?

never be ashamed for resorting to simpsons memes. simpsons memes are holy, something precious.

e buzz miller

how do you keep up with the news like that?

it's about indie rock buzzband, cults, and how they sold their souls to make a song as catchy as go outside.

this is the exception that proves the rule

my problem with them as a got older was that they contained no subtlety. like every song was very explicitly about self-harm and depression.i guess that sincerity is what allowed kids to latch onto them, which seems, in retrospect, commendable.

need to keep that precious internet cred.

he also had a disease extremely similar to alzheimer's. i don't begrudge anyone who chooses to self-extinguish in light of such a diagnosis.

it's true as hell.

i feel like a lot of depressed middle school kids latched onto hybrid theory and meteorica. i dunno, this is sad and weird.

this is fucking with me worse than i figured it would. i was never a huge fan of linkin park even though their heyday was when i was in middle school, since their music seemed to so explicitly deal with self-harm. i don't know. this is sad.

oh no this is gonna end poorly for me.

hell yeah. gimme any waylon jennings, willie nelson or merle haggard recs that you can.

is arcade fire releasing anything new? haven't been paying attention.

i honestly think that we were dead before the ship even sank is their saddest album. like there's not much on there besides misery, whereas like lonesome crowded west has anger, the moon and antartica has beauty and good news for people who love bad news has goofiness.
