You are a very stupid person. I’m sure I’m not the first to tell you, but I want you to know that everyone else was right on the money.

The Decemberists are definitely worse. 

She’s been making great music! Metals and Pleasure both have some fantastic songs on them. 

No, but Imogen Heap was.

That cannot possibly be true. AF is one of the biggest bands of the last 20 years.

I always thought Belle and Sebastian were way more “Wes Anderson Movie: The Band” than Vampire Weekend. And I’m a pretty big Belle and Sebastian fan.

“The Finnish flag will be raised at NATO headquarters on Tuesday, as it joins the alliance as its 31st member nation. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg characterized this path as the “fastest ratification process” in NATO’s modern era on Monday.”

TV commercials: The only place middle aged people hear pop music anymore.

I get your point but just wanna point out that k-pop ones are far from niche. K-pop fans love any merch for their groups and spend millions

Don’t tell anyone else, but I’m starting to question if capitalist corporate law is really helpful to society. Thinking maybe not.

Hahaahh!!
