music: killing me softly with its songs

[kerpingtack]

I've been trying to think of the right word to describe Life Without Buildings all day. I know there's a word for what I'm thinking, I just can't access it. Anyway, Life Without Buildings: it is startling in how good it is, and in how it's good; it's such a... what is the word? It's like something I was waiting for. Startling, astonishing, disarming. It's like aliens heard us and created it on a different planet and put it down here. It's perfect in a way I didn't imagine, but listening to it, it's like "oh! of course! how could it have been done any other way?" GODDAMNIT HOW DO I SAY THIS??

Billiam Weckett from the Academy Is is super-cute 11 ft tall pixie stick. I still have the hugest truck-sized crush on their drummer. *___*

Daft Punk, so groovy!

For all the bitchin I do about the orchard of hipster dicktrees that is the world, I think I'm slowly realizing that... I'm... kind of... pretty much... an indie whore. An inexperienced one, but an indie whore nonetheless?

I recently realized that EP stands for Extended Play. I think I had previously found that out before, but I promptly forgot it. Whatever. Extended play! What a neat-o phrase! *sadly not sarcastic*
