devonlynn replied to your post: Talking in circles.
i feel this really deeply. i could have written this myself. it’s weird, but i love your mind and the way you think. you get it.
Thank you for this reply, Devon. Such a comforting thing to know someone feels (much less agrees with) how you feel. Especially in the anxiety ridden hours of the early morning.
Talking in circles.
I feel like a bad person. I’ve been feeling that way a lot. I’m frustrated with a lot of things, myself included. I have a romanticized idea of how the world should work and everything, every moment should be meaningful and important. I have a drive to search for art that has merit and cut down what doesn’t. I have unrealistically high expectations for people to be good. People...

vbyerley asked: The first time I heard Some Nights I didn't like it. Then I did. I guess it just has to grow on you. I don't know. Bah.

anatomyofanoxford asked: Why are you the only person that's getting it? "What the point if they're not getting any better?" Perfect. All the people that claim it's good to evolve need to go look at how Adele obtained success this past year. 21 wasn't radically different from 19, but you could tell that Adele matured and near-perfected her sound and style. The albums were similar yet worlds...

Listening to Some Nights again. Still disappointing. I thought maybe I would try to give it another shot, see if I could find something worthwhile in those 10 songs, but there really isn’t much to speak of. Painful vocal effects, whether it be vocoders or auto-tune, that’s the obvious thing everyone’s commented on, and it is indeed unbearable to listen to most of the time. Not to...

Alright, so this morning it seemed logical to buy tickets to both Tweedy solo shows. Oops. There went all my money.
Jeff Tweedy announced his solo benefit shows in Chicago. Why am I not independently wealthy?

Tumblr is serious business, obviously.
Apparently some people got mad because I used the phrase “Freddie Mercury and company” when referring to Queen the other day. To clarify, yes, I am aware that the band was a lot more than just Freddie. Brian May is without question, one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Every bit the showman, and the talent Freddie was, hands down. John Deacon is an incredibly musician in his own...

When did there all of a sudden become an overwhelming need to compare bands to Queen? Seriously, three separate times today, this has happened. No one is going to touch Freddie Mercury and company. Just accept it.

If you don't like Dear and the Headlights,

Listening to Wilco on the road to Chicago just always feels right.

Wouldn’t say I’ve ever actually been “poor”, not severely anyway, but this really hit close to home. Highly recommended.
