Rapture Ready, I Gazed At The Body!

Good morning, sovereign nation! It is currently 11:18 A.M, which is approximately the time that a young man should be creating puddles of drool in the middle of his math textbook, paying his unfounded dues to the faceless monster that is the hierarchy of education! Yet, on this gloriously foggy morning, I have defeated that faceless monster. For 24 hours. Yes, I am at home "sick"! If your definition of sick is similar to mine, i.e lazy, achy, full of Kraft Dinner, bombarded with new music, then you can probably take those quotations off of sick! In my fragile state, I've been all over the musical map, and decided that this morning, I would veer away from the "New York - California" theme, put down my Hot ChocQuil (which is my newly patented mixture of hot chocolate and NyQuil!), and let your pretty little fingers delve deep into my recent listening habits! Please listen responsibly!

The Necessarily Poppy Prequel to Elusive, Wispy Autumn Mixtape! (Ease up on the adjectives, Norman!)

Lightning Strikes The Postman - The Flaming Lips!

The Flaming Lips have been very persistent in the battle to win over my listener-ship! All their efforts are fruitless though, because I have been an obsessive-to-the-point-of-alarming fan since the first ten seconds of "With You" on their first album, Hear It Is. Relentless in their awe-inspiring disregard for knowing how to technically play instruments well, the Flaming Lips are kicking the shit out of my ear canals today! This song is off of their 1995 masterpiece, Clouds Taste Metallic.

Lately - BOAT

There are certain instances when the hair of a fifteen year old boy, which may be one of the least delicate things in the universe, next to the hands of an experienced miner, can be completely misshapen by a pair of monumental headphones. This sacrifice of hair-form is completely acceptable when it's caused by four chords, and a song that screams for good times in the verse, and saves the bad times for the bridge.

BOAT have just recently released their new LP, entitled Setting the Paces! I'll give you a little a piece of advice: go find it. Whatever environmental shit you need to muddle through, find this record. It's worth it.

She Will Only Bring You Happiness - Mclusky

The Difference Between Me and You Is That I'm Not on Fire.
This song is terrific.
I wouldn't lie to you.
Listen to it!

Walk on Water - Midnight Masses

The damage is done.

Rejoice, readers! Football season is almost finished, or as the french would say, terminated!
What does that mean?! I will have a whole slew of time just ripe to force my opinions and impeccable tastes upon you!

Remember, at least you'll die humming pop songs!
