I’m in Airlie atm. bbs. I’ll post my end of year lists when I get back too.
Colin reviews: the Daft Punks
Let me just say this for one night only. FUCK the Arcade Fire. I saw Daft Punk and can now die and go to robot heaven. This statement will be retracted by the time January 29th/tomorrow morning comes but right now, that is how I feel. I also feel a gaping hole in my heart because I will never witness this monumental occasion ever again. Tonight wasn’t so much a rock concert as it was a work...
stereogum > pitchfork
I enjoyed reading Stereogum’s Gummy Awards 2007 much more than Pitchfork’s end of year lists.

“Look man, I got your hidden track right here, pal. Right here. Listen, Ben Folds...”
– Ben Folds, in the pregap for Whatever And Ever Amen. Then it breaks straight into One Angry Dwarf And 200 Solemn Faces. Ben Folds, yr fucking rad.

I had no idea this even existed. I just checked it out on my copies of Silent Alarm and Songs For The Deaf, and apparently there’s one on Whatever And Ever Amen, so I’m gonna go check that out too now. Fucking cool though.

Hahaha, I love this show so much. Explains my new Tumblr description too.
“I got a hand, so I got a fist, so I got a plan, it’s the best that I can...”

“Her mother is of Greek origin” “…before marrying in a Greek Orthodox ceremony…” That was just a swt pic I found of her.
