But kinda SHIT anyway.

Summer Sonic just broke my heart

See those black boxes that overlap?

FUCK.

Yes I’m spending too much money to go to Tokyo to see these boys, yes I’ll be deliriously happy (if not completely unconscious from all the anticipation) when they finally go out on stage and start the three drum beats that kick off Mansard Roof , yes I will also piss my pants when Coldplay go into Strawberry Swing (and Yellow and Trouble and In My Place) and I will definitely pengsan if I see one of the VW boys in the Coldplay crowd or something and I will also go absolutely fucking nuts when MGMT play Time To Pretend and Kids and Future Refflections BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT

maybe this is a function of growing old-er but I am also so fucking worried about all this money that I’m spending, which is so weird because I went to Bangkok rock fest two years ago with like peanuts, seriously, but I didn’t give two shits.

I hate money. Well, the not having it. And the not being able to keep it for very long.

But I do love me some hedonistic dancing.

Most important of all … I LOVE GETTING ON A PLANE.

LCD Soundsystem is one of those groups I’ve always heard about but never heard. I don’t even know how I know about them … I don’t think I’ve ever seen their name on a T-shirt or anything.

But anyway … this is the kind of hook-y, mindless thing I would have appreciated while trying (in vain) to practice maths in JC … (had I not gotten that ugly E, would i have maybe been a neurosurgeon?) ….

Sorry for all the ellipses.

Anyway, I think my editor is majorly depressed.

ANYWAY … Thank you Gossip Girl

*Edited to add:

As I have been anticipating for a while, still-my-favourite-band (we’ll see whether they can top either my 1 1/2-year weezer obsession or my -gulp embarrasssssed- 3-year John Mayer insanity) came out with their new video, and it’s kind of cute.

Men in white suits never looked so goooood.

*SECOND EDIT:

This is actually my favourite favourite new song:

Would people love this band so much if that guy didn’t have ‘VanWyngarden’ as his last name and both of them didn’t always look like they were covered in mud?

I think … yes. The music is so trippy.
