the one thing I learned during this holiday season is the plague of unbelievably shit pop music, it is all lame grunge with girlies singing stupid ironic lyrics of junior high mentality.

I like how everyone took Hayden seriously. Like honestly, he's just proving how stupid most of you are.

i can't believe someone would take a statement about lana del rey being boring seriously

she's so exciting

Yup. Also beach stuff. There's good in every subgenre, but there's also a whole lot of shit. I've about had it with the dreary, lo-fi, mountain-folk (I'm looking at you Bon Iver!)

The one thing I realised this year is that there is a plethora of music from the 60s and 70s that I haven't discovered yet which bears attentive listening.

Like an old Chinese proverb says, don't speak ill of the present if you haven't even had the chance to explore the past in full.

Tonight I've heard Amon Duul II's 'Yeti' and Cluster's 'Cluster II' for the first time and I have no idea why they've never been on my radar before now.

I wish I wasn't such an idiot and had gone to see Cluster when they played in London two years ago.

i still dont get Phallus Dei. Its too unfocused compared to Yeti.

AHHHHHH SHUT UP.

I didn't see that show but they were well disappointing when I did. sadface.

sometimes things are best left on your headphones

That's been true for me too. I've been rediscovering a lot of old stuff. Particularly the black female vocal groups of that era. Grrrl-power!
