I don't think that anyone reads my journal, but if you do, I have a reccomendation for you. I've had this song on my computer for a while, but only now have I begun to listen to it. Please listen to "two" by the antlers. It's 6 minutes long, but listen to it all the way through because it's absolutely incredible--it's as tender and romantic and real as the best of indie pop. I haven't been able to find the lyrics online, but from what I can understand it's about two people from broken families trying to live together. If you don't have six spare minutes in your day, just listen to the gorgeous openings chords, as etheral and honest as the rest of the song.

Least Favorite Live shows: Fences (Don't SPIT on your GODDAMN dumkit),  the Walkmen (sorry Walkmen, you were good, and I am going to see you again when you tour with Beach House, but who am I kidding. That was a bad show. Bumbershoot was not for you), Paramore (I only saw them by accident, and I mean, the actual performance looked good but the music was bad. so bad.), People that followed Paramore (you were the absolute worst and epitomized a stupid ass punk stupid band.), Chromeo (Ok, that was just a ridiculous show. I'm sorry. Why are you famous?) 

 Next live show I will see:  Killers, Death Cab, CWK, Shiny Toy Guns, Aqualung at the 107.7 think. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE CWK AGAIN! and death cab! Ben Gibbard is a national treasure. as for the killers, you kind of lost me with this album, but if you play some of the old stuff i'll have a good time. 

 Kimya Dawson--Again. What can I say? Just wanna have fun at the Healthy Fun Times Club. 

 Little Joy--if I can get people to accompany me. 

 ***

 I don't know anyone who has my taste in music. Seriously. No one. I mean, I have my Of Montreal friends and my Neutral Milk Hotel Friends and my Animal Collective friends, but they usually stay pretty seperate. and none of them like Sunset Rubdown. If you like a couple of those bands, you're the best. 

 Bitch, now we're both laughing.
