Nah, it was a rapper named CupcakKe, or something like that

She’ll be sorely missed.

I Will Possess Your Heart was probably the last good Death Cab song.

Swervedriver's Mezcal Head was a big 90s record for young Birds in Hell.

Favorite line?

I hate when I pre order a release because I'm excited about it and then when the release date comes I'm still waiting for it to arrive.

Still buying CD’s?

I buy vinyl but I'm sure it's the same for cd buyers

having a preorder delivered after album release day is like edging during sex

Listened to Strand of Oaks - Eraserland for maybe the third or fourth time. I like it more and more each time I listen to it.

yeah, when Amazon let me know that "oh hey we've upgraded you to release date shipping!" I was a little surprised it wasn't already like that, especially with Prime shipping already in there.

Not really my thought but an interesting article + thread nonetheless.

I don't get Ghost at all. Like, there are a few songs that I enjoy but they sound like the Scorpions and look like Dimmu Borgir. How do fans reconcile this difference? Are they that much different live or something?

The Starbucks I am in is playing a polka version of Hotline Bling and I kinda dig it

So why don't people just listen to The Scorpions? They want image and fantasy, I guess, and something new. Even if new is an illusion.

It was more a take on their music not being as heavy as they look, like at all, instead of a dig on the Scorpions.

I either never knew, or knew briefly and then forgot, about One Day As A Lion (Zach De La Roca). Heard it yesterday on KEXP.

Gonna pick up this album on iTunes right now.

It's pretty good, especially the title track. But it's essentially RATM. He just needs to suck it up and get back together with them already
