I'm trying to work on my temper lately. I'm quick to get annoyed about the most unimportant and mundane things. I'm generally a calm dude, but I tend to be blunt and sometimes regret saying things so harshly after the fact. I'm not sure if it's the fact that I'm coming out of depression and my medication is working or what, but I'm becoming waaaaaay more self aware recently. It's kind of nice. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to completely let go of my asshole way of joking with people though - sarcasm is my favorite brand of humor. I've just gotten a feeling recently of wanting to let go of all of the small superficial shit and just be a more understanding person. I feel like it'd be good for my mental health.

I really like the xylophone and toy piano sounds in Wilco's I am trying to break your heart. and then the real piano kicks in and sorta resolves it, with that clunky Kotche beat going on. Man, its such a great quacking song. I've listened to that song like 6 times in a row now, and I am not usually the type of person who can listen to songs over and over again.
I understand how some people can be turned off/don't get Wilco (it wasnt until I'd seen them for the third time that I really got into it) but once it clicks its like, wow. national treasure, imo.
I once had a sexy time dream about a coworker (Cheesecake coworker, not office coworker). It's his fault. I didn't even know him that well and I overheard him say one day that he had a beautiful d*ck. I should also mention he was like 19 or 20 at the time and very cute. ...so yeah know my style... dream happens. I have no shame so I told him. I couldn't look at him without blushing and giggling for like 3 months.
EDIT: He actually goes to Bonnaroo now (this year will be his third), so I'll be sure to introduce him if paths cross.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
zoolander is my favorite movie of all time..... I'm scared that this is going to suck. so I hope the fact they waited so long means it's gonna be AWESOME.

So that's how sexy dreams work? I just have to tell people I have a beautiful d*ck? Then they'll have sexy dreams about me, and then they'll want to love me. And by love me I mean take me to music festivals and get me drunk. Finally, I have answers.

"I was playing and you came to see me. I went back in the day to some cheap dim brick-neon picnic dressing room to find and you had brought this surprise healer in long black veiled dress…this woman to heal me or something healing like that cuz I really needed it you always knew…I was with love and I ask the healer woman if its cool if she stay…at first healer was unsure but then she says okay — she stays. So the healer began to work me good and she looked deep into me from behind a veil and said “One foot in this world and one in the other. It’s ok — you can move on. You can move on to the next chapter in your life. Okay?” Which felt so good to hear. Then all of a sudden the room was paused/motionless except for me. I was standing on a white plastic picnic chair letting out this crazy wail almost orgasmic but also a lot of sadness and steam like a primal screaming banshee vent I howled out puking neon UV rays rivaling those of most modern suns… As I finished wailing the scene abruptly spliced and you and love and a few other unidentifiable people in the room were still frozen but the healer was now standing by an open doorway with her arm gesturing for me to walk towards her thru the doorway and out into the light beautiful night time starry sky full moonlight. Now she has two faces: one still looking at me, inviting me to come over, and one looking out the door into the future and they were permanently slow turning like forever blurred back and forth. I consider this to be a good sign and as I walk towards her and out the open door into the new moonlight so grateful I wish you were here to hear it I cant hear it without thinking of you. Thank you for thinking of me."

Ha, I just closed this article then popped back over to YouTube.
Jim James, Robin Pecknold and Tycho all talk/write exactly how I would expect them too. Also way to go Wayne Coyne for spending half of his comment shitting on Radiohead.

I feel somewhat out of place.
It's spring break for college students (for the ones I know at least.) Seems like about everybody I associate with is either in Panama, Myrtle Beach, or the ACC Mens Basketball tournament. I have yet to do anything as far as a big trip is concerned during spring break. I was running on fumes by time break came around, plus I try to save as much spending money as possible for summer. I feel like though I don't take full advantage of a week without any real obligations. I'm considering switching it up next year and going to Vegas....it will be my last "spring break".
It prob won't happen...but that's what I'm telling myself.

I only ever did one 'spring break' trip while I was in college, and it was only to New Orleans. I usually just used the week to get caught up on any projects or assignments because I was lame.
I missed this whole conversation. But holy shit, RJ, this just made me feel really old.... I mean, you're also really young, but still, just over 10 years ago for me.

Yeah, it will probably be just about as good as Dumb & Dumber To.

I had a very untraditional college experience. I worked a full time job, went to a branch, own a house, and took 7 years to complete my degree. With that being said, I think "spring break" is overrated. You can get drunk on a beach whenever you want, saving money for summer and other things you want to do is way more appealing to me. When I go to grad school I'm going to try to do the "typical" college thing though, so maybe I'll change my mind if I make friends in Austin. Though I'm not sure what Texans do for fun in the spring, no really nice close beaches and all.

my time hop today was filled with my spring break trip photos from senior year of college. one of the best trips I've ever been on. it was about 15 girls from my sorority and 15 dudes from one of the fraternities we were close with and we went to mexico for 5 days. it was so much god damned fun. and I won a beer chugging contest.

eh, I think thats a little disingenuous. he calls their pre- OK computer stuff boring, and says There There translates better on record than live. Otherwise is pretty high praise. He gives some context for his feelings of radiohead
"Then I didn’t see them for a couple of years, and then we were lucky enough to play the Glastonbury festival just before they did, probably on their greatest night. That was the Hail To The Thief record. They were completely different. They were funny and they had some fuck-ups and they were just not so furious and it wasn’t just play it by the numbers. It was literally one of the greatest shows we’ve seen. "

I never went on a crazy spring break in college and don't regret it one bit. It always struck me as a giant pain in the ass. One year I did go to a conference in New York. That was fun.

Word to this. Lots of my friends did them, but I just didn't see the appeal/think it was worth the money. And no regrets on skipping out on those spraaaaang breakz
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.

I guess I focused on these parts:
That song, I would still say, is uncanny when I listen to it. It would be hard to recreate that. I’ve seen them play it now a couple of times. It wasn’t that powerful. It was like, “OK, I like that song,” and it moves on.
I didn’t like them back when they first got big. I saw them just before OK Computer. They struck me the way a lot of British bands will when they do a tour of America. They’re very professional, they do their thing, the lights are all on cue, but it seems very much like “We’re playing 100 shows and that was number 80.” Not that it wasn’t good, there’s no…we’ve played with a lot of British bands that have that thing about them. I think it’s part of the British musician. Put your head down, do this. I thought it was boring. I stood on my feet at the end of it and said, “You’ve gotta play ‘Creep!’ You can’t just not play ‘Creep’ just because everyone likes the song.” That’s just me being smarmy.
and
They’re still weird. They’re not the approachable guys, not like freaks hanging out. But, hey, that’s what you’d expect from them.
I dunno. Wayne definitely gives them high praise but all the stuff I quoted feels like weird way to give a compliment. And it especially stood out among everyone else basically raving about the band.
Also full disclosure I have little to no patience for Wayne Coyne these days. That definitely factored into my reading of it.
I think I worked through most spring breaks. Senior year I did go up to Killington for the week. That is about as crazy as I got.
EDIT: Actually, I lived in Paris my junior year and spent the first half of my two week Spring Break in Corsica with UConn and part of the second half in southern France (Hyeres, St Tropez..) with my parents. Still wasn't any kind of balls to the wall trip though!

uncanny, as in , hard to characterize or understand, extraordinary. he's saying the song is a great song, something about it that he can't explain speaks to him, and it didn't translate live. that je ne sais quoi just wasn't there in the live setting. he even explains that whatever it is about that song, would be hard to recreate live. i wouldn't call that shizting on radiohead, I would call that explaining more detail about your favorite radiohead song.

I get how this could be construed as "shizting" on them, but when he folows that up later with
It was literally one of the greatest shows we’ve seen.
I think it could just as easily be read as him saying "ya know, I didn't dig their live show when I first saw it, but holy shit my perspective has changed."
They’re still weird. They’re not the approachable guys, not like freaks hanging out. But, hey, that’s what you’d expect from them.
eh, this seems like a pretty apt description of radiohead's reputation in the music industry, doncha think? and he passing judgement about that, saying thats uncool or something (see: miley, lily allen, kanye, etc...)
