"From a fan who truly loves you and your music, beautiful song, Sufjan. From a father of 4, who wants to share beauty with his family while doing his best to teach them what is right, can you please choose different words to express yourself? I want to share this with all of my family and friends, but sadly I can't. From an adult who struggles with self control just like everybody else, I know that offensive words are not necessary and other equally effective communication is absolutely possible. Please accept my critique with all of the love that is meant for you, through it. Sincerely, your brother, Jedediah.?"
Lolz. I sometimes forget that Smurfjams has a pretty big Christian following. The first time I saw him the audience was a lot of dads and daughters.
Also, Pitchfork put up a great interview with him:
Mark me down for not understanding the people who hate "moist".
I mean....I get disliking a certain word but I've seen people like....scared of it. Like saying it out loud physically bothers them (or maybe they just are seeking attention) and get seriously angry at people for it.
It's only disgusting if you make it disgusting. I think it's a perfectly fine word. I don't use it often but I also think it's ridiculous to avoid using it because someone doesn't like the way it sounds.
I had a coworker who would have physical reactions to the word "clot". It would make him gag and shudder. I used to have so much fun with him.
Anybody meet someone before and a few months later they've told you all their good stories and now they just repeat the good stories and if they have anything new to tell you, it is really boring?
Yes Larry, I have heard about the time you saw the Rolling Stones, I've heard it like 20 times now and I can tell you it word for word.
My college roommate, he tends to repeat the same stories over and over again. And it's not like they're good stories, it's always about his job. And he's a teacher, with a history of bouncing around districts. Unless it's really scandalous, I don't care.
Meanwhile he started dating someone a few months ago, and I've heard him mention her name just once this year so far. And with no details on anything.
We don't have 10 inches yet, but it's been steadily snowing since around 2pm. When I woke (around 1-2ish) there was almost no snow, I'd say we have about 5inches on the ground already with no signs of stopping..
One of the kids rolled over for the first time tonight. The look on his face; the suprise and the excitement, made me so happy. For someone who is typically grumpy as fuck, these kids are tickling my heart strings. They show me my own humanity on an hourly basis.

I've been watching the westminster kennel club snapchats all night. first off, they're adorable. second, all I can think of is best in show. maybe I'll become a show dog handler.

Does anyone ever negatively judge a band before you have heard anything they do based purely on their name and the fact that other people like them? Its a pattern in myself I've noticed.
Right now I'm developing a dislike of Future Islands, having heard absolutely nothing they have done. I am assuming they are some kind of electro pop thing with no real depth. Some lame dude singer. I have not read anything about them other than what people on inforoo say.
I disliked Sylvan Esso before I heard them, assuming it would be tissue soft indie stuff (I was correct, I do not like them).
I disliked Parquet Courts before I heard them, assuming it would be fuzzy reverby indie stuff. I was wrong I do like them.
So its a phenomenon that doesn't really hurt me, since I do ultimately give the bands a listen and make a decision. But I do wonder where this comes from. I'm thinking it might go back to my teenage years in the mid-90s, where it became wildly uncool to like a band that achieved some arbitrary level of popularity.

sometimes i will pre-dislike somebody knowing who is trying to tell me to listen to them. i'm usually right, not saying the bands suck, i just knew that the person into them likes slower music and that bores me easily

I used to. This place pretty much changed that for me though. It sounds like you need to be more consciously open minded.
I think music is similar to drugs or alcohol. The mind state you go into music with has a direct impact on the music's effect on you. That's why you can hear a song 999 times and hate it and then on the 1000th spin it just clicks.

I absolutely do this. I will pre-judge anyone with a "____ the ____ " name thanks to Cage The Elephant and Young The Giant and probably a few other ones I can't remember.
Portugal. The Man really made me feel stupid. Maybe it's the period they threw in there that separates them from the rest.
I downloaded an NHL video game for my PS3. This was my first time playing an NHL game. Now I have realized this was a mistake. I'm going to be addicted. I stayed up until 2:30 in the morning playing when I had work at 8. I thought those days were behind me.

Yeah all the time. Tbh when I joined this forum I knew very little about music, I learned a lot by listening to bands certain posters on here like. There's not enough time to listen to all music, so sometimes you just have to judge by how good their name is haha.

Yeah, after reading the abysmal reviews for NHL 15, I decided to just get 14 for PS3 and save some money.

I just got a kit Kat that didn't have the crisp wafer in it. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Did I get cheated, or is it better than a regular kit Kat?

OMG THIS HAPPENED TO ME ONCE!!! I was incredibly upset about it. I feel your pain. you definitely got cheated.

It's better. It means you are special and gifted among all men (or women).
See, look at our two approaches. smellycat thinks you are cheated. It think you got more chocolate. How can that be a bad thing?
