But I was at that Ned's Atomic Dustbin show. →
Getting all worked up over the discovery that I missed out on some bands (Unrest, Swirlies, Verve) when they came through town.
In 1993.

Personality Crisis
Is this a safe space to talk about the fact that Todd Rundgren’s new album [re]Production might be the most “DAAAAADDDDD, stop emBARrassing me!” album I’ve ever heard, but also happens to contain the most genius spoof/criticism of Lady Gaga (via the New York Dolls)?

I would like to congratulate you, for whatever you’ve done recently and been too scared, too proud, too cowardly to discuss or bleat out into the world. We all have those things, that don’t feel good when you speak them aloud - I have one, but I will cut my leg off in the wilderness/the parking lot of an AM/PM before I talk about it with anyone but my Mom. She gave birth to me....

“I love this song so much, I spent months wondering if I actually hated it.”
– The Top 25 Songs of 2011 | Rob Sheffield | Rolling Stone
Look out Kurty* Vile: the more I listen, the more this Don Henley Bon Iver song is becoming my favorite song of the year.
*Typo, left there because it felt like an appropriately affectionate diminutive for the guy.
