Tindersticks, “Here” (Pavement cover)
They make it magisterial, melancholy—my two favorite descriptors for music! Also Stuart Staples sounds more natural singing “crotch mavens” than Malkmus does; he sings “crotch mavens” as if he knows what it means.
Today I drove past the high school while it was letting out, and my windows were down because this is the most pleasant springtime I’ve ever lived, and some kids got stinkface when they heard this chamber music spilling out of my car, so I pulled over and explained to them that this cover is CULTURALLY SUBVERSIVE.
A lovely cover of a lovely song.
He could pull out a crossbow and shoot the Big Show in the face.

“Political opposition forces are using new technologies to carry out public events – using toys with placards at mini-protests,” Andrei Mulintsev, the city’s deputy police chief, said at a press conference this week, according to local media. “In our opinion, this is still an unsanctioned public event.”

Mulinstev went on to admit that it was “pretty motherfucking adorable” and further commented “I mean just look at that penguin. Daaw.”
Things We Shouldn’t Need to Discuss At This Point.
If using a word which is not in any way critical to the meaning of your message* might cause offence to a large, long-opressed group of people**, just don’t use it!
The end!
——
*Your message is mostly how much you love Sherlock and how much you hate “One Direction” and how hot you think Ryan Gosling is and how weird you find the Lana Del Ray phenomena. Everyone has the right to a shitty blog, don’t worry.
**Which you sure as shit aren’t a part of, and apparently you kinda don’t understand at all? Do you really think we’ve “won” the war on racism, sexism or homophobia? Have you been outside today? Have you seen this fucking “internet” business? Jesus CHRIST, teenagers on Tumblr, stop being fucking idiots at every goddamn possible opportunity.
Slut” is how we vilify a woman for exercising her right to say “yes”. “Friendzone” is how we vilify a woman for exercising her right to say “no”.
So Pinterest is like tumblr

for every girl I went to high school with who enjoys syncing as many outside things to her Facebook as possible. I get it now.
On point.
Goddamn this is a great album and I am really, really looking forward to hearing lots of it live on Saturday.
I am heaven sent.
Don’t you dare forget.
I am all you’ve ever wanted,
what all the other boys all promised.
I am the cause to all your problems,
shelter from cold.
Coordinate brain and mouth
then ask me whats it like to have
myself so figured out.
I wish I knew.
This is war.
Every line is about,
who I don’t wanna write about anymore.
Hope you come down with something
they can’t diagnose, don’t have the cure for.
Holding on to your grudge.
Oh, its so hard to have someone to love.
And keeping quiet is hard,
‘cause you cant keep a secret
if it never was a secret to start.
At least pretend you didn’t wanna get caught.
We are entirely smooth.
We admit to the truth:
we are the best at what we do.
And these are the words you wish you wrote down,
this is the way you wish your voice sounds,
handsome and smart.
Oh my tongue’s the only muscle on my body
That works harder than my heart.
Wouldn’t stop if I could,
oh, it hurts to be this good.
You’re holding on to your grudge.
Oh, it hurts to always have to be honest
With the one that you love.
So let it go.
This is the grace that only we can bestow.
This is the price you pay for loss of control.
This is the break in the bend.
This is the closest of calls.
This is the reason your alone,
This is the rise and the fall.
We’re concentrating on falling apart.
We were contenders, we’re throwing the fight
But I just wanna believe in us.
