This was the first 4th of July where I didn't make even the slightest effort to see fireworks. Instead I just kind of drank a lot, which was a good thing, and now I'm celebrating American independence by listening to Swedish indie pop. Of course, all hail American hegemony for fucking every band in the world singing exclusively in English. I mean, their websites will be completely in Swedish aside from the English lyrics. Fucking wack.
I'm certainly all for speaking the 21st century lengua franca, but something seems a little awry when people don't even create art in their original language. Especially when it's completely obvious that they're never going to get mass international popularity anyway. Weird.
Oh yeah.
USA.
