Okay, seriously, do you like weird grungy synth-pop? Weird grungy synth-pop with lady vocals and a fucking pounding beat? What about weird grungy synth-pop with lady vocals, a pounding beat, and rap? You do? Yes? YES????? Well then oh shit, but you had better go download yourself from Sleigh Bells. I know nothing about this band other than the fact ( Read more... )

You can learn a lot about someone by the music they listen to. So here's the game! Hit shuffle on your iPod/iTunes or mp3 player and write down the first 25 songs. No cheating or skipping songs that are shameful.  Otherwise known as: Blame yeats.

Ugh, guys. I feel like I've spent all of my days off doing stressful things and then work is just more stressful and sometimes I feel like there's a big joke happening that I don't get because I'm actually the butt of it.

I also refolded all of the drawers in my dresser and lit a candle. PRODUCTIVITY, HOW I MISSED THEE. It's strange that some days I can barely get out bed and basically ( Read more... )
