→ SCREAMS Sufjan Stevens performed with The National last night and I coulda bought tickets to go for it but I didn't because I thought 'oh, I've already seen The National earlier this year'. to be fair-- to be fair-- that wasn't advertised at all. for the best, I guess.

teehee you hipster you read Pitchfork (pretty much the Bible at my school) eh. ;) I saw that video posted on Pitchfork's Twitter and pretty much wailed/squealed/groaned. ALL MY LOVERS ON ONE STAGE MMM MATT BERNINGER ETC.

I've heard good things about Stornoway! They sound a lot like Fleet Foxes in this song. also Laura Marling's album is within the top 5 for best albums of 2010 in both NME and Q Magazine. SUCH TALENT SO YOUNG WHY.

speaking of snow, question re. next semester - I'm assuming people don't wear those puffy winter jackets even when it snows; will I be okay in my peacoat-like coat or (fake) leather jacket? I really don't want to bring my fat puffy jacket because it is RED like a DANGER SIGN and is also huge and...puffy (keeps me hella warm, though).

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR ESSAY; I finished one presentation 2 hours ago and now have a ton of Austen to read hurgh blergh nergh

eheheh I follow pitchfork's twitter! and when I see artists on it that I listen to I click. (same goes for NME, haha.) I've listened to two of the five top albums! I...have been saving Arcade Fire for a rainy day haha.

yeah kinda! it's a lot more the typical uk indie folk sound though, which means they sort of sound like all of noah & the whale, and mumford & sons, and johnny flynn, and fionn regan etc but...not quite. fleet foxes is delightfully distinctively jangly ♥ I don't think I actually can think of a band which really reminds me of them.

I JUST WORE MINE TODAY hahaha. yeah not everyone wears them but if it makes you warm then wear it! though you can just layer like mad. london doesn't really go below -5 degrees? I do love peacoats, though.

good luck with Austen :(
