Patrick Stump: WE LIKED YOU BETTER FAT:... →
nervousbreakdance:
There’s this really nice piece at underthegunreview.net by Jacob Tender that a friend forwarded me today. It’s about how important Fall Out Boy’s album “From Under the Cork Tree,” was to him. After reading it though, nostalgic and well-written as it was, I really found myself more depressed than anything. It’s a complicated feeling, one that I’ve been incapable of explaining...

ProtoVoyage II →

DOWNLOAD.LISTEN.REBLOG.REPEAT.
Here is the follow up to the ProtoVoyage EP from September 2011. Continuing the tradition of trying to reach in all possible directions at once, this is an intentionally directionless collection of songs that represent the many sides of my schizophrenic taste in music. Don’t be surprised when listening, if one minute you feel like you’re lounging on...

best albums I heard for the first time this week
Phonophani - Genetic Engineering - much more ambient and less frenetic than Kreken, the only other Phonophani album I’d heard, which makes it much easier to hold on to, but they’re both totally different and equally great in different ways. I don’t know if they’re vocoded or straight-up computer generated or what but I love the way the vocals slide in and out of the...

Dear dude on the train with four wallet chains,
joshmordecai:
Exactly how many wallets do you have? If the answer is less than four, yr doing it wrong. If the answer is actually four, yr also doing it wrong.
Love, dude who doesn’t understand fashion apparently.
I saw a girl today who looked around 13-14 years old or so wearing a clip-on raccoon tail. like, a realistic-looking raccoon tail clipped onto the belt-loop on the back of her...

– - Lucy, When Worlds Collide: Fandom and Male Privilege (via ceedling)
my mom kept her last name when she married my dad, so I grew up thinking that was the norm. I remember not really getting why so many women changed their names at marriage when I found out that that was the way it was, and I...

yo tumblr, anyone know anything about scoring/folding? specifically tools or methods that might take less than literally 5-10 minutes per sheet?

best albums I heard for the first time this week
German Error Message - After the Warmth - homemade folk music with unbelievable fullness and warmth. wish I could make stuff that sounds this rich. plus, it’s free (or however much you’d like to pay) on bandcamp, so go listen to it, ok?
Brainworlds/Plosive - Split LP - not sure if I dig Plosive’s side or not, but Brainworlds’s half could easily go on for twice as long and...

Steven R. Smith’s latest private-press LP, Old Skete, is, by far, his most personal-sounding solo guitar record, yet. Like, razor-blades-on-the-counter sad. Is that guy okay? Damn.

WatchSQUANTO - AARON (LIVE AT HOME)
I recorded myself playing a song at home again today. I don’t know how but it ended up being 20 minutes long. while I was playing I thought it was like 10 minutes tops. this is “Aaron” from Go Go Gadget Grass Stains. I thought I’d do this one since the way I play it live is pretty different from the version on the album. ANYHOO ENJOY
