This came on the radio today and I can’t remember where I first heard this (it says it came out 89), but it brought back some sort of memory.
Oh and it’s not ‘boom, boom’…it’s PUM PUM

See Andrew, even the internet doesn’t even know what Toro Y Moi are singing about.
He never was to come
He never would apologize
(Incomprehensible)
Isn’t understood
Keep standing wasted
I’m getting behind
I think I’ll die
Before I’m Done
Done
- Do people in Los Angeles not like bagels? It’s a breakfast: throw some butter on it. It’s a lunch: Throw some turkey on it. It’s a dinner: throw some sauce and cheese on it. As I was eating my boring sandwich, I was wishing there was a Bruegger’s here. I would like a herby turkey ( Roasted turkey, light herb garlic cream cheese, sundried tomato spread, lettuce, & red onions) softwich please.
- I’m all for listening to music while you work, but I’m also for volume control. If you are going to lower the volume, make sure you lower it some more because I can still hear it. Also, there are songs I play on repeat, usually when I’m alone because that is by definition annoying. As I am typing this, the song (Gotye feat. Kimbra) came on for the fifth time today. “Hey, you really like this song,” I said. “Yeah. I can’t get enough,” he said. Yes, I can hear that.
I’ve talked about my friend’s sketchy music choices before here. I was listening to an old mix that I made and I hadn’t heard most of the songs in a minute. Weird Fishes/Areppi came on and I practically freaked out because I forgot that I loved this song. (Yes, I actually forgot that I loved it). I was thinking, when you love a song and you play it for someone and they are ‘eh’ about it, don’t you want to shake them? Like how can they not hear the musical genius? Can’t they hear the overall amazingness of this song?! It’s the same frustration I imagine a baby feels when he/she can’t talk and wants to tell someone that they need something so they just bounce and around and cry. The only difference is that the baby probably needs one of his/her basic needs met and I just want you to love this song as much as I do.
but I will judge your taste in music. There are two types of people: People who love good music and people who think they like good music (and then the people who pretend to like good music, so three).
1. People who love good music. There is nothing more I need to say…you know who you are.
2. People who think they like good music. If you know all the songs on the radio and can sing along to everything on VH1’s Jump Start raise you hand. Now take a seat. This goes out to my roommate who doesn’t read blogs so I’m in the clear. He listens to mainstream pop music ONLY. I can break that down even further…Mariah, Whitney, Mary and The Fray. I can jam those artists too, but those are appetizers you know? After a few bites you get nauseous. Main course please. I think this is why he hates riding in the car with me because I control the radio, which is why I hate riding in the car with him…you can only listen to Mariah Carey The Remixes album so many times.
3. People who pretend to like good music. These people may actually be the worst. At least type #2 admits that they have no desire to expand their musical horizons. These people may hear a song on the itunes commercial and say, “I just heard the best new band…Phoenix.” Sit down. Number #3’s are easily found out. For example:
Do you like Bright Eyes?
-Yes
Favorite song?
-Um, Lover I Don’t Have to Love
What’s your favorite Conor Oberst song?
-Who??
and we’re done.
