“Don’t justify shit by saying it was once food”

Me, after Jake suggested that I needed to hear the earlier albums of Kings of Leon to realize they don’t suck. Yes, I do feel like a philosopher ahead of his time. (via monsterbeard)
It’s too early in the morning (just past midday!) for me to tolerate this sort of self-indulgence, so I’m going to retort. Saying Kings of Leon suck because you hated Only By The Night (I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt here, even though you’ve probably only heard Sex On Fire and Use Somebody) is like saying The Academy Is… suck because they released Fast Times At Barrington High, that Razorlight suck because they released Razorlight, that The Hold Steady suck because of Heaven Is Whenever. A lot of amazing bands put out a shitty record every now and then, and when that album happens at the height of their popularity, that’s the only album a lot of people hear and judge them on. Doesn’t change the fact that they’ve put out excellent records previously, and that they could put out excellent records once again.
Aha Shake Heartbreak and Youth And Young Mahood are both excellent records, and sound nothing like “Sex On Fire”. You can’t invalidate achievements of the past with failures of the present. Not in music, at least.

It’s Eighties Thursday.
In the near future, we will decide our romantic partners on Last.FM music compatibility. We’re all defined by our tastes, might as well embrace it. “Do you like Jay-Z, Kings of Leon, The Smiths, Arctic Monkeys and Passion Pit?” “Yes.” “Excellent, let’s fuck.”
Dirt nap, mothafuckahhhh.
“Why does everything have to be fun to be worthwhile? Crick and Watson have discovered the double helix. Did they do it on a skateboard? No. Well fuck off then, I’m not interested.”
The cinematography in Peep Show is so different but makes it so much better than it would be with a more typical style.
Vera Filatova’s eyes are totally like “I wanna fuck, right now” eyes. Is that a little bit… I don’t know… rapey to say?
“I don’t wanna tempt fate, but I think everything’s going to be totally great forever.”
“Are… are you in a bathroom?”
— Yes Jack. In a girl’s bathroom, no less! It’s exactly like we’d always dreamed: Wild fruits, glistening floors, and the subtle aroma of fuchsia.
Scandalous rumours from Tina Fey.
Sometimes, y’know, in life, you enter a period where it seems like everything is unmanageably uncertain. Your future, your relationships with other people, your reason for getting out of bed in the morning. Today, I exited that period, and for the first time in a lawwwwwng time, I just feel good.

Watching Mean Girls with the commentary on. It’s bitchier than the film.
