Happy Black Friday Caroline Polachek

[sus]

- The way this need can lead to self-sabotaging (b/c at least then the matter's certain)
not sure if i've ever deliberately messed things up with my favourite indie pop singer, by stupidity many times but not deliberately

You don't feel like you've ever taken some unusually risky move out of an attitude like, "Well, if it doesn't work, at least I can move on with my life"?

this sounds like something rabit would remix on one of the chopped and screwed tapes.
it bangs, not sure what's the problem with it apart from the original speed perhaps

who said there is a problem with it?

I Love Dick is a big entry in crush theory, come to think of it.

Romeo & Juliet is probably the best-known example.

But it goes back to pastoral romances in the Roman times

 

[luka]

it's the opening song on the greatest mix of all time

not out of that attitude no!

itt could be pigeonholed in the same indie fem songwriting drawer as polachek but I think I can even enjoy her music at times (not necessarily a songwriting fan, me)



I can only talk about moods because I never listen to lyrics in songs - just realised my possible contributions to this topic are mostly rather irrelevant

Thats something thats not taught- that a romance can ruin your life. I feel at least half the people I know have had that happen to them

you got any details, financial ruin, hasty marriage, or what

Thats something thats not taught- that a romance can ruin your life. I feel at least half the people I know have had that happen to them

and the other half are about to have it happen to them

itt serious middle aged people cannot swallow up the youths belief in transgressive factor of pop music
(i dont believe it either but it is this generation's thing)

Im a virile young man just like suspended. I can get down with the thread conceptually I just think polachek is shit

i think the problem here is the word theory.... you want to talk about what its like to be infatuated with someone... there's no need for a 'theory' lol

big tits are fundamentally un-indie

I actually get angry and depressed just thinking about it. Like when we were talking about contemporary bar and eatery aesthetics

this is her only good thing I know of

@luka how would you describe the type statistically derived from your crushes?
everyone knows about nyu students suffering from the main character syndrome, but I wonder what was the persona everyone tried to get into in london ten years ago

 

[linebaugh]

this is an indie poptimist song I like because it doesnt seem afraid of its own presence

 

[woops]

amen.
