There is an increasing need to be ahead of the curve, which reminds me of an old joke: "how many indie rockers does it take to change a light bulb? you mean you don't know?!?!"

The sad thing is that I don't even know where to begin to know something about music. I hate reading what other people write about music. I hate listening to new cds until like the ninth time through. How can I work through this deeply seeded ambivilence? And why is it cool to be a music snob? I still don’t know anything about music.

It was bad to be a witch during the Salem Witch trials (okay, probably the inquisition too, but you get my point). Coincidentally, Pitchfork reviewed Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah today- 9.0. Right now I'm really pissed off at that ego-bloated Billy Corgan. In high school he was my hero, now he takes out an ad in the Chicago Tribune the day he releases his (mostly unlistenable) solo album. Prick.

Everyone knows my favorite band is one of the most over-hyped of all time. However, does it count that I listened to the Beatles when I was 7?? Good to see this blog. Keep it coming. Some pictures, too? I can’t really comment on this phenomenon…
