this album cover is fantastic. It’s like when a movie trailer doesn’t give away the whole film. I have so many questions. What is that green sludge the baby is eating? Is the mosquito attacking the baby because of the sludge or did it get the jump on the baby because the baby was busy with the green sludge and didn’t notice the baby sized mosquito?! The sludge is labeled YYY’s so it’s obviously important! At first I thought maybe there was some kind of static shock going on because of the baby’s hair but it looks like there is either a fan off to the right of the image or more likely the left of the image is down relative to the action because some of the YYY’s green sludge is leaking out in the same direction the baby’s hair is falling, if that is true is this a mid-air battle?!

I have. Is that is a reference to BV that i am not getting?

Yes! and I was worried it would get a little brooklyn vegan-y without the voting system

you could google “where did the downvote button go?” but it probably wouldn’t get any hits. I just googled “sigur ros live” and got NOTHING so don’t bother trying that one either

really relatable lyrics about relationships and concise pop song structures

it’s probably because Morrissey is fucking amazing

Runner is amazing

In the context of a postal service song coming out of ben gibbard’s mouth that could mean something as gentle as kissing for an hour and then not getting a full 8 hours sleep.

Is this a new new song or a song or something left over from 10 years ago that is new to us?

It’s insane to assume that

Well I can appreciate being in a dark place and I certainly don’t mind you cursing at me if that is what you want to do or if that helps you in some way, though I am not trying to attack you I just felt like it was possible you were projecting some insecurities you might have about the relationship of drugs & music in your first comment because no one was saying that people who don’t take drugs can’t appreciate the music at the same level of someone who does but it seemed like that was maybe what you got from it.

It would be like a group of people watching a movie and eating popcorn and drinking soda and one of them comments on how much fun the experience of snacks and a movie is, that doesn’t mean that if you are not into popcorn you can’t watch and love the movie. Statements like that are purely subjective.

“I don’t mean to sound preachy, but I wasn’t aware drugs were a prerequisite to enjoy music in the first place”

I have seen (i am assuming) most of the same reviews that you have and while they reference drugs they never once imply that taking them is a prerequisite to enjoy it”. The period of time where most humans fall in love with music is around the same time some experiment with drugs and so for many people there is a link between the two but no one is saying they appreciate music or albums more for having taken drugs. Don’t let yourself feel so attacked/insecure.

Though you should know that if you take LSD you absolutely do experience music differently than when you are sober. Better/worse is kind of pointless to argue because it’s 100% subjective but you should know that it’s DEFINITELY different.

I don’t think you are allowed to say that you are not judging someone and then say that you no longer respect that person for the same action you claim not to pass judgement on

they are a trio

Well it was a joke about feeling old. No one on this thread has said anything snarky. No one is not thrilled about the news of this album

“soft as snow but warm inside” as a tramp stamp is probably funnier. I shouldn’t have rushed

I wasn’t double digits but I was alive and pretty deep into Creation Recs at that time. I got the pygmalion album cover tattoo’d on my calf when i turned 9.

this sentence ruined my night. Every MBV album has been released in my lifetime.

This is a different order than I would have picked!!!

It’s as close to a number as a symbol can be except for a lower case L

It’s crazy to think Michelle Williams from Dawson’s Creek was in this group.

I like this and I think she is talented

beaten at my own game!

I was going to ask if i was getting down voted because people didn’t think it was funny or because people didn’t get that it was sarcasm but I was scared of the answer.
