yesssssssssssssssssssssss.
When I moved to New York, I exclusively listened to Local Natives' four songs on MySpace, on repeat, for three weeks straight. There were no CDs to order, couldn't find anywhere to download tracks, and they only had streaming tunes available and the handful of songs available from their Daytrotter session a few months before. I sat in the tiny NYU dorm I was staying at until my lease started, perched over one of those wooden college desks in an uncomfortable chair with a blue, dirty cushion and listened over and over to "Airplanes" and "World News" while wishing I could fly back home and see them play in Midwestern barns on Daytrotter's tour.
It's been months and months, but I'm pretty sure I love their music just as much as I did then.
Much deserved, much enjoyed.

My Radio City tickets for Spoon came in an envelope inside a bubble mailer. You know, because four pieces of thick paper are really, really fragile.

John Mayer might be a cad, a womanizer, a douchebag, overly honest, attention seeking, racist, a loudmouth or whatever gossip blogs and magazines like to call him, but when it comes down to it, I'm a fan of what he has to say through his music and not through his Twitter. (Unlike everyone else, apparently.)
I don't condone what he said but I'm not interested in censoring him either, because when the guy is media-shamed into so much guilt that he breaks down in the middle of performing, it's gone too far. He's a guitarist, and a damn fine one at that, not a beacon of witty two-liners to brighten everyone's boring Twitter feed.
Only problem is, he didn't realize that either. The kid's got a side of personality, and he rode it, far. But when people keep nudging you and telling you you're funny, you're funny, you're real, you're honest, you're amusing...well, it pushes you to say outlandish things you usually wouldnt. He may have dug himself the hole he's in, but everyone else seems to have handed him the shovel.

Spent over an hour yesterday working on a post after studying the mouth structure of various blonde musicians proving Christina, Gaga, Goldfrapp and a few others to be out of the running, but because those commenters at Gorilla vs. Bear are so damn good, it looks like we found it out regardless.
Whew. Can't wait to hear what this will all turn into, though I gotta say I'm glad it's over - with all of the searching for jagged teeth, I was starting to feel like an really bad orthodontist.
