Lovely and Stubborn and Brave: Lemme tell you... →

lovelystubbornbrave: You know what? I like feeling pretty. I do. Maybe that’s my shameful submission to the patriarchy and I’m not perfect at resisting the influences of misogynist mass culture, but it’s a fact of my life, and certainly most of the lives of teenage girls such as myself. And we all know it’s bad that… Killing it, Sarah.

I wrote about this song over here and now it has a video. I realized that their singer almost has a Joanna Newsom vibe going on.

Mortified: A conversation between me and my sweet,...

Him: Hi, sweetheart! Hey - it's been really loud upstairs lately and I'm having trouble sleeping
Me: Oh, I'm so sorry, I'll try to be quieter and I'll let my roommates know too
Him: Well, it's just from your room - do you have a boyfriend who comes over at night or something?
Me: [realizing what he's talking about] I AM SO, SO SORRY! My bed is so squeaky, I know, I'm sorry!
Him: No, no, it's OK, I'm jealous! It's just so strong and it wakes me up after I go to bed
Me: THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING OH MY GOD, I'm so sorry, I'll try to keep that in mind
Him: Thank you! Goodnight!
Me: Bye! Sorry! [Walk upstairs into apartment]
Me: [Now wondering if I'll ever be able to get over this conversation]
Me: [Or if I'll have to become celibate until I move out]
Me: [Ten minutes later; still mortified]

“Bands can be brands or concepts that can be summed up in a line or two—...”

– Mark Richardson, in the fantastic last paragraph of his Destroyer review. I finally listened to the album and it completely won me over. Though the sound of this album can be taken both ironically and seriously, I think Bejar is trying to get us to move past the irony and appreciate that this music...

– the first paragraph of “the most e-mailed New York Times article ever,” by David Parker at The Awl. (Never miss an opportunity to razz Brand X.) Crazily, we just read this piece as well. Like, seconds ago. It is basically perfect. (via gq) We did, also. Jaws have been on the floor over this...
