“Any1 who knows abt the Dirty Projectors know that it is headed by Dave Longstreth, and he is basically like a cult leader who views himself as the ‘genius’ behind the band. He had actually been ‘trying to make it’ as a buzzband for a while, then he got 3 altbaguettes to join the band, and obviously they finally became popular because any1 wants to go see 3 premium alt hotties sing while they look cute, but at the same time it is kinda sad because when they sing with Dave, they kinda give off ‘brainwashed cult member’ vibes, as if they have been stuck as one of many wives in a polygamous cult for their entire lives’, having to marry their father, and give birth to children, but their children’s dad is also their grandpappy. Really weird vibes.”

I saw Bon Iver tonight.
I spent hours stressing over whether I could smuggle my DSLR in, and after strolling past the security and getting to a good spot with a barrier to lean on, saw an amazing show. My days. One of the best shows I’ve been to. But now I’ve come home and my SD card doesn’t want to work. I can’t get to any of the pictures or videos on my camera, and my computer won’t even recognise it.
Balls. Giant Balls.
