I needed to share, and for the moment am without a personal blog

"Just watched Hilary Duff have a three-some on Gossip Girl...all I could imagine was that LIzzie Maguire cartoon girl freaking out above their heads"


I fucking LOVE texts from last night so HARD.

Heathers - Here, Not There

This has been called the 'Good Tegan&Sara'
I'm gonna take issue with that for two reasons:
1) Just because T&S are gay, and the Heathers sound like the Indigo Girls (and therefore folkishly lesbian) (only better), does not mean we should compare them. I admit some similarities between v. early T&S and the Heathers but other than that, they're both pretty different NOW.
2) Just cause both bands are made of two girls who happen to be connected by genetix or someshit. C'mon, cack handed reviewers, even I can be less half assed than that. And I post like once a year, tops.

So if they DON'T sounds like T&S, better or not, what kind of tune-age DO they play? Pretty magificant stuff in all - it's acoustic, very well hamonised, but not the normal roughy punk acousticness Plan-It-X specialise in. It is, for better or worse, kinda female, and softer. Still awesome though, with catchy lyrics that can grab everyone in their widespread experience-yness.
The only issue is that track 1+3 are 5/5 amazing, and the rest are 4/5, maybe one or two flatline enough to be 3/5. But goddamn, those two tracks would make any butch ass kid ready to cry.
And the Indigo Girls aren't so bad are they?

The Avett Brothers - Emotionalism

It's like bluegrass country alternative indie rock grunge.
And a few other labels that I just forgot.
The most important ones're probably the bluegrass thing, and the grungy rock.
Maybe the indie rock thing, but what would that tell you?
Nothing, that's what.
This is my favourite album of theirs, despite the fact it isn't their first or second, or even their third. The first track is ridiculously good, but then the rest are just very good.
I'm gonna try up some stuff tomorrow, tho I'm not sure what, cause I've not been doin much downloadin of late.
