This is getting rather sad… Just like last night, I thought I’d listen to one or two more songs before I go to bed, so I put on Take Pills. Of course, this means Bros comes on next (gotta listen to all that), then I’m Not (more like I’m Not turning this song off amiright?!), then Good Girl/Carrots (No fucking way I’m missing out on 12 mins of non-stop Panda Bear...
I guess she’s just in to older dudes
Said to myself that I was going to go to bed but then had a sudden urge to listen to Flesh Canoe. Of course, then The Purple Bottle came on, followed by Bees and then Banshee Beat, which there’s no chance of me turning off. So now half an hour later I’m actually going to bed. This will probably happen all over again in 5 minutes

MGMT
Ok I’m gonna have to listen to MGMT, everyone is saying I should so I plan on listening to them TONIGHT!
Circular Arguments on Discrimination
I’ve spent the past hour defending myself from people who you would swear I had insulted. While I was perfectly happy to have a civilized argument over the whole discrimination thing, nearly every person opposing me has chosen to resort to bitter name-calling, snide remarks and the Gruber Retweet move I mentioned in the previous post. However, among the few people I have had proper...
On Positive Discrimination
Last night I got involved in a small debate over Twitter on the topic of racism and sexism in design conferences. The debate was started by a few tweets posted by Mike Monteiro (@Mike_FTW) which said, in essence, that if you are organizing a conference and all of the speakers are men, it is the conference organizer’s moral obligation to get rid of some men and replace them with women JUST...
I should probably listen to MGMT, it seems that most Animal Collective fans love them so I’d probably like them a lot too. Should I?
I’m going through a phase where I listen to nothing but Animal Collective… Again

PANDA BEAR: On the Tomboy Groove Messages →
fuckyeahpandabear:
The Tomboy vinyl has etchings on the grooves of Side A and Side B.
Side A reads:
Can I call you a car?
Side B reads:
I’m a notorious coat wearer.
Sonic Boom, who produced Tomboy, sometimes posts on Collected Animals, the Animal Collective message board. On the etchings:

Me playing My Girls in Garage Band on my iPad for fun. I know, I’m very cool.
Putting music I like on is the only way I get through dinner with my family these days. At the moment we’re listening to The Avalanches, next up is Teen Dream by Beach House, then Seven Swans by Sufjan Stevens and finally Campfire Songs by Animal Collective. I think they should mix well

Listening to In Rainbows on vinyl and it’s honestly like hearing it for the first time. I’m at Reckoner now and just remembering how much I love everyone of these songs is amazing :)
I’ve decided on Illinois and Madvillainy, turns out I can actually afford 2, good choices?

I can afford to order one last record, what should it be?
I was considering buying Fleet Foxes s/t album because you can get it on eBay with Sun Giant EP and MP3 downloads for both for $20, any better suggestions?
Forgot to Listen to Campfire Songs
FML. I’m going to have to listen to all their early albums separately now
Think I’m going to listen to Animal Collective’s discography. I’m not really in the mood for anything from Danse Manatee and Here Comes The Indian, but who knows maybe later. Just finished Sung Tongs and am now on to Feels :)

Resisting the urge to listen to tomboy again before I get a physical copy is proving to be VERY challenging
