NOTES
- Old Wounds is badass. So is Knelt Rote.
- I thought "So" was gonna be alot better than it is
- The upcoming Crisis Arm EP is gonna be awesome
- That Roky Erickson album had like a million songs but it was good. I regret missing his set at FYF, my friend described it as "some old guy having an aneurysm." Sounds awesome.
- For some reason I thought Soul Search was gonna be like a posicore band. Not so much.
- I just don't really get the appeal of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
- "I'm just looking for one divine hammer"
- I'm definitely among those who was severely disappointed upon hearing the new MBV album. Sorry.
