Signed Papercuts - Nothingness Ep

I should have known
that an ep with such
horrible cover art
would prove to be great.
of course.

all jokes aside,
this is yet another
amazing Cloudberry
release.

that label is so consistently
awesome, it makes me rethink
my disgust with the trash swamp
that is florida.

Merchant Ships - Shipsography

ungh.
so good.

i love that they
intentionally excluded
tracks 1-3, which represent an early demo
that they don't like anymore.

keep an eye out for a
new full length.

Skies Of Ember - Endless Swoon

i hate bongos.
really, any hand drums
are the worst.

however,
this album is still great,
dark and sad,
despite one song's use of
those monstrosities.

Hatifnats – Before It Is Too Late

I am always wary of
artists described as
"alternative,"
a term which recalls
classically terrible bands
like creed.

however,
polish "alternative" outfit
Hatifnats is more on the
shoegaze side of things and
certainly the
"does not suck" side as well.

thank god.
the last thing i want to hear
is a shoegaze creed.

The Hit Parade - The Sound of the Hit Parade

alright.
do not worry,
everything is working again,
at least for the moment,
at least the important stuff
(stumbleupon.)
How can i be expected
to navigate this world
without a tour guide?
Come on.

as i often do,
i had decided that i would post this
when listening to it driving.
However, unlike my typical behavior,
i am actually posting it.
i needed to let the world know
that i had gotten things back in order
and this seemed like an appropriate album
to accompany such great news.
just look at that orange
sweater wearing, pasty,
pog playing putty
on the cover.

he definitely loves pogs.

The Sea Urchins - Stardust

let us keep it poppy i guess.
this album rules.
it is certainly more mellow
than my previous post today,
but still loaded with
off key melodies.

who cares about
shimmering production anyways?
ill tell you who:
loser jerks and
people who eat farts for breakfast.

Robotosaurus is a

mastery of grammar.
