and bLESS MIRIAM

Sorry for taking so long to post these. :-/

5.) 5 albums you’ve listened to the most According to last.fm: 1. Franz Ferdinand – Tonight: Franz Ferdinand 2. Coheed and Cambria – Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness 3. Fall Out Boy – Infinity On High 4. Lady Gaga – Born This Way 5. Paramore – RIOT! …That was not at all what I was expecting.

10.) Do you like classical music? If so, who are your fav. composers? Oh, yes. The first composer to come to mind is Mozart, which is probably a bit cliche, but eh. Also, Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” is one of my favorite pieces.

15.) 10 overrated artists and bands from your fav. genresThis might sound pretentious, but I don’t like the term “overrated.” I think it’s often rooted in a lack of context for why an artist is so highly regarded, because that’s usually the people it’s thrown at (Elvis, Beatles, Dylan, etc.). Also, for me, it’s another example of people not wanting to recognize that differences in personal taste aren’t necessarily markers of objective quality. Like, I don’t like Bono’s voice, I find it grating, but that’s just my personal taste and not a mark against U2’s songs themselves. I hope this makes sense. I don’t have as much of a problem with the term “underrated,” but can see how that could easily slip into differences in taste as well. 

All that said, while I acknowledge her importance and influence, I really wish people wouldn’t act like Madonna is the end-all be-all of female singers. There are plenty of women who outshine her in terms of singing, musicianship, writing, and dancing and deserve acknowledgement as well. Yet people so often act like only one women is allowed to exist in a sea of dudes. It’s absurd. 

20.) Best show experience and worst show experienceI already answered this here, but another great show experience I’ve had was my second Franz gig at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn in late 2008. My friend Ariel and I were like a yard away from the stage, which was a far cry from the first Franz gig where we were in the boonies of the Tweeter Center. The really awesome thing (aside from the show itself) was that I’d won the tickets from the Franz fanclub, which was so bizarre to me. It still doesn’t compute. 

Jason Mraz was another so-so experience. This was just as he was turning boring, but that wasn’t the problem. Problem was, I’d completely underestimated how early most people would be to the show and we were just stuck in the far back of the venue. Add that to the fact that this show took place literally days after the Franz Brooklyn gig and unfair as it may be, it was all very underwhelming. 

omg he sounds like an angsty teen lol

don't they sell manic panic you could support your bae's mother's business

I got a D in Calc AB/BC but a 4 on the BC test. Maybe we're all better at calc than in a classroom setting? :) But still you did a fanfuckingtastic job and you should be proud of yourself. Definitely treat yourself tonight!

man calculus is fucked up

guess what math class i'm taking next semester :')

yeah man aziz ansari all da way

Good job!

thank you

omg but that calculus one is killing me

ayyy it okay you recognize that he’s problematic, you don’t ignore it or apologize for him

ahhhh yeah

bro

the loki fandom was a learning experience

slowly discovering my fave was problematic and then seeing people fervently defend him

still my fave

This and any other time he tweets something political like a link to a news article... I get the idea that he's a headline-only reader.

hmm could be

i do appreciate he takes at least some effort, and he has soooome degree of political knowledge
