Mini rant: snooty indie attitudes

I feel like I can actually write something now that I don’t have essays and presentations and language proficiency tests breathing down my neck. So sorry about the lack of writing. It hasn’t been hectic, I’ve just had other things to do. I’m kind of happy I prioritised work over blogging though in a way. Haha. Any normal person would do it the other way ’round. Anyways, yes, most stuff is now in and now all I have to do is sit and wait for my grades, and sit and wait for the exam schedule to update so I [...]

Happy Valentines Day!

Or more importantly,

恭喜發財

Happy Chinese New Year! I hope the Year of the Tiger brings you good fortune!

I’m starting off the new lunar year by watching Vampire Weekend perform at the Edinburgh HMV Picturehouse! Yay!

Edit I can also now proudly say that this is the 100th post for the site, and we’ve had over 1,000 views! Chances are the 1,000 views are due to 10 people, but that’s a-okay with me!

Thank you all! And here’s for a better and more exciting year ahead!

Peace [...]

I think this is the third time I’ve said that Contra comes out today in the UK. So yeah, hopefully you’ve gotten that message by now.

Contra is a good album, but it’s not great. And it’s definitely not as good as Vampire Weekend, their debut album. The already released songs, “Horchata”, “White Sky” and “Cousins” are really nice songs, but I don’t feel they really compare to “Walcott” or “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa” or “Mansard Roof”. That said, they do seem to stick to “their sound”, which makes Contra a continuation of what they’ve already [...]

Okay.

So I recently got myself a little radio. Well by that I mean it’s a radio and ipod alarm clock thing. So probably not a little radio. But whatever. Anyways, I’d been listening to Radio 1 so much (actually constantly, I’m not too sure why), I’d forgotten that I liked my taste in music. Haha. I was growing to like what’s in the charts right now. Which isn’t so bad, but I forgot that I’d much rather just sit down, read a book, and listen to the shit I’ve got on my computer. Which incidentally, isn’t shit.

Well, this [...]
