...and that first year, when people asked why I wanted to go to Bonnaroo, I gave a lot of half-truthy reasons about really liking the lineup and wanting to experience something new. Really I just wanted to smoke a fuckton of pot in a nearly consequence-free environment.

- My first real concert that I remember was Matchbox 20. My mom was a huge fan and had tickets but someone bailed and I was forced to go with her. I sat the whole time. I still tell people that my first real concert was The Dead (which was the first concert I saw after actually getting into music).
The first concert I saw was Busted, but I just tell people it was AC/DC.
I came out to a friends last week... as a belieber. There are too many songs that I hear now that I think are decent > good and then I find out they are Bieber.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

And I love this song. A lot.
The entire album he came out with last year is good. Idc how many producers it took to make it good. It's a great album and I've listened to it in full more than a couple times. No need for a confession, this just be how it is now.

I am listening to it for the first time now based on this! I don't like radio dancey pop type music and I always thought that was his style, so I don't think I ever paid attention. It wasn't Bieber specific hate.

It definitely still has some of those poppy dance tunes, like "what do you mean", but that song to me is such a fun jam to get down to. Another song you might not like is children, but that's another one I get down to. It has a real RnB type feel to it. I hope you enjoy it.

i'm so proud. in related news, i just received an email from spotify offering me special zayn related extras because i am "one of his biggest fans on spotify."

I just listened to the Deluxe version on Spotify, which the last song is an acoustic version of What Do You Mean? I really like this version, but as a whole the album was still too dancey poppy to be too high on my list. It wasn't bad though.

I think I killed Phife Dawg guys. I'm not trying to make a joke. I may be partially responsible for the death of Bowie too. About two years ago, late July or in early August, I was sitting on my deck and decided to watch Robin Williams: Weapons of Self-Destruction as it was something I always got a good laugh at, especially when I watched it with my Pops and my best friend for the first time. While watching it I realized how much joy Robin Williams had brought to me throughout my entire life, how he made me laugh as a kid with all his ebullient and also inspiring roles he had in the movies I grew up on. I thought for a moment about how sad I would be if he were to die and how that seems almost impossible because of his impact on me. I cried while watching his stand-up just thinking about it. Maybe a week or two later, I'm sitting in psychology class, and someone makes the announcement that he had passed and I thought it was just one of those bullshit click-bait titles on the article and I didn't believe them. Of course to check it's validity I went to Reddit, and it was unfortunately true. I cried like a bitch for two days almost because this immortal flubbery grandma genie who siezed the day had left the world I live in. That day I should have realized I have a super-power, albeit I wouldn't call it super as that is more of a positive connotation.
December 20th this year, I'm visiting a buddy in Dallas for the Cowboys game, we get to talking about music, so in my drunken stupor I make the confession that although I know who David Bowie is, and I love him dearly for what he has done and the people he has influenced, I never listened to songs of his save for all of his many hits, but never albums in full. I remember getting back from Dallas around Christmas time to read an article about why David Bowie had the potential to headline Bonnaroo because his new album would be released soon and knew that was fate for me to start listening to all of his music, and so I did. I listened to two or three albums of his, and really started to enjoy his music moreso than I ever could. I felt like what I can only imagine a deaf person feels when they get cochlear implants and can hear sound for the first time. Then of course that inevitable thought of "What if he died" came to me because for people like him that matter, their mortality and the global footprint they will leave on society and on myself is what entices me. Maybe two days later I wake up to shower, whilst pooping I'm on my phone and read the headline saying David Bowie had dropped Blackstar so I started listening to it and then while listening to it reading that he had passed. I hadn't felt so discombobulated about hearing news since the passing of homeboy Robin Williams. Though the feelings of loss were the same, I didn't feeling like blaming myself, perhaps it was the denial I've inherently lived with my whole life. Hell I even listened to two full Motorhead albums to get into them (because I couldn't understand the appeal) not even two weeks before Lemmy died, but I didn't really like Motorhead so that one didn't matter as much.
Now as for Malik the five-foot freak, I can only blame myself. You see, when I was into backpack rap like atmosphere, jedi mind tricks, and Del-tron etc.(I still am, but I used to be too) I listened to them on Pandora. Tribe would always come on in the rotation, and I was immediately a fan I soon as I heard that cool laid-back beat on Electric Relaxation. I checked out other songs by them like Award Tour, Bonita Applebum, Left My Wallet in El Segundo, and of course Can I Kick It. I loved their music, it was what appealed to me the most about hiphop, when I started listening to Nas when I was in sixth grade. During the album draft, someone selected Low End Theory by them and I knew exactly what I wanted to listen to in that moment. In fact for the first time, I put on Midnight Marauders and listened to it in full was about 3 weeks ago. The album blew me away, I've listened to it 10 times since and later included it in my draft. I explored all of their albums and really understood for the first time their critical acclaim. Tribe made me feel united with my young self again, before the maladies of addiction took hold. Before anything really mattered at all. I felt ashamed for becoming aware of them so late in the game, but I thought, "hey, they're still kicking, I'll get to see them again, what's the chance they will die anytime soon based on how old they were." That thought did it though.
My thoughts can kill people who were at one point important in my life, but have since become obscure. It's when I take them out of that obscurity and realize all they had done for me and how hurt I'd be by their passing, that my higher power seems to take them out of my life. I don't want this power, this is the equivalent of being the Flash and blasting through life with insurmountable amounts of speed, not ever being able to just take something in and enjoying it for what it is. This is no super power, it's a curse and I hate it. I want to be able to use this power for good, but I don't know where to start. This can't be all by coincidence.
I confess that I've been partially planning my Roo schedule around going to the Bryson Tiller show.
But it's because my sister wants to see him, so at least I've got that going for me. Maybe it won't be packed since there's much better stuff going on.

It's okay you do you hunnybunny. No need to make excuses. We'll still love you.
Granted, that love will come from the other side of the farm, but it'll be there.

The worst part is that I can't. I love Kid A and The Bends so logically I should also love OK Computer, but every time I listen to it I only think "hmm yep this is still okay but I'm still not having the same reaction everyone else does to this album." I do really like "No Surprises" though.
I'm with you on that, though that absolutely doesn't help your case in the court of Inforoo public opinion. I was never really into Radiohead because I used OK Computer as an entry point for them and never really got into it. But Kid A became a top-ten favorite album for me not too long after the first time I heard it (which was just last year), and after digging around their discography a bit I came back to OKC hoping that I would appreciate it differently after being more familiar with their sound, but it just doesn't do it for me. I do like a few of the songs on there but just don't feel about it the way most people do.
