Once a day I want you to load up one whole album on an iTunes playlist, and I want you to sit and listen to it from beginning to end, without skipping a single track, and then once it has finished playing I want you to sit in silence for five minutes and consider how that music has impacted you emotionally.

We should listen to music how our parents listened to it.

If we stop listening to albums as a cohesive experience, then bands will stop making effective experiences for us to enjoy. If we stop connecting to bands emotionally, and instead only connect to single songs, then we will sooner or later stop loving music altogether.

Green Day- American Idiot, Warning, 21st Century Breakdown, Dookie, Insomniac
Brand New- The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me, Deja Entendu, Daisy
Nirvana- Nevermind, In Utero
Marilyn Manson- Antichrist Superstar, Holy Wood, The High End of Low, Born Villain
My Chemical Romance- Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, The Black Parade, & Danger Days
DRUGS- DRUGS
Chiodos- All’s Well That Ends Well, Bone Palace Ballet, Illuminaudio
Wren- Nostalgia
Taking Back Sunday- Louder Now
The Faceless- Akeldama, Planetary Duality
Behemoth- The Apostasy, Evangelion

These are all the albums I can’t listen to single songs from. I’ve listened to the whole so many times that it legitimately fucks with my head when the right song doesn’t start playing after any given song. With ‘American Idiot,’ it fucks with my head when I don’t hear the album start over, I’ve listened to it so many times.

My two goals as a musician, that I learned from experiencing albums rather than songs: to give new life to the art form of the album, and to give life to an art form that hasn’t been attempted- the discography. Just like I don’t treat songs like isolated incidents, I don’t want to treat an album like one, either.

I’ve figured out why I fail at tumblr.

One, I don’t follow that many people. I just don’t, because I don’t know that many people with blogs that are worth following. Or any IRL friends that use tumblr, either, for that matter.

I don’t have a lot of followers because I think that a blog that consists 90% of reblogs beats the purpose of blogging, because you’re deriving the identity of YOUR blog from OTHER people’s posts. To an extent, that’s fine, and I do reblog things I really like.

But I think if you’re not creating more original content than you reblog, you’re not doing it right. And I’m too lazy to create good content on a regular basis. It just isn’t rewarding for me. Or most people here, I guess.

I do get a few lols here and there from it, though, so just because I fail at it, I won’t stop checking it out every now and then.

Oh yeah, and putting tags on posts is fucking annoying, but it’s really the only way for people to find your stuff.

I decided to write a letter to Congress today. 

Part of me really wants to send this with my return address on it. Fuck ‘em if they arrest me.

Most everything Fall Out Boy wrote sucks, Pete Wentz is a douchefag, and Patrick Stump is way too full of himself.

But Jesus fuck, ‘Dance, Dance’ is a good song.

ILL!!!!

 Now ask the artist for the rights, slap your logo on it, and make that a t-shirt.

Just a thought- I’d wear the shit out of a t-shirt that had this on it.

Well take me, take me back to your bed
I love you so much that it hurts my head
Say I don’t mind you under my skin
I’ll let the bad parts in, the bad parts in
When we were made we were set apart
Life is a test and I get bad marks
Now some saint got the job of writing down my sins
The storm is coming, the storm is coming in

You’re brought back but you’re running
I’ll find sleep in the end tonight
I can’t shake this little feeling
I’ll never get anything right

Personal indulgence- this song coupled with New Year’s Eve has significance for me.

A note on closure- “Well you’re never gonna find it if you’re looking for it. It won’t come your way.”

Peanut butter burger- starts off like ‘OMG THIS IS AWESOME.’ Four bites later you cough it up and wonder what madness possessed you to think it might have been a good idea.

I’m just kidding, I know exactly what madness possessed me- I was really high.

I’ve been looking at other confession blogs and some of them have the rudest followers ever. I am so happy that all of you are amazing and share a love for Daria :D

To whoever runs this blog- I hope the irony of polite Daria fans isn’t lost on you.
