OH, PLEASE. YOU’RE NOT LOOKING AT ME SO HARD YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE STARING.
DON’T FIGHT IT, GIRL. I TURN HEADS LIKE A TAPE DECK.
Owen Pallett performing a cover of Bloc Party’s “This Modern Love” at The Great Hall on 11.Jan.06.
I think I spend a solid 25% of my life crying. This would be closer to ok if I were a pretty cryer; you know, with perfect tears streaming from shiny eyes, and a slightly pouted lower lip. Conversely, my face goes all blotchy, my tears collect under my eyes then flow straight into my mouth and my sobs sound as ladylike as a wounded elk.

The 5-year-old girl who lives in my soul just cried with happiness at this.

This actually annoys me more than I can describe in 140 characters. I think anyone who has ever made Wikipedia their bitch or settled a bet on their iPhone knows that the internet is an amazing place where knowledge is free and dreams come true. And those dreams frequently involve 80s commercials, hard to determine lyrics, and Judge Reinhold’s filmography. Even songs that drive you crazy are no longer a mystery if you have Shazam. I heard you can even find out about (gasp) politics and international news! I know, not as exciting as who produced Thong Song (trick question, it was produced by immaculate conception), but the point remains: you can find out anything online!
It’s amazing what you can do on the internet. And that’s why I’ll never understand why it’s a lot of people’s first instinct to go online and essentially brag that they don’t know anything. “Who is Bonnie Bear?” “Who is Paul McCartney?” It’s not even like the people tweeting that want to know who those two artists are. They’re essentially saying “I didn’t know who this was, so it might as well be totally irrelevant.” And you know what? Fuck that mentality! Fuck you if you’d rather glorify your own ignorance. They even had the words “Bon Iver” displayed on the screen during the Grammys. That means that people CHOSE to disregard information that was readily available in front of their eyeballs and spell it wrong because they wanted to look cool.
Hey, tiny asshole teenagers, I get it. I was young once. I wanted to look cool. But you know what I did? I wore vintage t shirts that didn’t fit me very well. That’s it’s own kind of ignorance, but it’s a lot less aggressive than bashing something you’re not aware of. I GET that Paul McCartney is not sexy 20 yr old. But guess what? He was in the Beatles, and even the most disgusting, talent-impaired pseudo musician that you love has heard of/listened to/been influenced by the Beatles.
Idiots, by now you’ve probably either tuned out, started texting, or gone looking for a way to comment “GAY!” If not, here’s the point: GOOGLE has ONE LESS letter in it than TWITTER. It takes even less physical effort to go to a site where you can literally look up ANYTHING than a site where you can tell everyone how you’re too good know what anything is. You can fight ignorance! You can save humanity! And you can do it one Youtube viewing of a “Beth/Rest” performance at a time.
