– How To Listen To Music (via jakec)
I just don’t see what we gain by assuming bad faith in what people say about their tastes. Usually it just serves to uphold the bankrupt assumptions those claiming falseness have about the music in question. (“You don’t really like it, though.”)

Guardian column day - this one’s about my ambivalence towards the new Fleet Foxes album, and ideas of consistency and comfort in pop.
Where I’ve obsessed over an album to the point of thinking ‘I just wish there was more tracks like this’ and then the artist’s next album was more of the same, it’s always been a disappointment. That I can think of. 00s...

The question “hold on, why are you paying attention to this stuff and not to that stuff?” is a) fundamental, b) often hard to ask politely, c) very much in the interests of the attention-payers not to answer.
I’m late to this party - and I’m sort of not getting into tumblr, so it’s vanishingly pointless of me to respond to this. The question is not fundamental at...

Swearing in front of the kids
Driving and a nob swerves in front of me without indicating.
Me playing badly on the Wii (“Balls” says Harry as we start playing Super Mario Bros)
Someone on the telly mentions Piers Morgan

How Twitter works
I RT’d an article link that Chris Addison tweeted, with a comment. He RT’d my tweet back about the comment. Chris Addison is now my best friend. FACT.

Since the release of the iPhone (possibly before)
Definitely before. It’s the iPod itself that was the turning point from the indie technology “Think Different” to the position of having “ipod headphones = sheeple” anti-iPod ads you got in the early/mid 00s.
Here’s how I see it. Apple made the transition successful by remaining very consistent with their...

The Doctor faces his greatest challenge yet – a flat share! People are disappearing on Aickman Road, and the Doctor must solve the mystery of a staircase that people walk up – but never down.
Awesome work Gareth. any fantasy stories featuring stairs or doors makes me think of Sapphire and Steel.
WatchLynch Mob! There’s a huge smell of Eraserhead (the film) in MGMT’s “Flash Delirium” video. This is literally the first of the new songs I’ve listened to BTW, so no idea if I’m gonna like this album as much as the first. I don’t watch many videos (ftb OLD MAN) but I was sold on this one by Idolator

“The short clip of the group playing Ticket to Ride, was taken from the BBC’s Top of the Pops programme, and features as part of the sequence where the TARDIS crew look at various events from history on the Time-Space Visualiser… so it has been removed from the [non region 2] edit”
negating the scene’s punchline/joke/point
so tumblr then
i started something i just couldn’t finish
better make it something else then. i’ve been directed to lots of stuff on tumblr lately, so time to jump back in, and hide the false start, eh?
