Rooting for Sanch and AngryCandy

Believe in yourselves

 

I have to leave for work in a minute and I’m still naked

 

good answer

 

so you post instead of getting dressed hahaha. You are me.

 

go to work naked coward

 

I will not accept this. Grizzly Bear was Foxing before Foxing was Foxing.

 

Do you really need to be clothed there tbh? Aren’t clothes optional in California?

 

What do you think this place is ?

 

I don’t even know what this means Randall

 

The Fucc Store TM.

 

Cancelled

 

Haha, they were also a band that writes intensely diverse indie-rock / indie-folk that uses all kinds of symphonic instruments and had a very different approach to vocals

 

The same way that people say you haven't truly heard Foxing until you've seen them live, Grizzly Bear is like that.

Chris Bear will literally use a looper to create 4-5 part woodwind / brass parts live. Like, he picks up a bass clarinet and plays it into a mic, loops it... then puts that down and quickly grabs the flute, loops that... etc etc. Never seen that before. Sufjan Stevens doesn't even do that.

And ALL THREE vocalists are amazing. Best 3-part harmonies I've ever seen live. God damn they were good.

 

If God had a name what would it be?
And would you call it to his face?
If you were faced with Him in all His glory
What would you ask if you had just one question?
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
And yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home?
If God had a face what would it look like?
And would you want to see if, seeing meant
That you would have to believe in things like heaven
And in Jesus and the saints, and all the prophets?
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
And yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home?
Just tryin' to make his way home
Like back up to heaven all alone
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
And yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin' to make his way home?
Just tryin' to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just tryin' to make his way home
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome

 

They were also a band whos boring because James sent me a playlist and I didn’t even listen to 10% of it before I deleted it and made my decision that makes him mad

 

Your loss sucka

 

I will say that Grizzly Bear takes patience to listen to. Some of their songs are slow moving, some of them start out slow but then have epic climaxes, etc.

So I'm actually not that surprised when people think they're boring... but if you actually give it an honest chance the powerful sections make the slower sections make more sense in context and you appreciate the big picture

 

But, dammit, Foxing can be like that too. The second half of Dealer just draaaags and drags. "Indica" is a 5 minute, minimalistic, repetitive song that goes absolutely nowhere. Gotta be in the mood for it to listen to the whole thing.

 

I love how I saw a news article announcing that Disneyland’s Marvel land is coming and using a picture of Spider-Man.

when Disney doesn’t even own the rights to Spider-Man in theme park use.

 

Welp, moment of truth. Here's to great final game @DarkHotline

 

Ready to go to bed at 8:23 PM.
