Matt pointed me at it and I downloaded it:http://thirdworlds.net/and me and the gal like it a lot! Might be a passing fancy but curious what ilxhivemind thinkslyrics are stone cold stupid but the energy is manic, the production is lo-fi punk shit and the ideas are omnivorously informed and twitching dash of aphex, little horrorcore, some industrial, some disco... aesthetically it's all over the place and scratches an itch i was not aware i wanted scratched?

My friend and I watched this from forks' inexplicable thread last night and she tried to download the mixtape but it made her browser crash when she used the internet at the same time. She said, "everyone's talking about this on facebook," and I said, " 'everybody'? How can it be everybody? This video only has 21,000 views and it's his most-viewed video," and she said, "okay, not EVERYBODY. Like two or maybe three people posted the video, "and I said, "still, that's pretty impressive when you consider the ratio of 21,000 to the population of the unites states. This is probably gonna get big. Like, indie big, maybe," and she said, "Yeah, maybe."

you put yourself in the same place as the other person, so they have nothing on you
It would have been shitty for the label to leak a record and cancel a tour without consulting the band first. The whole part of them going back to the label to try and talk about the second album - after they have dropped out of touring/promoting in the least respectful way possible almost has a George Costanza feel to it. Quitting a job and then going back to work the next monday hoping the boss will somehow just forget that you called them a pinhead.

i kindof feel like exactly these things that are being used itt to describe these guys as dicks are exactly why they are good. lack of responsibility. bailing out on the debts they said they would pay. its cathartic and refreshing. the deal was not the deal i thought it was. the fine print was unreadable. i wanted the money but not the job. this is how i feel, bypassing the beaurocracies that displace every responsibility. don't phone in sick because its a busy shift. i don't fucking care. its like epic records. standing on the balcony. i wish i could do that. i still have to fucking wait tables every night. i'm glad somebody can. standing teetering on the edge. two fingers. tie the cord, kick the chair and you're dead. if i call in sick its my fucking coworkers that take the brunt. this is it, the production of innocence. my boss is my best friend. we're all victims. there's something to be said for it. the album is so good as well. all uncontainable id. no love. deep web. wrapped up so tight i can't breath. i need something that punctures it. interrupts these notions of responsibility that are predicated on this particular handshake. i hope i can pay my rent this month.
