daydream nation

it's going to go to the top of the box office charts like a goddamn silver rocket, i tell ya!

Would actually be kinda cool if it was about mike watt trying to help thurston find his shit

Thurston and Watt Go To Providence
i'd buy a ticket

That movie is sure to be total trash

DN is neither wildly varied and experimental, like sister (i guess they saved the experiments & jokes for the whitey album and master-dik), nor intimate and haunting like evol. instead, it's towering, impenetrable, and very tightly controlled. the songs only wander when they intend to make a point of their wandering, the band lyrics only occasionally crack a smile, and it's very hard to tell quite what it's all about. it's easy enough to catch a few seemingly key phrases in each song, but they're slippery and oblique. the lyrics seem to be talking to themselves, rather than to you. this approach isn't alienating, in fact it's inviting in its mystery, but it does make the record seem a bit impersonal. in the liner notes, byron coley waxes mystified (and perhaps a bit conceited) about how no one ever gets the real meaning behind most of the songs - but come on dude, it's not like they were giving us much to go on.

yeah weird i don't exactly follow lyrics and it ain't like thurston lee kim exactly reward lyrical attention anyway but a record like dirty, i feel like i do fundamentally get the record on a feels level and well enough on a words level

this one, couldn't really tell ya, it's just ||\\/\/\/\||//\\/\/\/|||/\/\/\/\/\/\||||||||>

The poor boy, rich boy part of the trilogy is about Robert Chambers.
