I don’t think I have talked about it here but I may have, I hurt my foot last week. I didn’t bring it up because you know, I am super tough, I am not just going to broadcast to everyone that my foot is hurt looking for sympathy. No, I only whine one on one with half the people I know. You know, like a Charles Bronson character or something I mainly keep quiet and just softly whimper with every step and stick out my bottom lip. Anyway, this became a problem today as I have been working from home except for a quick jaunt out this morning. The problem is the Mountain Goats new album came out and my copy is sitting in the post office, which is almost 3 blocks away! Hercules had his his 12 labors, I have mine. So I had to decide to I wait until maybe tomorrow when I have to go out again or do I brave the slight drizzle and pain and go get my records. Well, the album is about wrestling so I knew what I had to do, I had to adopt a classic Hulk Hogan no sell and tell my foot that shit doesn’t hurt and you can’t take me down, Brother! Well, I did that and I got my record and I am here to say no selling is bullshit cause it hurt like a bitch. I have no idea how that great American Hero shrugged of chairs and shit but I know he did cause I used to watch as a kid with my dad. Anyway, this long, long post isn’t about wrestling, it’s about music. I love music. This is where I get to be pretentious and holier than thou but I have always felt like everyone likes music but not a lot of people love music. For a lot of people it’s a fashion choice and more a part of your self identity than everyone else. I say this cause I spent my teens going to punk shows but I don’t think I have ever met a real punk. As a matter of fact a whole lot of those guys were way, way into Limp Bizkit a few years later. And that’s fine, you can do as you like, I just want to point out his makes me better than you. Also better than you is my dear friend lunoboom who introduced me to Wolf Alice, because she is awesome and the band is awesome and here is something awesome for you to put in your ear holes. Anyway, that brings us to front person Ellie Rowsell who is also attractive and I am attracted to her because it is science fact that people who make music, especially those who make good music, are infinitely more attractive. Science fact. But also I just kind of want to share a cool band with you guys and very subtly mention my foot hurts so I could get sympathy that I can then deflect by saying, I shouldn’t have even mentioned it. Cause I’m super tough and my taste in music is better than yours. Today I want to fuck Ellie Rowsell.
