Though, one of the my most anticipated releases is the new Father John Misty album.

I'm looking forward to that album, too! Great musician but a total tool in every other aspect of life.

Really? I mean, yeah he's weird, but I like him from what I've seen in interviews and stuff.

I heard him on Marc Maron's WTF and it was just grating to my ears how pretentious he is. The few parts where he was genuine were nice, but he reminds me of Bob Dylan personality wise, another great musician.

Shit, the new album's out! You know I dig that synthpop.

[thewanderer]

You like Huey Lewis And The News??? I fucking love that gif.....

[bright lights, big city]

They really came into their own when Sports came out in '83.

is urbana nice?

As in the University of Illinois town? Honestly? I've never been to it. Even with all the friends that went there for school, I somehow avoided it.

I assume it's decent enough - like most Illinois cities outside of Chicagoland it's like an oasis surrounded by 100 miles of cornfields.

i'm actually excited at the chance to see it. i know david foster wallace spent his childhood there.

have you finished Infinite Jest yet?

[blixa]

i stopped reading it for now and i'm reading the alexandria quartet.

[bright lights, big city]

I was never able to finish Infinite Jest. now i been on a Le Carre bender lately.

I think my brother read Infinite Jest twice and I don't know how he did it. It took me an hour to get through ten pages. Then again, he's a James Joyce fan and read him all throughout high school, and reads Kant for fun so I'm sure Infinite Jest was easier to get through.

Kant! Noooo! In college, I got stuck taking a class called History of the Enlightenment (I got lazy and the cooler history classes were full), and Kant and David Hume featured heavily in it. The professor was a German lady who half the class couldn't even understand. All I understood was that she had  the biggest lady boner for Kant. And I'll think of Kant since the way she said his name sounded like she kept saying "cunt".

i think if i just abandon everything i can maybe get through it. i have to finish reading infinite jest. it's just a thing i have to do.

Haha, Kant was probably a cunt considering the fact that man makes no sense.

Kant has his own damn language. I can read one of his sentences ten times and still not understand a damn thing that man is trying to say. And for some reason my brother enjoys reading his works. I just don't get it. Plus why couldn't I inherit that gene of reading and understanding scholarly crap? Maybe it's better I was the one who got common sense...

[bright lights, big city]

Common Sense ... Thomas Paine and Enlightenment ...

I see what you did there. Goddamnit, that whole fucking class is all coming back to me now.

[chick de la lynch]

Hahahahahahahahahaha!

Don't you miss college, though?

[bright lights, big city]

Oh for sure. Barely any responsibilities. Drink beer, play basketball and softball, play video games, listen to music. All with minimal consequences at the time - that was pretty much 4 years of my life. So glorious.
