I HATE Lightning Crashes. To the point where I'll probably never listen to Live.

Hey iYup, going back to Beck, if you think Sea Change is a bit of a melodramatic whinge, do you think the same of For Emma, Forever Ago?

It's strange, but Bon Iver is one of the very few artists whose lyrics I don't "hear" while listening to him. I never even thought of Emma as a breakup/lovelorn album until you mentioned it just now. I should add that the love lost theme can be incredibly moving; I just don't think Beck was particularly intriguing about it on Sea Change.

Wow, that is very strange. I can understand that if you're talking about the self-titled, because I can't make out a fucking thing he says on that album, but it's all pretty obvious on For Emma.

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
If all your love was wasted
Then who the hell was I
And I'm breaking at the britches
At the end of all your lines


I'm not attacking you, btw.

When I hear "Iris" I think of that lame-ass Replacements/Westerberg rip off by the Goo Goo Dolls.

Fuck that shit.

There's another song I can't stand.

Every emo kid thought that was mankind's greatest achievement.

No worries; I didn't take it that way.

I'm honestly not that familiar with Emma. I always reach for the self-titled when I want to hear Bon Iver.
