Right now I am listening to Wire. This is a band whose balls you, sir, can just suck.

I am a fan of your trolling style, Cioran.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

My friends call me the Mayor.
My enemies don't call me anything.  'Cuz they're all dead.

Pink Flag is my girl's favorite album, because she is way cooler than me.

I really like it, but mostly just 12XU.

What college radio is to me: playing 12XU, and then coming on the microphone to scream "MORE", and then playing the Minor Threat cover.

Yeah, Wire are good. But sometimes they are a little too "we are smart and disengaged" for me. I spend too much of my time being smart and disengaged, I don't want it in music too.

although lately I am also in this grumpy thing where I convince myself I don't like things that much, and then when I listen to them I'm like WAIT, THIS IS AWESOME.

but really I want human warmth in my music, which I feel like is present in Wire's music more than critics want to say it is.

I want my post-punk messy and as far away from Joy Division as possible.

YEAH!

I will never get enough of scratchy guitars.
I can't find the album version of that song anywhere. I like it a lot.

Definitely agree on the warmth, there is far more present than people would like to let-on due to their love of detachment.

I like Joy Division a lot but it's winter and I want something which doesn't want to kill me

And that song is brill but I have lost it from my music files

Pink Flag is practically a concept album about trying to love.

Mag Fields: try "100,000 Fireflies" for a lovely warm tune.
