I want my roommate to be afraid of how indie I am.
Blast this to get back at the people who won't stop playing Fall Out Boy and Taylor Swift. Your roommate will definitely have a newfound respect (or fear) for (of) you.

In my mind, the mix follows this path: love and good intentions, debauchery, subtle and then violent robot takeover, humanist revolution, and finally learning how to be at peace with the world and yourself.

I need to stop listening to Merriweather Post Pavilion before I get Animal Collective fatigue
After I exhausted Merriweather Post Pavillion, I went on a huge Animal Collective kick, listening to all their full-lengths in order. It was awesome, and I recommend it.

If you want something in your face, watch a Jack Black movie
