Lots of posting either means things have calmed down i(my)rl, or I'm just blatantly avoiding all of my rl obligations! (It's a combination, but mostly the former, so yay!)

Maybe this was kind of fortuitous. When I was purchasing my most recent Declaration of Nerddom, Hot Topic was (for once!) playing a surprisingly listenable album!

"Excuse me, I need to give you money for this awesome shirt that I need or else I will die. Also a purple fedora. Yes, I know it was in the guy section. W/E, it's purple. Also plaid. Also who is this?" I asked the cashier.

"It is Neon Trees! It is awesome and we are out of their album," said Cashier.

So a couple of days later I look them up to see if they're still listenable (verdict: yes) and have it going in the background and then my brain starts doing that I'M-A-GIANT-NERD thing it always does and well now basically yeah more song recs.

Youtube keeps throwing a shitfit when I try to embed, so here: Animal.

This is the one that seems to have been playing everywhere (you may have even heard it on a super classy advertisement for Las Vegas). At first I just liked it, and then I wondered if Boomer would make No Neck Joe play it for Bubbles, and then I actually listened to the lyrics and heard Take a bite of my heart tonight and realized, "Oh. Never mind. It's Butch to Buttercup."

I mean, Here we go again, we're sick like animals, we play pretend, you're just a cannibal and I'm afraid I won't get out alive? I feel the chemicals kicking in... And I won't be denied by you, the animal inside of you? Fuck, and there are some pretty particular parts of this that could be his theme song for TEF. OH WAIT, WAS THAT A SPOILER. (Not really.)

And then I queued up In the Next Room, and basically went OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE YOU'RE JOKING. Because this is practically a Reds!scene from TEF that hasn't even made it to beta yet.

NEON TREES, GTFO OF MY HEAD. IT'S CREEPY. ALSO AWESOME.

I lose control when I hear your body move through the walls in the next room... If you only knew
how hard it is to handle, how bad I want a scandal...
Basically Brick and repression and yeeeeeah.

How long until I find one that fits the Blues? ([livejournal.com profile] frostnapples had a good rec the other day.)

... I swear I did something cool and not-terribly-nerdy today.

God I'm such a liar, why do I lie, WHY
