Starting off with Modest Mouse, so it’s alright by me. The National crying into their martinis.

Surprised to learn that Arctic Monkeys are better than the Cure. Must have been off that week.

I own records by 12 of them, plus copious volumes of Nuts Magazine, so it’s nice to know I’m on the right forum
