https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkD20ajVxnY VS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpoMzsDL7z4

i rly love tim mcgraw

like what a nice song

this is hard but i think frontwards.

i feel like theyre both really powerful demonstrations of the way we fence in loss with memory & the way the tangible becomes totemic and intangible

man, you are always saying shit like that

that was a good statement Lamp, it makes sense about loss

Well I got style
Miles and miles
So much style that it's wasted

guess there's big factor as to how literal you like your lyrics but just on a listenable basis i can listen to frontwards dozens of times leik rite now

I am dumb and new to ILM and also I can't find the glossary of terms thingy that I found last time I had a question like this, so:

What does t/s stand for?

alpine static wrote this on thread Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues on board I Love Music on May 4, 2011

Album of the year so far. By a mile.

t/s = 'take sides'

Thanks, ciderpress.

buzza - ?

fantastic sights and imagined slights where do you wear the beacon?

hi alpine static!

ok, i'll assume you're making fun of the fact that I love that Fleet Foxes album and move on. thanks!

okay, so it's a weird contest

i'm initially inclined to take the pavementover, well, over most anything, as it's a song i love by a band i love and i know that. and i don't think i much like taylor swift, from what little i've heard. we don't spend most of our time with what we like, right?

anyway, frontwards is a sad, slow, draggy and beautiful song about wanting and looking perhaps askance at someone across a complicated social situation in a part of california in maybe summer when you know you're maybe looking good and looking at someone, we notice that this is war, and around us the world falling into itself, nice shoes, by the way. right?

tim mcgraw, meanwhile, is a sad, slow, drifty and [yeah] song that looks into a glazed past through the lens of a few resonant details, each completing the others to make a thing we already know (georgia, chevy truck, faded blue jeans), thus much more conservative, thus country. the eros of memory as filtered through pop, but it's a pop and an eros i don't know, so strange, but i get it. love the language, the spotlight on the lake, happiness, white dress. eventually oversteps itself, as i like the build and what it implies a lot more than the cheesy climax.

um, frontwards easy. though i do appreciate the taylor swift song. would (will) shop (to).

like = dislike, apparently

That Tao Lin book is good.
