who could have thought this was even possible given ABO WABO's position at the Magnetic North of all culture ever. literally everyone will have trained microphones and handhelds onto ABO WABO, hoping to catch a glimpse of the future. but this has come out of nowhere. how was it achieved? seriously that shit's not even real

track two is simply confirming what I already knew: that this album is a spiritual manifestation of ABO WABO's undeniable brilliance, and was called into life simply by needing to exist

Melissa : "WABOS"mark as favorite buy wabos mugs & shirtswtf what the hell bullshit what a load what a bunch of shitby wwrtd February 18, 2006 add a video26 up, 15 downRandom Word2. waboA racially confused species in Australia, similar to the American wigga. A wabo is a white person who wants to be an abo. Typically found in Maroubra, wabos are rarely seen in Redfern for fear of being called a "white cunt", an insult which is also used frequently by wabos against other white people. Many wabos claim some sort of Aboriginal heritage despite obvious physical features which would demonstrate the contrary. Required uniform is shiny oversized fubu, dada and everlast clothing which is proudly displayed congregating outside maccas and 7/eleven in large groups. Lebo shaved heads with rats tails and fringes are a must for the guys, whilst skanky westy hair (pulled back tightly with lots of gel and slut straps) is the look for the scary fat wabo chicks. Can be distinguished from the lebos by their lack of body hair and gold chains. Unlike their wealthier American counterparts, they are generally lower-middle class and often do manage to score the dole. Violent and angry because of all the wrongs white australia has perpetrated against them, wabos should be approached with caution.Wabo: You owe me money ya white cunt!Surfer: Fuck off you wabo gimp!

the important lesson here is that if you want to blow everyone's mind with your music, you'd better be a multimillionaire recording artist with access to pretty much any producer in the world, a compliant press and a vision for perfect pop that'll get played in supermarkets, salons, clubs and even your own home!

more re: ciara -- I think there are just some vocal tonalities/ranges that I like way more than others. Like on this Overdose song, the part where she goes "don't let go" is appealing, but the higher parts are in my bias zone and cause an initial flinch

sunderland has a university & is therefore prone to exposure. whether clean bandit would pervade beyond student digs might be moot though, as increasingly all those under the age of 50 are forced into comparable housing & the sharing of communal peccadillos such as clean bandit. they are the soundtrack to postbourgeoisie surrender & gradual entropy into workunit anhedonia
