The Arcane Fire

So this isn't a real post, and by that I mean it won't be seven pages of incoherent self indulgence. Two things:

1) My vocabulary has been seriously slumping since I entered college/became allowed to swear more often than not swear, so to combat said loss of perspicacity, I've been doing FreeRice with the hopes that maybe if I do it often enough I'll start actually using the words, because I am no slack-jawed swear-spewing ninny. At least, I hope I'm not.
2) I have another chick to add to my 'chicks only play the bass' rule: Mustard Gas from Fucked Up. Technically they're not an indie band, but neither is Auf Der Maur and I counted them/her so what the hell. I'll expand it to all genres. In which case the Germs have to go up too (Lorna Doom being the bassist).


Tidbit for the day: Prior to the Pretenders, Chrissy Hynde was for a short while in a band then called Masters of the Back Side which upon her leaving became the Damned. Prior to that she was in a band with Mick Jones called My Cunt's Honorable Discharge which upon her leaving became the Clash.

I KNOW, RIGHT?


As a reward, here's a song, not yet released and blatantly ripped from youtube that I love love love:

Vampire Weekend - White Sky

While I do worry that things like posting links to songs not yet released does sort of promote weird albumness as happened with VW on their first record (the record's only been out a year, but the songs have been out since like 2005), it's too damn good, and anyway no one reads this, so I'm not too worried.
