Things I Learned From Reading Fluxblog

This bears the earmarks of a continuing series:

• Knowing what you want is usually a lot more exciting than having no idea at all.
• Capitalism as a terrible boyfriend.
• The best LCD Soundsystem songs tap into the ineffable.
• The Liars are the kind of punk band that makes people think of Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead.
• Robert Pollard just put together together an appealing tune and song structure with a gentle emotional epiphany that comes across as earnest and true, but he's just phoning it in.
• "Peacebone" is the worst title for an amazing song, ever.
• A line like "an obsession with the past is like a dead fly" doesn't make sense, and it totally does.
• Although Fol Chen creates danceable pop music, they don't feel they belong in that genre.
• To enjoy a Phosphorescent song requires alcohol and loose gravity.
• An accordion lends a song a peppy oompah, yet not so much that precludes the woozy sentimentality or gentle enthusiasm that allows the song to be blown off course by some light springtime wind.
