You mean Fantasies? It's great I got to see them live when they came down last year

I Emily Haines' voice

Love your avatar btw

Still deciding. Not well acquainted with their stuff but I wouldn't mind going just to see them and the place they're playing at is awesome... well it was until those darn uni students crashed it <_<

Passion Pit, Bibio (for fans of Boards of Canada), Mayer Hawthorne, Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton, Thao with the Get Down Stay Down, Real Estate and Neon Indian.

I read Pitchfork's review the other night and that's exactly what they said! Have you considered doing reviews before?

Hahahahaha touche! Oh the ironing!

Nothing that you listen to in the shameful pop industry?

You're right, personality does not stick in 100% of people. However, according to the literature, personality traits (or at least the manner in which it is conceptualised in psychology, with the 5 "core" domains being openness to experience, agreeableness, extroversion/introversion, conscientiousness and neuroticism), have been shown to be relatively stable throughout most people's lives. Although you've included a little essay there on how situations can impact on a person (which I admittedly have skimmed rather than read), you did not mention that one's outlook and personality also affect how you interpret certain situations and the manner and degree of how one changes. The relationship between personality and one's environment is more than a one-way street. I think the initial question, Looks vs Personality, is somewhat misleading (or at least the way I interpret the title of this thread); the question posed isn't an 'either-or' question. For most people, both factors contribute to how they feel about someone. For example, in the case of looks, most people are more inclined to judge attractive individuals or the people associated with them as having more positive qualities. On the flipside, finding someone you can relate with can help you overlook their flaws, sometimes to the point where the overlooking gets completely out of hand - scientists call this disease "love"

Guilty, not legit :persuazn:

Just got back from seeing Mayer Hawthorne & The County. Awesome stuff! but I'm deaf now :|

They're playing here in Feb

So who are your guilty pleasures, Limey?

I liked Campus

w00t! approval! does anyone actually like or even understand California English?

I thought it was alright, nothing particularly great. As I was telling someone else on lastfm, Ezra and friends have retained their distinctive afropop style, but have experimented with different influences and instruments to create a similar sound. My impression at first was that it was a very disjointed collection of singles, with differing styles and not as cohesive as their first album. However, the fact that it is called Contra makes me suspect the juxtaposition of particular styles throughout the album is part of a loose theme. Tracks I found enjoyable include Horchata, Cousins, Holiday, Giving Up the Gun and Diplomat's Son. In short... I don't know if you will like it or not

Flight of the Conchords - Too Many Dicks (On the Dancefloor)

Current teams in the comp gives me an impression that there is some sort of relegation system lol! I don't follow league, though I am happy when the Roosters lose

Vampire Weekend - Diplomat's Son

nachBros

Not sure if I've posted this. If I have, then it's worth another watch
