i wish i could wear my bedhair more often

i did this today when i got my passport photo taken:

also hung over. it was rejected because my hair was outside the borders of the space you're allowed for the pic. moral of the story is, clean yourself up b4 going to get any id done

edit: i should mention that i've been doing the no-wash thing for 2 weeks now and i recommend it to everybody

reg open again

^^i figured there would be quite a few people talking about it on this forum; it's easier to have it all in one thread

the album is very mature. dont get me wrong, it doesn't fall into adult contemporary or dad rock, but it is a bit more reserved compared to previous albums. i think they could have taken more risks; look at the piano riff in We Used to Wait, it's aggressive as fuck, but it ends up working.

btw here's an updated tracklisting:

1. The Suburbs

2. Ready to Start

3. Modern Man

4. Rococo

5. Empty Room

6. City with No Children

7. Half Light I

8. Half Light II (No Celebration)

9. Month of May

10. Wasted Hours

11. Deep Blue

12. We Used to Wait

13. Sprawl I (Flatland)

14. Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)

15. Suburban War

16. The Suburbs (Continued)

Suburban War has moved from 9 to 15, which i think makes the album more cohesive. it works as a recap of the theme, and flows better into the continued title track than sprawl 2

speaking of that track, ill have to agree with what seems to be the majority and say that the synth is a welcome addition. its another of the few examples of arcade fire taking a risk on this album, and again it works

favorites are sprawl II, modern man, ready to start, rococo

lots of people seem to like City With No Children, but i haven't gotten into it yet. seems much too simple to be on the record. by that i mean there just isn't enough layers to it. sounds like a b-side (i know im gonna catch flack for this)

overall a solid album. i won't rank it, but i will say that i was one of the few who really loved neon bible, so it would be hard to top that for me. of course funeral takes number one tho

Apparently the current version out there is a transcode. I'm gonna listen anyways while I run with shitty headphones. I will report back.

I won't post a link cause of the recent reminder about those, so go ahead and poison me

white person ponytail (i can topknot it too but this is what i did with it today)

i dont know what to think about it i think it's kind of weird looking and maybe stupid but i think i like it

i really like this, esp how the pony is done kind of loosely. its a style where u need to see the person's face to know if it suits them, but it looks fantastic (again from what i can see)
