    I’d say this is one of things this guy got to take home when the indie record shop he worked at finally closed down and they couldn’t afford to pay him for the last month and a half.

    R those ikea blankys/pillowz

    Mainstream
    Alt
    Meaningful?

    Should I be worried that The CoBro has the same bed linen as me? Does this mean we are connected by 6 degrees of IKEA?

    I think this guy most likely has this poster up for the wrong reasons. However, I am going to defend radiohead_in rainbows//. Anyone who has kept up with radiohead in the past two decades understands that this album, be it mainstream or not, is undeniably a masterpiece and is only a product of their evolution. No one can say they sold out by producing a mainstream record; they didnt even charge you for it.

    this guys shirt is awful.

    Anoying that your so “ALT” that you know less than a “mainstreamer” crusing pitchfork once a month. The least you could do is find out the most minor of details on the bands you blog about because giving a shit about a real band could be really big in 2k8.
