There’s Beauty in the Breakdown

So let go, let go
Jump in
Oh well, whatcha waiting for?
It’s alright
Cause there’s beauty in the breakdown

So let go, let go
Just get in
Oh, it’s so amazing here
It’s alright
Cause there’s beauty in the breakdown

-Frou Frou ft. Zach Braff and the Natalie Portmans singing about letting go of society’s norms + pressures+ generating a new concept of ‘love’

I am still monitoring my theory that acapella will replace conceptcore music in 2k10. Just want to make sure I stay relevant. What do yall think?

Will yall ‘let go’ in 2k10? Do yall miss 2k0-2k4 and wish we could go back 2 the days when we didn’t really know how 2 use the internet to attempt 2 cultivate a meaningful life?

    Acapella won’t do anything in 2k9 or 2k10.

    Sparks still exists if you peep my name link. Suckers. This site is full of misinformation!

    At what point does Garden State become eligible for ironic/post-ironic rehabilitation and cannonization? I dread the day like it is testicular cancer but, unfortunately, see it happening at some point in time, possibly around 2k14 or so. Will there be retro parties where people dress up in old AmAppy handmedowns, drink pseudo Sparks made from future energy drinks and space vodka, dance to a “Pure Bloghouse” compilation that they ordered after seeing an ad for it on late night psychic television, and watch Garden State and a bunch of films by retired three star general/Senator Wes Anderson? Will these parties be held on the moon, with everyone driving there in flying cars?

    I wonder if this is one of my State University’s 8000 awful acapella groups who think they’re pushing acapella to the most inspired, hilarious limits possible.

    “Do yall miss 2k0-2k4 and wish we could go back 2 the days when we didn’t really know how 2 use the internet to attempt 2 cultivate a meaningful life?”

    Back when Napster was revolutionary. Creative Commons evolutionary. Lawrence Lessig’s “Free Culture” manifesto for remixology made mashups profound and relevant. b4 Danger Mouse. b4 every dj had an Apple Ableton Live Lappie with m-audio everything. b4 Girl Talk. b4 Justice. b4 everything became traceably derivative. b4 t-shirts became the new eps. b4 the mp3. b4 time and space. b4 PoMo and AnCo. b4 the end of meaning
