went to see cut copy at circa in toronto in 2009 with my then-boyfriend. said "i love you" to him for the first time during "hearts on fire", he said it back, and then i vomited directly into my own hand. incredible show!
I do not subscribe to most "you had to be there" 2000s nostalgia, but the feeling of getting 2 on while listening to this album was truly one of a kind

i need americans who "love" their "great health insurance" to try to imagine never having to think about health insurance (or copays, or deductibles, or "choices") again and how wonderful that would feel. i deeply miss the feeling of it never entering my mind.
