the mfa program is, i mean, it's 'over rated' or whatever, but is it even, anymore? like everyone just makes fun of it. the mfa program is good for some things. i just think we should like say that once in a while.

after listening to the song, i feel like this band really likes paul baribeau and or andrew jackson jihad. or secretly is paul baribeau or a hidden member of andrew jackson jihad.

i enjoyed those songs

i think the one by 'the mystery books' was how i imaged the poem when i read it or something

the one by 'couch forts' sort of reminded me of tv on the radio

i think i would still be able to enjoy them if i didn't know who you were, which is also good
