QUOTES OF THE DAY:

“The Hello, Blue Roses songs are completely untethered to any of the bullshit streams coursing through the scene right now… it’s a product of not really caring what people think, but still caring a lot about people.” [emphasis mine - ed.]

-Dan B. in the Hello Blue Roses press release.

“All my friends who don’t live in New York hate New York. Near as I can tell, they imagine the city as one giant, loathsome American Apparel ad, a crass, joyless, narcissistic, careerist, emaciated, insincere, hopelessly uptight, suffocatingly twee cesspool of white-privilege Williamsburg hipsterdom.”

-Rob Harvilla reviews S*fjan’s “BQE” in the VV.
