Incredible powers of observations
I was just browsing the web as per normal: bookmarking, quick linking, new-tabing and multi-observationaling, when I came across a particular MySpace page.
Some form of new-fangled experiband with a distinct anti-everything stance. Undeterred by this overbearing hipster facade, I proceeded to sample the music.
3 seconds in I knew something was amiss. I knew there was genius in the music. Something about the composition or the riff or something of the like.
A quick google later, I realized I had incredible powers of observation. The man-God, John Frusciante, does indeed contribute tunes (reminiscent of The Soldier from AW2) to this questionable music endeavor. I thusly decided I LOVE Swahili Blonde. Maybe you should too.

“Take Hemingway. People always think that the reason he’s easy to read is that he is concise. He isn’t. I hate conciseness — it’s too difficult. The reason Hemingway is easy to read is that he repeats himself all the time, using ‘and’ for padding.”
—Tom Wolfe
“I want my eulogy to say
He was the kind of friend that no one could replace
And I want my family to know,
That I love them more than words will ever show” —Ben Kenney
