OMG XIU XIU
Fuck. Xiu Xiu has been one of my favorite bands for the last 8 years, and still remains one of the all-time best shows I’ve ever been to, but their new album has totally taken them to a new level in my heart. Jamie’s voice is what the murmuring in my head sounds like, in case you ever wanted to know.
I wish he was laying next to me, whispering Urban Dictionary entries and autopsy reports to me every night as I drift off to sleep, I fucking love him so much and maybe I have had too much coffee already today or likely am beginning to ascend the roller coaster hill to Ultra Mania, but I can’t stop laughing all guttural and sinister-like.
Also, I think this is a sign that I need to start eating apples like Jamie Stewart. He obviously wanted me to see this video so that I’ll know I’ve been doing it ALL WRONG.
I make mp3 CDs when I’m feeling this manic and have already been mapping out a springtime track list in my head.
If you’d like a copy, say so! I like mailing things. (Read: I like giving things to Henry to mail.
)
ETA: Here is a picture of Henry’s reaction when I made him listen to “I Luv Abortion.”

wtf. why do i feel like you directed this video???
I feel like I could really excel at music videos.
I hear a Cure influence in their sound. My favorite part of this video was when they shoved the recycling bin across the street. Just like my work!
Haha, yes!!
I can’t lie…I kinda like this.
It is literally what my head always sounds like, that’s why I love them long time ;)
I think there were 15 people at their last show I went to.
