I mean really listened

not just popped into my ears to drown out thoughts of frustration with schoolwork

but actually sit down in my room

turn off all the lights

sat on my bed

and listened

and it was wonderful

and I’m sure this sounds meaningless to most

but when you can stop and take time out of your life to really surrender your mind to a song

the exchange between you and the music is so much more intense

more nuanced

more intimate

more stirring

more emotional

I may have to start doing this more often

On Sept. 21, 2011, alternative-rock pioneers R.E.M. announced they were calling it quits after more than 30 years together. So in honor of the iconic band, here are a bunch of cool photos of them mugging for the camera over the years.

Pictured: In 1983, from left, Michael Stipe, Mike Mills, Peter Buck, and Bill Berry.

Thanks for the music guys. RIP to one of the godfathers of alternative rock

Aloe Blacc covers Billie Jean with a string quintet

You know an R&B/soul artist is worth watching when they can do this to an MJ song and make it sound just as good as the original

This is why Legos are, were, and will continue to be the best ~~toy~~ invention ever

Newsflash: a music streaming site existed well before Spotify arrived in the States. It’s called Grooveshark. While the availability of music may not be as complete as Spotify, it’s adequate for the average user. More importantly, it didn’t interrupt album listening sessions with ads playing shitty music that you most likely don’t want to listen to. Instead, Grooveshark puts its ads in banners. While it lags the page a bit, it doesn’t interrupt the listening experience. This is the free service too, mind you. For this reason, Grooveshark is better than Spotify in my book

Spotify is overrated so far
