the soundtrack to this blogpost will be interpol. they just feel good to me, have an aural sensibility that makes me feel, which is difficult for music to do sometimes. i know they’re not that indie anymore, but whatever. the chords and waves of their music can keep rushing over me, and i’ll always be [...]
