I have become what I (used to) hate

A music whore. More specifically, an indie music whore. I can't help it! It wasn't a choice, it's who I am. I was born this way. I am seriously seriously obsessed with music right now. I mean, I've always liked music (my 400 CDs can attest to that) but being in a band has opened this whole new world of appreciation for music. Now all I do is surf the net, check out new bands and wish I had enough money to d/l everything off iTunes. When the last school bell rings, I turn into the Pavlovian music dog and bound home. It's not like I feel like I'm a better person because of it--I'm not a music snob. I don't know why this is bothering me. Actually, I think it's the no-money-to-buy-this-music thing that bothers me the most.

I've dyed my hair jet black and have asymmetrical bangs. Does this make me a member of the Mop Top Hair Shop? GOD I hope not. I hate hipsters almost as much as I hate hippies. Smug muthafuckas.

Listening to: Well, yesterday it was Tegan & Sara, but the day before it was the Futureheads and the day before THAT it was the Bravery.
Reading: Nylon mag. weak. I can't wait for my Bust to get here!
Eating: some nasty brown bread I bought at the Japanese grocery store--smells faintly of paint thinner...I don't think imma eat the rest of it.
Sweating: up a storm.

Here's some pix of our show last friday.
