Technically, it was a speedball.
Which is heroin, shot up with morphine. So, you know.

I thought it was heroin and cocaine?

And the morphine is the killer.  Heroin speeds the heart up to dangerous levels, morphine kicks in later and stops it almost completely.

That's what I thought.

Bottom line, though: it is shit that will kill you combined with other shit that will kill you.

I absolutely agree with:
The Beatles
Springsteen
The Eagles
Rush
Rage
Radiohead
The White Stripes
Guns n'Roses
Floyd
The Arcade Fire
Beck
Sinatra
and sort of The Doors.

I disagree with the notion of every band on that list being "overrated," except for Rush and Beck.

I wanted to make a comment about the whole Lil Wayne being overrated. I do have to agree he is pretty overrated considering I could name a few rappers who are a little more lyrically impressive. Though when you consider the fact that he freestyles everything and never writes a thing down you got to admit that is impressive. I will admit, I am a huge wayne fan because of that. Oh and touching on the whole best rapper alive thing, listen to his mixtapes. They are way better than any of the Carter albums and he explains why he calls himself the best rapper alive. He pretty much calls himself the best rapper alive because he feels like he is a a competitor and feels that everyone should feel the same way about their craft.

the kind of overratedness (is that a word?!) that annoys me the most is when someone says about a band/artist "you HAVE to like them, because they're so influential!"

i've heard that line (or variations on it) in relation to several bands, most often the beatles - yes i appreciate that they're been hugely influential and most of the bands/artists i enjoy wouldn't be here without them, but i still don't really enjoy more than a handful of songs from their entire discography.

I saw him two weeks ago in Hamburg and it was awesome. I hadn't really heard him before and didn't know who he was and I really liked what he did with that violin.

Um if it's any consolation I think I've got it out of my system now and it seems unlikely I'll feel the need to listen to them again. Also everything I've heard off their new record makes me Hulk Angry.

I tried to listen to Beach House, but they evoke the same response that Antlers and Grizzly Bear do: absolutely nothing. They're not bad, it's just that when I listen to them I feel absolutely no emotion good or bad. They sort of wash over me like a really mild wind.

Thank God, I thought I was just a freak of nature. Now that I know someone feels the same way, I can stop crying myself to sleep at night.
