thanks a lot sufjan

today is 'record store day'.

am i NOT supposed to feel cynical about this? its so innocent, like 'ice cream day' or something. but really you know its just about selling more shit.

but maybe thats what this country needs right now: more people buying shit they dont really need. did all holidays start this way? a few big businesses (or churches) got together during tough times and made up a 'holiday' that fed into the collective unconcious desire for hedonistic polytheistic/pagan-style mass gatherings? people at a party will act like they believe anything you say as long as it keeps the party going.
