The Useless Critic 2.0

HEY! I haven't written in here in a while! A few observations about life: While going through old posts on the UC, I realized I made this post regarding Fiona Apple's new album. It's been over a year. Still no new album. There's even been other posts about a new Fiona album coming out in November 2011, but its now almost mid-December 2011 and there hasn't even been a link of a new single. Reason?

Obsessed. Specifically with the lead singer, Sebastien Grainger. Hell, I even became slightly just as obsessed with the pornstache and the shittiness of fellow mem...

I should probably make a Coachella post sometime soon, yeah? It was almost a month ago that I had the time of my life in 90 degree heat for 3 days in a row. For now I will leave you with this and this
