Because the obsessed teenage girl phase is over
I mean, it was over some years ago when I crossed the double decade age. But I only realized today that if I don’t get his latest album, Modern Guilt (which I only realized a week before its release even existed), then it’ll be his only album that I don’t have. I have the other 11 in some form. Should it bother me that I was once a frighteningly dedicated fan but have quickly fallen from fanaticism to…whatever I am now, which is probably a healthier mental state?
I dunno. I feel like I do have to get it, just to keep the collection complete, and should continue doing this until I die (or rather, until Beck dies, because he’ll probably go first…or will he). Been listening to some new songs and they’re…catchy enough (although my favorite album is still Mutations). It’s the only new music I’ve listened to in a long time. I’m afraid to read Brooklyn Vegan because I probably won’t know 90% of the bands it mentions and I’ve given up on trying to catch up. I have to channel the obsessive music-loving middle schooler I once was. [squints]…[clenches fists]…
…Okay, that just gives me a headache.

reminds me of how i was obsessed with oasis,had every single album, ep, etc and also wall to wall posters (called it my ‘wonderwall’ oh eww).i reached a low of extremely embarrasing teenage stage of idolatry where i acquired a mancunian accent.and im from malaysia so that was pretty goddamn lame.
but still,i dont think theres anything wrong with loving beck a little too much.
