&lt;p&gt;narcotics really lift your mood, but then you have to deal with all kinds of negative consequences.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you could jump off your nearest bridge. the golden gate or the brooklyn bridge, for example. i don’t know where you live.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;you could try ssri’s or snri’s like prozac or cymbalta&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;or you could just eat a pizza.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thebermanator.tumblr.com/post/19071229236</link><guid>http://thebermanator.tumblr.com/post/19071229236</guid><pubDate>Sat, 10 Mar 2012 11:25:03 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>lisasimpsonbookclub:

I took liberties in the details here, as in equating john lennon and 'immaculate hero songwriter of our time', but I believe the question maintains validity in its purpose</title><description>&lt;p&gt;of course; everyone is biased in designating anything as a superlative. but really, i think a lot of girls’ genius comes from the silent partner, the bass player. chris owens does interviews so he’s easy to site as an inspiration, but chet “jr” white is their in-studio producer as well as bass player. songs are garbage unless sonically managed in the proper way. i mean, it’s the difference between a four track and a studio.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that’s why i don’t listen to owens’ previous band, holy shit, with ariel pink - because it sounds bad on the record. the production doesn’t hit my ears in the same way, but the song-writing is probably of a similar caliber….it’s just not engineered in a manner that make my ears go “wow, this is candy, imma eat it up.” you know? i like hi-fi, and i like how chet managed to get a hi-fi sound with low-fi equipment and limited finances on the first record, which is the best. it’s a good skill to have.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thebermanator.tumblr.com/post/15319501003</link><guid>http://thebermanator.tumblr.com/post/15319501003</guid><pubDate>Wed, 04 Jan 2012 16:59:19 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>are you gay?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;no.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thebermanator.tumblr.com/post/15281514132</link><guid>http://thebermanator.tumblr.com/post/15281514132</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Jan 2012 21:07:01 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>“…two tens in this. ‘nuff said.”</title><description>&lt;iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qDV_0MMoCz0?wmode=transparent&amp;autohide=1&amp;egm=0&amp;hd=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;“…two tens in this. ‘nuff said.”&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thebermanator.tumblr.com/post/15172721380</link><guid>http://thebermanator.tumblr.com/post/15172721380</guid><pubDate>Sun, 01 Jan 2012 23:17:02 -0800</pubDate><category>Johnny Marr</category><category>Headmaster Ritual</category><category>Les Paul</category></item><item><title>"Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?"</title><description>““Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?””&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;John Lydon&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://thebermanator.tumblr.com/post/14890140276</link><guid>http://thebermanator.tumblr.com/post/14890140276</guid><pubDate>Tue, 27 Dec 2011 17:02:13 -0800</pubDate><category>Sex Pistols</category><category>John Lydon</category><category>Winterland</category></item><item><title>Cigs and man-candy.</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lt7ux74rIv1qb3aspo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cigs and man-candy.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://thebermanator.tumblr.com/post/14589693183</link><guid>http://thebermanator.tumblr.com/post/14589693183</guid><pubDate>Wed, 21 Dec 2011 16:42:12 -0800</pubDate><category>Leo DiCaprio</category><category>Awesome</category></item><item><title>

Manchester, and the North of England in general,...</title><description>&lt;iframe width="400" height="249" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/MEbIiWjJMUA?wmode=transparent&amp;autohide=1&amp;egm=0&amp;hd=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;showinfo=0&amp;showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://flavorpill.tumblr.com/post/7388730743"&gt;flavorpill&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Manchester, and the North of England in general, gets a hell of a bad rap in popular culture — again and again, it’s depicted as grim, cold, rainy, and depressing. In fairness, though, it basically &lt;em&gt;is&lt;/em&gt; grim, cold, rainy and depressing… but then, that’s one of the reasons it’s spawned so much fantastic music over the years. There are plenty of great bands identified with the city — Joy Division, The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Oasis — but of all of them, The Smiths did the best job of capturing the atmosphere of the city in all its gray, urban glory. Morrissey’s consummate lyricism and strong northern accent both helped, of course.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
