  • I'll do myself and everyone else a favor by not typing out what I'm gettig out of this. I will say this: Lately, I've began putting Mr. Jeff Mangum near the top of a list of great minds of modern times. His music is one thing. But even how he talks, in conversations, interviews blows me away. I think I'm falling in love with him more and more each time I repeat a record or replay one of these videos.

  • these guys should teach

  • I wonder if these guys are really so psycho or they're just being funny

  • my older brother says jeff is crazy

  • "I tried to like, be very aware of what puzzle I was buying and when I opened the box I tried to be very aware of like, the pieces and make sure all the pieces were what was on the box. But then I shoved the pieces together and it was too late! It was all these disjointed like, body figures and I tried to convince myself it was a flower but it was not a flower, man! It was not a flower!" DAMN JEFFERSON

  • @rogums Fucking Five Star Post.

  • Some try to be sideburn-wearing, rebel-types...and that fits into an established stereotype that people can understand. But he can't even fit in by standing out in a crowd. Maybe that's one of the things that makes for a true artist. If you become enough of an outcast you can see the world from a distance and recognize what makes it what it is, with all its quirks and stupidities and inadvertent beauties.

  • If you live your life devoted to and fervent about Jesus or Allah or even humanity or love or beauty...without any room for compromise, a sudden disillusionment makes for a heartbreaking and confusing transition. The purity, the 'flower', the 'big picture' that is your reason for living becomes fractured and disjointed and ugly. And you can't undo all of the pieces once they fit that way.

  • You know, I've been trying to think that this conversation has some deep meaning behind it, but I really don't think that it does. Nevertheless, it's extremely interesting to listen to. 

  • this is the only thing worth pausing "two headed boy" for.

    ever.

  • What the fuck are they talking about?
