Thanks, bro!

I know what people mean when they say Gossamer had some hits and misses. the hit were AMAZING and beat Manners but Manners is a more well-rounded CD.

you skip Constant Conversations


I actually do. I'm sure that seems curious. Lyrically speaking, the song is quite good; it's very honest and puts everything "out there," so to speak. Musically, though, the tempo drags a little (just my uneducated opinion) and seems more akin to something from a band like The Postal Service. While I also enjoy TPS, one of my favorite aspects of Passion Pit is the juxtaposition of seemingly bright, cheery music with more serious lyrics. Constant Conversations feels almost self-loathing to me, and for that reason I tend to skip it.

Not unreasonable. I agree that it doesn't sound like a Passion Pit song, but I think they pull it off.

"Cry Like a Ghost" is getting better with time. I just ripped out a "woo!" after the first "Sylvia".

Michael Angelakos -- Sleepyhead (acoustic)

For those that dig acoustic stuff. Pretty well done methinks.

I was listening to Gossamer yesterday, and I found myself thinking: This is not music that you would think men would like. It's very...eh...effeminite?

It's effeminite & poppy, but I like it.

Do I have teh ghey?


I love Coheed and Cambria, too...and they make Passion Pit sound as manly as Johnny Cash.

I have a playlist on spotify called: "Comfortable With My Sexuality Hits". Good stuff on there.
