I keep a master list of everyone I want to see in my life and then write down when I see each one and keep a tally of multiples. It's a pretty awesome thing to look at. |

...where the fuck did you learn to make a list, SIR? |

This makes perfect sense to me because Death Grips spent an individual 3-4 month period working on each album, separated by a 6 month period, while Beck and Tenacious D rehearsed together (possibly maybe) to play the same song at the same time at the same event. |

| And obviously the racoon tied it all together nicely. |

| I forgot about M83 at the Paramount! That was a great show. Or maybe it was just a great edible I had beforehand. Either way, aliens and lasers and shit. |
