Ian McCulloch's 'Holy Ghost' is Music for a Grandfather in a Starbucks

YO I LIKE HOW DREW INTIMATED IN THE EMAIL THAT THIS NIGGA WAS "THE LEAD SINGER FOR ECHO AND THE BUNNYMEN" LIKE I KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THAT MEANS. NIGGA YOU COULDA BEEN LIKE "THIS GUY WAS THE LEAD SINGER OF POOPOO AND THE JEHOSEPHATS" I DONT KNOW ANY OF THAT SHIT BRUH. I DID HOWEVER KNOW THIS SHIT WAS GONNA BE PRETENTIOUS AS FUCK BECAUSE THE TITLE SOUNDS LIKE A DOG EARED NOVEL A WHITE LADY WOULD BE READING ON THE L TRAIN. "ORCHESTRAL REWORKINGS" MY NIGGA? WORD? YOU GOT A NIGGA PLAYING A TIMPANI ALONG TO YOUR FUCKBOY ACOUSTIC GUITAR?

I ALSO KNOW THIS NIGGA SOUNDS LIKE COLDPLAY, AND I KNOW WHAT COLDPLAY SOUNDS LIKE CUZ THAT'S WHAT THEY PLAY EVERYWHERE IN MANHATTAN THAT SELLS COFFEE AND SOMETIMES I BE GOING TO MEETINGS WITH RICH WHITE NIGGAS IN ORDER TO SELL MY SERVICES OF HUMOR AND SHIT AND THEY ALWAYS GET COFFEE AND ARE LIKE "HEY! NEED ANYTHING? NICE CHAI OR SOMETHING BUD?" I'M LIKE "NAH I'M GOOD, MATTER FACT LET ME GET ONE OF THOSE."

"YOU WANT A SCONE?"
"THAT SHIT IS CALLED A "SCONE" B?"
"YEAH"
"I DON'T WANT IT ANYMORE".

"SCONE" SOUNDS LIKE A DISEASE B. LIKE SHINGLES. IF YOU GOT SHINGLES YOU CAN BE LIKE "I GOT SCONES" AND NIGGAS WUNT EVEN NOTICE YOU REPLACED THE WORD BECAUSE IT SOUNDS EQUALLY DISEASISH.

AIGHT I THOUGHT THIS SOUNDED COLDPLAYISH BUT THAT WAS THE FIRST SONG. NOW THIS NIGGA SOUNDS LIKE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN ON 12 XANAX. MAN THIS IS GRANDPA TUNEZ MAN. THIS IS VERY "FOLKY" CAN I SAY THAT? IS THIS FOLK MUSIC? YO WHAT'S FOLK MUSIC? *TEXTS DREW*

AH SO I WAS RIGHT, THE NIGGAS SITTING IN THE TRAIN STATIONS DOWNTOWN SINGING ABOUT RAINDROPS AND RUNNING THROUGH CORNFIELDS IS FOLK SINGERS. DAMN THIS NIGGA IS MOANING LIKE CRAZY ALL OVER THIS SHIT B. "AAAHHUNDA MAAAAAPILLOOOO EEEEEENJEELLSSSSS AAAAAHNNMAA SHOULDEEEEEEHHH DDEIHCN COOOMMMIN CLLLOOSUHHHHHH" THAT'S THIS WHOLE ALBUM B. WILD DOWNBEAT HEROIN FARMER MUSIC B WHICH BASICALLY MEANS NIGGAS IN BROOKLYN ARE GONNA LOVE THIS. MARTY MARKOWITZ IS LISTENING TO THIS NIGGA RIGHT NOW HUGGING HIM AND TELLIN HIM HOW GROUNDBREAKING HE IS AND SHIT. MARTY MARKOWITZ IS THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN RIGHT? I'M NOT GOOGLING IT BUT I KNOW THE NIGGA HAS A STUPID ASS NAME THAT SOUND LIKE SOME SHIT FROM A 70S SITCOM. ANYWAY MY PALS THIS IS TREMENDOUSLY BORING AND I WOULD ONLY UTILIZE THIS AS "FADE OUT" MUSIC AT THE END OF AN EPISODE OF "ONE TREE HILL" OR SOME OTHER WHITE PEOPLE NOVELLA SHIT. STRAIGHT AUDIO AMBIEN.

I GIVE THIS SHIT 1 PILE OF DUTCHGUTS OUTTA 5 BECAUSE LOL @ THE COVER.

STANDOUT TRACK: YO THIS ALBUM FUCKIN SUCKS BUT I'M LISTENING TO NOREAGA - "40 ISLAND." IF YOU LIVE IN NYC AND HAVE NEVER BEEN TO RIKERS YOU WILL LISTEN TO THIS AND BE TERRIFIED. IT'S AN AUDIO "SCARED STRAIGHT."
