my mistake, apparently, was assuming that when my roommates said we didn’t get any mail today that they had actually checked to see if that was the case. as in opened the mailbox. the solution was waiting for another roommate to get home from his evening class and habitually check the mail on his way up, and bring me my brand new hey mercedes cd. victory!

it’s good. it’s really good. so good it was hard to read while i was listening to it, because i wanted much more to just sit back and let the sound wash over me. i’m not even going to give any sort of review — my only qualm was the addition of some weird sounds on let’s go blue which i don’t even think i mind and will probably grow to love soon enough. it’s just good. the end.

and i’m so glad it’s finally here.
