MJH snippets http://hausoflucas.tumblr.com/post/79691262243

the bit of talking at the beginning is that quote from an anti-porn PSA

“these abnormalities are corrupting the minds and hearts of our children.”

Brooklyn Nights is so good, been on repeat for ages

[Smithy]

It's such a cute song, but the lyrics are so sad

Its not that I don’t want to love you
Cause I really tried, and I
Just wanna hang with the old you
For just one Brooklyn Night I do

Have a drink with your former self
We both won’t act like someone else.
Maybe then we’d both tell the truth,
For just one Brooklyn Night I do

[Jordan.]

I CAN'T WATCH US BLEED TO DEATH

[Smithy]

[Jake.]

[Smithy]

[Pete.]

That stage is incredible - gets right to the edge of the crowd so it doesn't matter where you sit - we need more artists like this

her responding to Artpop's sales

'Nonetheless, she went on, "Artpop" has sold two and a half million copies worldwide, so don't call it, or her, a failure. "I’m sorry I didn’t sell a million records the first week," she said. "I have before. I’ve sold 27 million albums. I’m very proud of what we did. I’ve sold as much as everybody else sells. I’m held to such an insane standard; it’s almost like everybody forgets where the music business is now."

[Jake.]

I couldn't agree with the last part any more, this isn't three years ago
