“Might paint something I might want to hang here someday.
Might write something I might want to say to you someday.
Might do something I’ll be proud of someday.
Mark my words I might be something someday.”
- Tegan & Sara: Someday
For once in my life, I’m at a loss for words. Tegan and Sara’s new album Sainthood is like an orgasm made of candy.
I’ve had this album since it came out a week ago and my roommates & friends can vouch for me, I’ve been listening to it non-stopped. It’s only been out a week and I already know it like the back of my so-and-so.
Problem is, I’ve been unable to write anything about it because it’s too good. Words can only cheapen it. I quickly realized that all of my attempts to review “Sainthood” just came out looking like a high school love letter, so I figured “fuck it” I’m just going to write Tegan and Sara a love letter:
You think you don't stand a chance with Megan Fox or Angelina Jolie?....Imagine how I must feel about my celebrity crushes; Tegan and Sara....sigh.
Hahahahahahahahahahahah! Too good! Too good!
Oddly, I am listening to the new album for the first time, just as I have discovered, and read your love letter. Fitting.
I’m telling Eddie Vedder!
I’ve read plenty of reviews from Rolling Stone to Billboard, but this review surely takes the cake as the best one.
Absolutely perfect Isaac, in all its gushy glory! And the check boxes…oh those check boxes….I nearly died
I think I will have just as much fun watching you at their concert in January as I will watching them! Fantastic work, my dear friend.
you nail it .
so cute.
Thank you X)
Wow, thanks everyone. If one thing can bring us all together it’s the awesomeness of Tegan & Sara.
I hope my letter finds them and I sure I hope they say yes!…I can live with a maybe.
I have loved these 2 since the “This Business of Art” album and actually got to meet them once, as well. They were really cool, signed all my CDs and took some pics. I have all their albums except this one — I live in the middle of nowhere now and our “store” doesn’t have it. SIGH. Alas, I must subsist off reviews until I get to a bigger town. Thanks for giving T&S some love!
Cool!
[...] I can’t say enough good things about Tegan and Sara. To know them is to love them and if you don’t know them, shame on you. Tegan and Sara have an amazing talent for making incredible music and then something up with something even better a couple years later. I almost put their new album “Sainthood” on my list because it might be a better record, but I’ve spent more hours listening to The Con. I’ve already said my piece about “Sainthood” which you can read here. [...]
