Say it ain't so

Approximately 9 hours ago, I received an email from none other than Sean Adams (a.k.a. Forests, above center) that read:

"seriously, like, i know you think cuz you beat cancer you're ready for anything

but you aint ready for this."

I'll admit, I certainly wasn't.

The latest jam from our favorite Jersey hoodrat wunderkind is certainly straight out of left field, and decidedly 20th century. Yes, Sean Adams covered "All the Small Things" by Blink 182, a single that would help propel their 1999 album Enema of the State to a stunning quintuple platinum status.

I don't even really know what to say about this, it smacks of Mr Adams' biggest influences, namely: Hot Chip and Down's syndrome. As he warned me, you must wait for the entire 3 minutes and 20 seconds to expire before passing judgement. Like plane crashes and Manitoba's* sophomore album, we're reminded that even the most precious things in life end up in flames. Congratulations, Mr Adams. You've done it again.

And congrulations to us, for being along to share in this momentous event. I certainly wasn't ready for this. But can you blame me?
