dear madvillain,

here’s a story for you. a couple of months ago i found a cassette copy of guns n’ roses use your illusion I so naturally i stuck it in the old tape deck in my pickup and enjoyed it for the entire 45 minutes. then it got stuck. for 3 months wherever i drove i listened to it. by about december it got to a point where if i had to listen to november rain one more time i was going to do something drastic like give myself some shitty whitey braids and wear a giant football jersey in front of millions of people. it came to a point when i fanally took a screwdriver to the tape deck and pried it out. i never want to hear that album again.

in contrast, shortly after the use your illusion incident i fixed my ipod adapter and one of the first albums i listened to was madvillainy. i listened to it exclusively in my car for about a month before moving on to something else- but that wasn’t the end. every once in a while it finds itself playing repeatedly for days as i drive around. it never gets old. in fact, i put in on again this morning and i have a feeling it will be until next monday before i change it again.

you are truly the illest.
