The best love letter to a band disguised as a letter to your past self (or is it vice versa?) that I have ever read:
Wait, You’ve Never Heard: Pavement — Brighten The Corners
My favorite quote:
“There’s a magic to the moment you finally love a band, and anyone who says he or she was with every band from the beginning is a lying sack of shit.”
(via Consequence of Sound)
PS: I also love the random “The Mummy” reference for reasons not intended by the author.
