I think it is true. One of my best friends went there and seemed to do quite well. Though not to be insult him or anything because he’s prolly reading this, but the fact remains I have yet to meet a hot Vassar woman. I dunno there’s something about NE liberal arts schools that require 1400 minimum SAT scores that don’t scream “hot chicks.”

Two friends of mine went to Vassar, and they both said the legendary Spin article was mostly true. Said Spin article talked about how if you were a straight guy at Vassar, you pretty much pulled twice as much ass as you ever thought you wanted. Not that I can say whether that’s a good thing or not.

It’s true though, at this rate I’m just never gonna get into Vassar (tho oddly Vassar was actually th best school I got into for undergrad but my dad refused to let me go there because it was a woman’s school. Good call on his part as it sort of is)
Seriously, I go read P-Fork’s Serena Maneesh review and the whole fucking time its talking about shoegazer music. As though that meant anything. Why do critics insist upon making up useless labels. Serena Maneesh live did a lot of things for me but looking at my shoes, definitely was not one of them.

I’ve had just about enough of your Vassar-bashing!

Anyways, I’m a fan of all three of the bands in this review, but I agree on one point: the awful, awful P-fork reviews of these bands. I’m not willing to check through my archives, but I’m pretty sure that I call their Serena Maneesh review the worst of all time. Isn’t the point of an album review to tell us what the thing sounds like?

Thanks for posting songs with your reviews. Now I can do a little new music reconnaissance on my own.

(Read: you can do music reconnaissance and I can smile and pretend to know what’s going on, taking full credit for the very cutting-edge hipster-approved CD’s that will undoubtedly find their way into my collection.)

Thanks!
