"Drew Speziale,



Your band, Circle Takes the Square, has a song by the title of "A Non-Objective Portrait of Karma." This titular "non-objectivity" you describe must in some sense be a reference to the concept developed by the brilliant Russian Suprematist painter and intellectual Kazimir Malevich around 1915. It's either that or you're saying that it's "subjective" (id est, ~O). If it is a reference to Malevich, I demand that you retract it immediately, as your song's association with his deathless work can only act as a shitstain on an otherwise pristine legacy.



Quite obviously, I do not like your band. I suspect that you must yourself be cynically aware of the way Circle Takes the Square cultivates an aura of pseudo-authenticity. This is accomplished by its lo-fi "rawness," its deliberately "unexpected" transitions, and its seemingly "heartfelt" lyrics. You simulate depth but it's really just trickery and illusion, a trompe l'oeil. All that is really produced is hateful vacuity. There is no sophistication to your music, only ceaseless buttfucking into the smegma of Time.



YOU ARE THE COSMIC TWAT. Your wretched complicity with the forces of cultural degeneration and Unreason is accursed of the LORD. Renounce this horseshit; go forth and sin no more.



I am, etc.,

Agesilaus Santander"

In 2007, Circle Takes the Square toured the United States with the post-hardcore band Thursday and alternative rock band Portugal. The Man. They are currently working on recording material for a second full-length album, which is five years in the making so far. According to their studio blog,[3] progress is being made as they rehearse and record more demonstrations, which they refer to as "place-holders". They have said that the new record will be titled Ritual of Names, and will be one long piece of music broken into seven tracks. They have also stated that Ritual of Names will be part of an even larger project called Decompositions.

are you serious right now
so any band alluding to a work that your pretentious ass perceives as superior has to rival your indistinguishable plateau of elitism in order for it to be okay with you?
please tell me your vision of music's progression without artists being allowed to idolize other artists, and then tell me why you feel the need to use trite hyperbolic seven year old humor to annoyingly contradict your raping of merriam and webster?

ass-hairs? spare me
