If they remade American Psycho in 2024, Patrick Bateman would be obsessed with Vampire Weekend. It’s textbook sociopath music; so uniquely devoid of any humanity or feeling that only a person who’s sole pleasure was derived from inflicting pain on others could possibly enjoy it

I’ll add that the dude then wanted me to sign his Jerry shirt which he found at goodwill. I reluctantly signed the bottom of his shirt - which took the value of his garment from $200 to $20. He did not care.
