>Kings of Convenience - Declaration of Dependence

For the last little while I've been collecting old vintage film cameras. Some are really old and rare and others are just cameras that I thought looked cool. Either way I'm excited to really learn how to use each... continue

>Big D and the Kids Table - Fluent in Stroll

In my hometown, we don’t have a cliff that offers a panoramic bird's eye view of the landscape we are regularly a part of. There is no breathtaking “Make-Out Point.” On many an occasion, my friends and I have suffered... continue

>The Wooden Sky - If I Don't Come Home, You'll Know I'm Gone

Getting up for work one morning, I found myself looking out the kitchen window at the training tower the fire department uses. It was early, the sun was just coming up and I was blinking the sleep from my eyes as I fed... continue

>The Almighty Defenders - ST

When I was a teenager, I'd always dread Sunday mornings. Church robbed me of one of the two mornings a week I got to sleep in. The boring sermons invariably led to me catching up on sleep. But occasionally we'd get a... continue

>Julian Casablancas - Phrazes for the Young

It has been ages since I have danced in public, unless tapping my feet to my iPod on the bus constitutes that. I tried going out with friends to a club-ish place last winter, but was unable to get into it. This was... continue

>Say Anything - Say Anything

So when Beebs and I were 16 we developed a taste for a certain band, which I’m not going to mention. I’m not sure if Beebs actually liked this band, but he was a good sport and likes getting out and doing fun stuff.... continue

>Poison The Well - Tropic Rot

I got a phone call from Jack at around 4PM He told me he wanted me to come over to his place and get drunk. I agreed. Jack is a good friend of mine. I’ve spent way too much time with this guy as a kid. He is a solid... continue

>Crocodiles - Summer of Hate

I used to get cravings for a specific food and eat a lot of it in one sitting in hopes of never wanting said item of food again. I wondered why I did this. I blamed my mother like every rational daughter should do. My... continue

>Eddy Current Suppression Ring - ST

I was never very aggressive in my youth. I used to let my sandbox frenemies boss me around and I would still remain loyal. In my pre-pubescent years if someone treating me unkind, I would retaliate by dancing angrily to... continue

>So So Glos - Tourism/Terrorism

Last week I was in the Super Market and I could not find or remember anything I needed to stock up on. It seemed that I was just daydreaming - walking slowly around the store. Somewhat looking at the food but mostly... continue

>Arctic Monkeys - Humbug

Today I ate so much awesome food - awesome food that is also quite good for you. Well good enough for you if you don't over do it. I started my morning with a large mmmmericano! This is different from an Americano... continue

>Eddy Current Suppression Ring - Primary Colours

When I was 18, I was convinced I had met my life partner. I met him at the record store I was working at that summer. He was funny, was really into music...and was 40. At the time our age gap didn't seem problematic, as... continue

>The Dudes - Blood Guts Bruises Cuts

Some of the best times in my life have been incumbent upon pain. Some of these experiences would have only happened when self destruction was introduced. The meaty smell left on my clothes recount a night of fun and... continue

> The Cool Kids - Gone Fishing

There are two basic types of high school boys; those that do well with girls, and those who are really, epically crap with girls. The first category consists of star jocks, guys who are in bands, “bad boys,” and guys... continue

>Sights And Sounds - Monolith

I had just met Brad for the second time, the first being outside a really crappy show. I had heard of him many times from people around town and he had been held in pretty high regard. Later he would change his name to... continue
