" I can't believe I'm so naked doing this. "
““Duuuude! You’re spilling Jack on my sock!! : (“

“Say goodbye.”
We mean it man, we love our Queen.
So I woke up this morning in foggy ambition; I slept most of the night with a mix of Green Day and Valencia in my ears. The first calmed me and the second centered me. I couldn’t remember last night- not in a hung over kind of way, but in the way that hits me around 10 or 11am, that erases my grudge board and lets go of the hunt for justification. In the morning they’re all new again, but I’m...
I found this in my book from june entitled;...
Terica Martin: it smells like brown sugar in here...
Tom Denney: i farted.
Rob Fox: i did too.
I Call Fives.
A heart is always breaking. That’s what it was made for, it was made to fulfill it’s every innate capability. I wish it were last summer, and I have a really good reason for that. Then we’d be in a van in Temecula, California, and he’d be telling me about his problems with some other girl.

The texts from NY are miserable, the phone calls even worse. And every...
“We were also wondering if somehow…you could make it more badass for us??”...”
– Paul and Tom Denney
Joey: Play chords!
Paul: I don’t understand a thing you’re saying.
Mars Attacks →
Paul: Is that you rapping in the beginning?
Tom Denney: Yeah.
Paul: You sound black. …I like it.
There’s a distinct and apparent chemistry between Tom Denney and PaulScore24. It’s evident in the way Tom looks at Paul- his little faux Jew. He cocks his head to watch Paul tune… for the thousandth time. (“Tune.” “I just did.” “Tune again.”) It’s in the way his intertwines his socked feet with the legs of Paul’s stool. Yes, I know those moves. That’s love at first note.
Today Paul and Tom...

“Fuck bugs!!”
“That’s just weird…bugs are waayy too small. To fuck.”
In a thing called Love.
Tour is always good for one thing- getting the fuck out. And with an already steady playlist of The Darkness, Queen, and Jet… we are finally out.
I suppose this doesn’t really count as tour, but I am officially moved out of my annex on Long Island, and headed to Florida with Score24 so they can make all that noise they’ve been making at the practice space into 5 songs on a brand new EP. So we set...

Don’t Call It A Comeback.
City of Trees is probably the newest evidence that the Long Island music scene will never fully die out. Yes, I am still holding onto that notion. There will always be music here, and this scene will always renew itself.
Formerly one of our beloved Islandic bands, the new and willful City of Trees comes to Vibe Lounge tonight with but one detectable endeavor; to get through their set. Having sat...
“I’m not afraid to watch you change me.”
It is, for my last show here for quite some time, The Dangerous Summer who takes the stage, and my pen flickers with the appropriateness and relevancy of such a band title. Of course; such a season is exactly what I will be leaving Long Island to set off onto in just 2 days’ time.
“I gave my things away. I called the people that I only see on holidays. This next year’s gonna burn a hole in me.”

...under a Long Island sky...
Long Island is nice tonight. Its usual noises sound easy on the mind, the atmosphere is warm enough. The train for Bellmore is running on time. That red lighted news board that hangs from the Rockville Centre train platform does not use Sunday as an excuse to slow the delivery of the headlines. Its sharp brightness invades my eye sockets and push, push my memory back into the oblivion I...

“Don’t bother- I can’t work this out for you again. Hope it was worth it now. We break all ties that once held so strong…
I’m good to go (and set to leave.)”

are you yelling at the moon, Buzz Aldrin?
I hate waking up and feeling like I want to forget my life. I have never felt like that. I’ve never felt like I don’t wanna get right up and run outside, or to my friends’ house, or just to watch The Golden Girls. I’ve never felt like if I uncover any more stories I will surely just poof into dust and blow away as ashes. I will surely not prevail. I have always felt like I...

– - Set Your Goals; This Will Be The Death Of Us
let this make you stronger.
I’d like to take this opportunity to retract previous comments made in previous reviews I have posted of Set Your Goals. “I think I just fell in love…”
Again I watch Mr. McGee, VinnyFTK, Bilder, Schafer, the girl with the Prince Eric tattoo whose name escapes me, and Opena bounce around side mosh. Then I notice David Sheppard air drumming side stage and I think; no matter where you hold rank in...

{Girl stands outside on a lighted, but dimly hopeful sidewalk. Everything has gone wrong. Boy walks around the corner.}
Cando: Awww...I want him!
Terica: Me too. I want the boy.
Title Fight and Comeback Kid ...the legible...
As soon as Title Fight breathes, the room erupts. Usually, as a small person in a dress, I am generally and generically programmed to be terrified of mosh pits. Usually, Travis McGee makes me stand in the booth or sends Jayy with 2 y’s for some reason I don’t know..to body guard me. Tonight though, I’m sitting alone- on a bar stool in front of the grill at The Crazy Donkey Bar and Grill, smelling...

“No matter what you say, you’ll stay for a while”
It happens at every show; the moment the musicians turn around to first face the crowd after switching their amps on. No matter what happens, I will always melt for that moment.
It’s dusk. And Geek Stink Breath is on inside The Crazy Donkey in Farmingdale, NY. Title Fight is coming up, and after them, Comeback Kid and Set Your Goals. But after an...
And no beginner-
Mike Condition always said; listen to “Baby Blue Eyes” by A Rocket to the Moon and by the end, everything will be okay again. I still use that trick.
Fine lines are vile things. If the whole world could do away with them, I’d be good with that. It’s like how they say a paper cut hurts the worst despite its size- fine lines slice right through the tough skin I’ve built up to stand through all of...
Almost everyone you talk to will be full of shit. If you find one person who isn’t…hold on to them.
