"Don't ask me why I obsessively look to rock 'n' roll bands for some kind of model for a better society... I guess it's just that I glimpsed something beautiful in a flashbulb moment once, and perhaps mistaking it for a prophecy have been seeking its fulfillment ever since. And perhaps that nothing else in the world ever seemed to hold even this much promise." l. bangs.
i recently moved back to downtown flushing from brooklyn.
im going through restaurant overload as a result.
its also turning me into a highly happy lecher.
i have just discovered that wang chung's "to live and die in L.A." blends nicely with noreaga's "nothin".
