MUSIC NOTES
- My god I love Carole King's songwriting so much..."So Far Away" has been like the anthem of my last couple months
- The Garden and Rexx are both cool but they were better combined as M.H.V.
- I was on a sick one from the 8th thru the 10th so I can't remember the actual order of those albums listed in that time period but I know that I listened to them all fully
- "This rebellion cut-to-fit, well I refuse to be the soundtrack to it...We strive for something more than a faded sticker on a skateboard"
- "You just smile, like a bankteller"
- Favorite "new finds" of the month: Denzel Curry, Heron Oblivion
- WTF ever happened to my Seric shirt?
- "Did you forget who your friends are?"
- "Nothing can stop me now"
