More Than Vibrations

It is a miserable February day. The drafty windows are letting in a full wind from outside, as my throat is becoming scratchier. The music starts, my eyes weigh heavy on the cover art – a boat with tall sails and masts floating on water. I am reminded of the rain hitting the roof and [...]

The Mountain Goats at Wilbur Theater, Reviewed.

Act 1
[Two friends stand in the crowd eagerly anticipating the Mountain Goats to take the stage. As the band appears on stage to a rush of cheer and applause a quizzical looks stretch across the two friends' faces.]

Friend Two: Yeah, looks [...]

DEVO Stands for De-evolution, and I Stand For The Death of Death. [Part 1]

As soon as I thought of the following idea I told it to Gunnhild. She was not as impressed. I would later find out that the idea currently circling this text in a holding pattern is not all that impressive. (As an aside, I ask you, Q: what is more pleasurable than the construction/fulfillment/destruction of [...]

[Wavves begins their set. The first song they play is "So Bored."]
Aaron: Nick, I think they played that [...]

lights out tonight

There is a great deal of hidden text hidden in the seemingly black rectangle above. The text deals with a variety of topics but primarily focuses on the merits of Lights Out, or at least, my thoughts regarding the merits of Lights Out. Most importantly it contains the question that provides you with the answer [...]

jack stafford foundation

Last night and into this morning Jack Stafford Foundation slept on our floor. We offered him the couch, but he said he was content on his thin inflatable mattress. We offered him some of my grandmother’s strawberry bread, but he said he was content with my aunt’s sugar cookies. Earlier I had watched some of [...]
