it's all useless info, as i see millions of others things to do besides talking to myself. though i'm going to talk to get to know this smudge on the mirror (in rather). 
been on a Garden Variety bender. 
there are a lot of bands lost in the sands of time that often get over-looked for lack of my informed direct perspective, found, forgotten, found again; especially bands around here; counting sand grains on the shore. 
around the time clock-hands are northbound, stiched together; the yarn be quite long from my foggy eyes to the moon, through the once four corners of the internet with hopes of it being a newborn blue.   
On The Might Of Princes played a show at this bowling alley down the street.
Slingshot Dakota at this random masonic hall we drove past countless times to spin the same hands along the same sandy beach. 
the times one stubs a toe on a relic depends wholly upon the pupil, taught or otherwise rather numb, to the foot or rather, brain.
for i can't tell you the amount of times we've been at the beach and someone spills their blood on a now petruding shard of glass.
that is why i always wear shoes; for unfortunately, we're quite lucky.
i had no idea Watership Down were local either.  
i know it might seem obvious but, to me it's inspiring in that you really can potentially play a show anywhere, especially being out here; in solitary confinement.
you know there's others, though life here feels like sitting in a puddle, as you lean against the wall in the shifting light twiddling the thumbs somehow feeling alone.
so im drawing on the walls in hopes of reaching some far off ear. if ears could see. 




   





   






it's funny, everyday it seems like we're one step closer to inevitably becoming what we hate. 
just got to figure out digesting rotten apples. 

one could deduce the reason for this publication: to subliminally echo "my ideals", through the power lines strung above unassuming heads;
tieng knots upon knots, asphyxiating dreams and thought. to this, i have a few responses:
1. whether you wish to believe it or not, regardless of who or where; it's all pervading and inescapable.
2. whether you wish to believe it or not, i'm just a fan; 
and just like every other nerd, i can't resist sharing and partaking in some way; these are the sounds of the chains.
3. souls should pursue the fire doth lights it, tis remedy through charred bone; ashen flesh. one light gazing anew to return. 
escape.

take what you will, think what you want; life needs no justification, you and i will never change that; we only change ourselves.      

men talk downward,
dog barks upward,
i have zero interest, intent, expectation; this is a place for me open to and as a result from the culture*. 
do you whatever that is, we're the same; props and cred where it's due. 

*those unfit are naturally ====> eventually outed soley by the nature of the thing(some expections).**
**though defiance is an integral layer of the foundation, see it's all a mess, like it should be. i largely don't care why anyone is here, make something cool idk. 

there is ego in this publication and creation up to you how much. 
make your own definition.

  in my grasp.




Holidays in United States - s/t lp. emo-revival from nyc cheers through fears and grit teeth, Marietta with a bite, honed from philly's pheonix flame; 
full of heart a torch-bearer lift em' high, your never alone. by the time this is published they'll have put out a single.

Black Pine - I Hope the Leaves Change Soon For You lp. long island screamo/emocore, a living relic; 
artisans hammer upon steel, polishing, disintegrating the bone untill it's luster rivals the moon. 
a curious blade born from the forge of the likes of Skycamefalling, too sharp for its sheath. metalcore? metallic hardcore? screamo? skramz? many terms for sword; people and time be fickle.

snooker/Bearhug - Twenty Twenty Four Split. Birmingham emo and Glasgow skramz; two sparks vie in dashes of a dieing world, nothing to prove and everything to lose, when you cast a sun swallowing shadow.
pumps blood in the veins of stone, forever staving frost. reminiscent of the second wave, of our short lifespan; an odd emblematic virtue now worn around the neck with time's passing. rip snooker. 

My Rushmore - Tell Everyone We're Dead lp. While one foot lies in Glasgow, in vain they stretch the leg over the puddle; see how long babel's tower stands. 
how quickly our words speak from two mouths, as we pen them in the downfall; gaze upon thy castle keep, stalwart hope knows no horizon.

Lavender Point - Close Second Best ep. midwest emo "proper", purists' wilted bullets curve, ricochet, raining atop bygone perrenial joy, what is evergreen and pure is gold to time; the master thief. youth can be eternal.

The Peace Corps - Demo 2024. wilkes-barre straight shot hardcore; quick double barrel pump through the chest dueling vocals dance off the recoil with a tinge of groove, through northeast smoke in nods to Negative Approach before you hit the ground.  




  



  



  





contain what can't be
waterfalls fill backyard pools
lions live in zoos 






  i find my words rusting in the time it takes for me to avert from my reflection on this vast ocean.
  loneliness,
  sweet taste of poison.

Chronic Avoider - Big Feelings ep. gut punching wrenching aurora borealis, frost bite heart to a thousand suns seven hues for grey. for the ca. 2010s era emorevival heads, snowing, street smart cyclist etc. got some pop.

Next To Nothing - N2N ep. eight-side howl strikes with thunder, echoes over caverns empty fuller than this breeze.  

agile - leaving behind everything you love. in a genre evergreen to the tiller, countless letters addressed; bursting apart, honest. an uneasiness in onlookers bareing the whole voyage in one wave to the sailor. it's exciting, even scary when you know it ends.  

capsuleofyou - Charcot Wilbrand. along in the wakes of sinema's hammer blow forged in the might of giants: dual-weilding coasts and the lone star. unrelenting, undieing thy art. 



  the past few years of screamo/skramz has been both thrilling and exhausting, hats off.

High Reach - Two Song Promo. bearer of the sonic sigil, long island emo; Silent Majority, TBS, The Movielife, Crime In Stereo...  the new gen Private Mind, Stand Stil...
koyo and victory garden in betwixt eternal faces of an enduring suit; unknowing where it comes and goes, yet we feel it. 

Grather Way - GW II lp. huanted saunter askew betwixt bending buildings leaning streetlights to whisper, "horizon twisting slowly upside-down lies to forward footprint bound." denver arrow unfading.
