// QUOTES

“In another country, in another life, I once wrote about men of the tie. Sadly, I realize that now includes me. Maybe punk rock and a functional, grown up life are mutually exclusive after all. Maybe, I muse, I’m cursed to watch music alone in this country forever, reviewing band after band from the old leather couch in the back of the venue. I listen to Metz blaring in my ears, to drown out the noise of my mind, and I loosen the tie around my neck.”
