I know a girl who cries when she practices violin because each note sounds so pure it just cuts into her, and then the melody comes pouring out her eyes. Now, to me, everything else just sounds like a lie.

I'd rather be working for a paycheck, than waiting to win the lottery. Besides, maybe this time it's different, I mean, I really think you like me.

We're going to sing about things that matter to us. The balancing act is to present these ideas but also make the music exciting and sort of fun enough that even if you're not paying attention to the lyrics, you might still like the songs anyway. That's the idea.

I believe that vinyl will outlast CDs. There's no reason for it, but it stays around because there are still people that want them.

I swear that I'm dying slowly but it's happening, and if the perfect spring is waiting somewhere... just take me there.

I kind of go in waves with reading. Sometimes I read all the time, and sometimes I can't get settled enough to focus.
