The Metric - The Police and the Private
Ink has me hooked on the Metric, especially the song below. Listening with headphones on really makes it cool.. sound is pressed to your ears. Listening to the Metric led me to write my own trite ditty: Lord lord we need questions instead of answers Lord lord we're

Lower East Side Crawl
I lumbered out from a self-imposed pity session this weekend to utilize my poor mood and piss on the happy-go-lucky spirit of Spring. Spring is like a flaky blond. Ooh - everything is great, look at the flowers, the air is so fresh. Let's bathe ourselves in the
