“If you want to write, read a lot, then write a lot. Write all the time… and never, ever worry if you’re bad. I’m bad every day. My first drafts are some rough road. You just have to not be afraid of sucking.”

Maybe I’ll write a novel, I thought.
And then I did” —Post Office - Charles Bukowski (via henrycharlesbukowski)

“What’d you do this weekend?”
On Monday, it’s is the most common question asked around the office, and by the time we see what Friday afternoon looks like, that question becomes, “What’re you up to this weekend?”
Most common answer: “Caught up on sleep.”
I try my best to never have the common…
“To live for the moment: it sounds so right and so beautiful. But the more I want to, the less I understand what it means.”

“What I do for hours, every day of my life, is sit in a room by myself. When I stop for the day I always try to have some notion of where I want to pick up. If I’ve done that, then it’s a little easier to start because I know the first sentence or phrase. At least I know where in…
“Closing your eyes isn’t going to change anything. Nothing’s going to disappear just because you can’t see what’s going on. In fact, things will even be worse the next time you open your eyes. That’s the kind of world we live in. Keep your eyes wide open. Only a coward closes his eyes. Closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won’t make time stand still.”

PREMIERE: Slowdance - Cake
Absolutely in love with every single these Brooklyn kids have put out so far (two), and this new one meets or surpasses the quality of its predecessors. Loose and luscious and hell, sung in French (why not?) this single screams pure pop fun and continues this band’s kinetic energy. Stoked to bring it to you first.
Pick this single up on their newly compiled Light & Color EP.
