If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don’t even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs, and maybe your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery, isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance. Of how much you really want to do it. And you’ll do it, despite rejection in the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you’re going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods. And the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is.

If I Had A Heart by Fever Ray

RE: I'm covered in paint.

Listening to The Nonreturner.

the whole song set is amazing.

We are very likely playing in Farmington sometime in the middle of August. Also, Nonreturner and probably Prize Wolf (as well as Burger Kingdom and Ursus Arctos) are playing on July 18th in St. Louis at a place called Cranky Yellow. Just a heads up.

Severed Arms (v2) by Nonreturner

“ Dogs do not study art. They don’t have to. Appreciation of artwork comes naturally to dogs. Nothing that is there for dogs is lost. It is the same with cats. A sniff, a raised tail… and all is well. Oh, should it be so easy!
