I find it funny because people complain about Brooklyn becoming too hip, but would they prefer stock brokers or gunfights or something?

I've been waiting for techno to die. I was in Germany once and this guy was telling me that techno was dead, and then he proceeded to play me techno for hours.

How many shots does it take before the concept ay choice becomes obsolete?

The landscape you grow up in speaks to you in a way that nowhere else does.

Getting comments like that from even the young people at the shows who probably aren't singers, the girls who just tell me that I'm an inspiration to them, for one reason or another.
