Placebo, a UK band once known as the “glam-rock Nirvana,” threatened a lawsuit in 2012, claiming that the group ruined his life. The sad-faced man in a flying helmet on the cover of a different 1996 album, Matchbox 20’s Yourself or Someone Like You, reportedly sued in 2005, citing emotional distress…

I must open the little trap-door and let out these linked phrases in which I run together whatever happens so that instead of incoherence there is perceived a wandering thread, lightly joining one thing to another.
Tell me where you come from Tell me what I've become Tell me where I have gone

Li disliked trying to change others. Since college, he’d derived inspiration from a passage in The Book of Disquiet on how people who are concerned about evil and injustice in the world should begin the campaign against those things at their nearest source—themselves—in a task that would take a life…
When I came out I was hungry — Nowadays I don't feel nothing

Maybe an infant overmind, made of minds as animals were made of cells, was self-preservationally downloading partnership ideas into society, in part by sprinkling them over urban parks.
We got the real live shit from front to back.
You’ll be affecting people who you wouldn’t expect, not just the people who have the same cross-interacting identities that I do. I didn’t think I’d be affecting the people who were giving me wedgies when I was younger.

When people request songs for me to play it’s usually shit I made when I was 20, and I’m like, “You’re still on that? I’ve come out with like 13 records since then.” Like I was saying earlier, all my records are about me at that time, so it’s really hard for me to look back.
I like the idea of losing yourself and then finding yourself. The dichotomy of those two things happening in a space or a place that you’re able to transform and change.
My main goal is to make sure that people come away feeling that they’ve experienced something. I wanna take control of the space, and let you know why you are here: get off your phone, stop talking to your friend, spit your gum out. Focus.
