“You know how some nights you leave the house wanting to milk summer for all it’s worth, but all you get is a good glimpse at the rotten soul of the universe as it exists in and outside of yuppie jizz discos? So out of desperation, you and your friends go to the bar you hate trying to make good on your efforts… and you sit there sucking down your ice water thinking, I put on shoes for this?! You walk home with your best friend, each carrying an end of your bent-up bike, trying to remember the chronology of the Hüsker Dü discography and it’s all the lame fun you need right there. Aging loners waxing nerdy in the night light.” (Ray Pride)
