WE ARE THE SICKOS! zine cover
Ever since I saw Thee Oh Sees Live, I've been obsessed with the guitar

WHAT'S THAT SONG?

RUNNING DOES SOMETHING FOR ME THAT FEW OTHER MOVEMENTS CAN WHEN I RUN, I CAN ESCAPE SOMETHING THAT TROUBLES MY MIND OR UNCOVER SOMETHING BURIED - EMOTIONS LOCKED AWAY IN THE DEEP CONNECTIVE TISSUE OF MY MUSCLES.... RUNNING IS FORCEFUL AND MEDITATIVE... IF I'M NOT FEELING CREATIVE, A RUN WILL HELP ME GET OUT OF A RUT. RUNNING OUTSIDE CONNECTS ME TO THE EARTH - THE SUN, AIR, AND THE SOUNDS STIMULATE MY SENSES. I'M NOT SAYING RUNNING IS A "CURE-ALL' FOR LIFE'S PROBLEMS, IT'S MORE LIKE A DRUG, BUT 600D. PROBABLY...
