Consider Me Miles Davis

Posted on July 28, 2011 by erineph

Earlier today, I was telling Katie about this video of the Juggalo Gathering that I sometimes watch when I’ve had a really bad day at work. You’d think that the general themes of stupidity, filth, and terrible music would make … Continue reading →

Never Not Ever

Posted on July 26, 2011 by erineph

Posted on July 17, 2011 by erineph
