	I was talking at you, you were overdosing quietly. You pass me your phone, my finger on the 9-9-9 key. But you sobered right up. 'I bought cranberry vodka, it's good for your bladder.' When you said that I knew that I want you.
- Matt Maltese, Nightclub Love Bad Contestant

	Don’t take it the wrong way. I can never keep up. Sick of Liking your selfies. Should’ve gone with my gut. Maybe I’m in a movie. Maybe I’m out to lunch. But I’m constantly swiping it and tapping, it’s not that relaxing, I need a new routine. She works out too much.

And sometimes, you know, you look at a baby, you know, they been here before, so they came back. And I met one angel through my cousin and she said that I would really like this person. And I did. I think also growing up, it's really hard, depending on where you come from. But either way it's hard. Physically too, because you get growing pains. And I hope that if I die and there's a heaven, they got dairy-free ice cream because my stomach is really sensitive on earth."
- Klein, Collect cc

Oh, no no, wait, he was my father. No. Wait. I'm not sure.' And you say, 'Please don't tell me your dream.' They go on anyway. 'Yeah, I think, yeah, he was my father! And he had this bloody severed head.' And they're telling you the dream like it's a movie that you might want to see some time and not something that's happening only in the back of their own head."

	"I know a girl whose one goal was to visit Rome. Then she finally got to Rome and all she did was post pictures for people at home, 'cos all that mattered was impressing everybody she's known. I know another girl that's cryin' out for help, but her latest caption is 'leave me alone'. I know a girl happily married 'til she puts down her phone. I know a girl that saves pictures from places she's flown to post later and make it look like she still on the go."
- Drake, Emotionless Scorpion

	"And the next thing I knew, I was standing in the dirt under the desert sky at night, outside Phoenix, at a music festival that had paid to fly me in to play these death songs to a bunch of young people on drugs. Standing in the dust next to an idling bus with Skrillex inside and the sound of subwoofers in the distance. I had stayed up 'til three talking to Weyes Blood and Father John Misty about songwriting in the backstage bungalows, eating fruit and jumping on the bed like lost children, exploding across the earth in a self-indulgent all-consuming wreck of ideas that blot out the stars. To be still alive felt so absurd. People get cancer and die. People get hit by trucks and die. People just living their lives get erased for no reason."
- Mount Eerie, Now Only Now Only

	"The seats have been bought, overcoats been taken off. Read the reviews, they were off the charts. The anticipation is practically steaming in the room, 'I hear the set design is state of the art.' A bright young singer is the lead of the show, he is as handsome as he's talented. He's got that certain kind of je ne sais quoi, a potential superstar. Women and men, ladies and gents, upper crust and working folks, blockbusters, dishwashers, lady-killers, and floor moppers, take to your seats, the show starts in ten. An elder lady clears her throat, then turns to her spouse, says she's not quite sure what all this fuss is about. 'Dear, The cast has virtually been showered in Tony's, Laurence Olivier Awards, and Obies.' Line the ladies up in sequin bathing suits of fine design. Let’s marvel as they dance, revel in the glance. You've never seen more dashing a show bathed in coordinated lighting. The evening's singer announces his entré in the roaring applause, a pistol he draws, and blows his brains all over the stage."
- Iceage, Showtime Beyondless

04
	"I wanna walk through the park in the dark. Men are scared that women will laugh at them. I wanna walk through the park in the dark. Women are scared that men will kill them. I hold my keys between my fingers."
- Courtney Barnett, Nameless, Faceless Tell Me How You Really Feel

03
	"'Is it the chorus yet?', 'No, it's just the building of the verse, so when the chorus does come, it'll be more rewarding.'"
- Car Seat Headrest, Bodys Twin Fantasy

02
	"You know, the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet is aleph. And the letter aleph actually has no sound. It's a letter with no sound, a mental letter. So to say aleph, you open your mouth and you think of the letter and you start to say it and then you stop. And that is aleph.
- Laurie Anderson & Kronos Quartet, Nothing Left But Their Names Landfall

01
	"I just wanted to be one of The Strokes. Now look at the mess you made me make."
- Arctic Monkeys, Star Treatment Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino
