I'm on the verge of 100k views on Nonewwavenofun, considering I don't really advertise or promote it much, is not too shabby.

I started it as love letter to new music and although I don't always get the time, it will always remain that way.

Support your local music blog in any way possible.

It's not out of love, it's out of hurt
Tears will drown us out till nothing's left
And I keep running running running out
