Teen Sex Energy / Land Money Power
By Mattathias Schwartz
Now I wish to speak about the moment after we see that most everything is bullshit, during a period of life when we have the ability to communicate this perception and the certainty of our feeling to a community of peers, but before the moment when we accept that the bullshit is perpetual, that it represents some natural state of affairs, and that the sooner we get over...

Make Me A Fool
thehouseofcoxhead:
After the first listen, here is one of my favourite tracks from The Foreign Exchange’s new album, Authenticity. Make Me A Fool features FE family member Median and the incredibly talented Jesse Boykins III. The album is spectacular, but I won’t go into any detail, because there will be a review coming very soon.

Dear Coke Talk: On giving up brain cells. →
I was wondering about your use of cocaine. You seem like a highly intelligent woman, and yet I was under the assumption that cocaine kills brain cells? Especially after repeated use.
Forgive me for any ignorance.
Sure, cocaine might kill a few brain cells. You know what else might? Damn near every other modern product you can drink, swallow, or inhale, starting with that vodka tonic you’re...
