fixed gear


haven't posted in a few days. i started work as a slave at maxi's pizza today. i'm working tuesday/thursday from 10 pm until 3 am. i don't know how i'm going to do that and get up for class and such, but hopefully it'll work. tryna make some money so i can expand my cd collection/expand my fledgling modern vinyl collection/buy some lna cassettes. also want some boots. also need some groceries and some more seltzer water.

i have recently become interested in 'fixed gear' bicycles. i thought they were interesting a few months ago, but for whatever reason i sort of forgot about it. saw this video (couldn't embed it for some reason) the other day, fascinated by their transformation from messenger gear to track sport to x-treme urban sport to hipster accessory. my roommate has one, i've ridden it once. they are legitimately difficult to ride, it's tough to get used to the continuous pedaling/lack of brakes. but it is definitely interesting, certainly more of a hobby than what most of us probably consider bike riding (stationary bike at the gym, shittie mountain bike as a means of transportation). i would consider making one if it didn't cost like $500. whatever. maybe with the money i make as a pizza slave i'll be able to afford one in a few years.


FIXED CITY - "bicycle not brake-cycle"


is golden ages trendy? i really like him/them. i'm definitely going to buy their album whenever it comes out and see them at some lil venue before/after their album comes out.
why do shittie bands typically exist with similar names as cool bands?
