Holidays In United States [Daytrotter / Best of Paste Magazine]

“Let’s get high,” she said.
“Let’s get high.”
“29,” she said.
“Let’s get high
Before there’s nothing left to smoke here
There’s an ashtray in the stairs.
Before this is nobody’s apartment
Before everybody stares.”
“Let’s get high.”

“Hey 29, she said.  
“Do you feel alright?
You look so dry, my friend.
Let’s get high
Before cold waves of depression
Remind us all just who we are.
And we’ll stream shows while we curse cable,
Scoff at strangers, they own cars.”
“Let’s get high.”

“25,” she said.
“But its alright.”
Its all clocks and lies, babe.
Let’s get high.
Before we both stop long enough
To see the damage or the death.
Before every inhalation becomes
Another wasted breath.”
“Let’s get high.”



“It’s alright,” she said.
“It’s alright.”
“Appeal denied,” she said.
“But its alright.”
“Now you’ll need a guarantor,
If you want walls around your bed.
Its just a standard lease precaution, 
I hope your mother isn’t dead.”
"Let’s get high."

The Untrained Eye

"Brian Cherchiglia’s music, whether it’s the stuff that he does with his band The Bottom Dollars or all that he does under a truncated version of his last name, goes something like this: It’s showing up for church on Sunday mornings. It’s showing up for church on Sunday mornings with the taste of Saturday night still on their tongues. It’s showing up for church on Sunday mornings, with the sunlight feeling too damned bright. It’s showing up with mud caking the back tires and the lower half of the truck body. It’s having a flask tucked, at all times, in the inside pocket of any coat that would ever be worn. It’s keeping that flask healthily full with something that coats. It’s keeping every photograph of grandma, grandpa, mom and dad that are still around. It’s looking at them and being reminded of how much you look like all of them and wonder if they were feeling the same ways that they are currently feeling, at the same stages in their lives. It’s feeling time get washed completely the fuck away. It’s feeling helpless and not drunk enough. It’s feeling too drunk, but having it still feel like not being drunk enough. It’s love and it’s a sore throat after a great night with old friends. It’s a sore throat after a night of arguing, of losing. It’s sadness and it’s happiness, in equal measures."
