Wasn't that how we first met? Or was it that necro porn shoot we did together?
The band I'm currently in practices at the drummers house. He's 40, lives alone and has that whole overflowing ashtray, yellowed sheets, cockroaches vibe going on. It's fucking disgusting and needless to say I touch NOTHING in his house.
