air feels electric: green with suspense, as if a storm was coming. Though the rains never come, the silent, shifting communication between men’s eyes—as if they’re waiting for a sign to spring into action—sets the tone. As I try to make out with my boyfriend, a dude on a bike hocks a loogie with remarkable aim just inches from my ankle. It may not be glamorous, but it’s real, and in an age where corporatization and gentrification have flattened some of our best spots, it’s the places like Revere Beach, unrelenting in their character, that inspire me as an artist the most.

Emily may
Taurus: Clothes that Taurus can spill coffee on and still continue to wear without shame are the new black, brown, camouflage, and raincoat material. Lucky show: Ava Luna @ Great Scott Gemini :If you continue to subsist solely on nuts and berries then Mother Nature will invite you to shit where you eat. Lucky show: Exit Order @ Sinclair Cancer: Cancer was quasi-recently doored and lost a front tooth in the incident. In the interim Cancer wears a Maxillary Central Incisor attached to a thin plastic retainer; remember to remove before deep-tissue fellatio or sipping hot tea. Lucky show: Valerie Martino @ Cafe Fixe Leo: Leo's idea of a good time is almost identical to Jimmy Buffett's. Lucky show: Silk Purse @ Deep Thoughts Virgo: If you Instagram documentation of your art and someone comments on it, "Rad," you should feel a little insulted; "rad" isn't really an exclamation of awe, its really closer to a cough. Lucky show: Patsy @ Zuzu Libra: Whenever you see a cute dog or a human baby, you coo and hoot at it emphatically, and its caregiver thinks, "MY FACE IS UP HERE." Lucky show: Lydia Lunch @ Elks Lodge
james walsh Aquarius: If you owe someone $50, show them you're working on paying them back by 'liking' all of their mobile uploads. If you owe a credit card company $4k and they send a paralegal to your house to serve you lawsuit papers, show them your ass through a locked window because your full moon is one of the highest honors you can bestow. Lucky show: Break the Chains @ Make Shift
Capricorn: Become a spiritual leader! You can keep all of your short temperedness and nonbeliever'tude while confusing your followers into cleaning your bathroom and changing their names to whatever alphabet jumble you desire. Lucky show: Preggy Peggy @ Blue Bag Records
Scorpio: When you finally quit drinking, many of the positive results are instantaneous, butt your face will still appear hungover for a few years as punishment. Lucky show: Palberta @ Great Scott Sagittarius: The problem with behaving passive-aggressively all the time is that when the guilt sets in you technically have nothing to apologize for. Lucky show: Flesh Narc @ Charlie's Kitchen Pisces:If making people feel bad about who they are and the kind of music they like is an in~alien~able right for you then perhaps it is time to leave Earth in a UFOckyourself. Lucky show: Mark McGuire (Emeralds) @ Deep Thoughts
