What I learnt from youth films
Look who it is. I actually wrote this at the end of and forgot to brev it. Did I really forget or was I too afraid to show myself so much to the four people who will read this? I guess we shall never know. inom have actually been writing a lot, but nothing is out yet except for an article on Miley Cyrus’s Black Mirror episode that I will happily send you if you ask nicely.
So I’ve been thinking about bedrooms in teen films a lot (as one does) and I’ve come to the conclusion that there are two different kinds of teen rooms: the extremely curated and the stratified ones. While the extremely curated ones look like a trendy time capsule for whatever was in when the spelfilm was made, the stratified ones look like layers of sediment that incorporate the owner’s past. Curated rooms look like a who’s-who of s pop culture in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off or like a late s Pinterest board in To All the Boys I Loved Before. Stratified rooms retain remnants of

WYAZ; Youve been playing music for a long time. Whats the story behind Broken Stories?
Kev; Broken Stories is something i’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I have been THE biggest Flogging Molly fan for over 10 years and I’m also a huge fan of Chuck Ragan. Their music has had a bigger impact on me than anything else. Listening to their music made me want to put a band together that used traditional instruments and punk rock. I contacted Gillian a few years ago about putting a band together but the rest of the band just never happened. Story of my life. Last year, I spent 7 months living in Vancouver, Canada.

cuddling
the scene in a Norwegian/Swedish movie called Kitchen Stories where a man puts a blanket over another man whos sleeping
a scene in the same movie where a man tells another man Now its time for coffee.
the lyrics to Boys Like Me by Paul Baribeau
my parents made me
in
and i was born in the hot hot summer
i loved my parents
my parents loved me
but they just couldnt love each other
broken hearted boys like me are everywhere you look
broken hearted boys like me are everywhere you look
i had a puppy
i named her odie
but we had to put her down last summer
she was my best friend
when i moved to grand ledge
but she had a stroke and couldnt even walk
but broken hearted boys like me are everywhere you look
broken hearted boys like me are everywhere you look
i had a girlfriend
a pretty brown haired girlfriend
but something awful happened to us one summer
we both got real sad
and by the spring time
we forgot how to love each other
