It's the most wonderful time of the year. I mean seriously - big ups to all the pretty girls flauting their shit. Big ups to all the husky gents (including myself) who throw it out there (when I can - the new tattoo is a bit prohibitive). Yes, it's summertime which means the Siren Fest (Loose Preview) is knock, knock, knockin' on Jay Belin's door. But before you get a chance to turn from clear to red, Insound is here to help in the assisted suicide of your Friday morning. Put on a pair of shorts (you know I won't) and head over to Supreme Trading to catch my favorite married couple +1 (and a handsome plus one at that). I'll be at the front door dishing out the goon until the queen arrives, (you are coming aren't you). It should be an outstanding even full of booze, a couple cigarettes, unwelcomed sweaty hugs, hopefully a touch of making out, maybe some dancing and a punch in the balls from captain Steve. Oh, and don't be a turbofag (is that insensitive?) - go to Siren and rock out with the likes of Man Man, Dirty On Purpose, The Cribs, Priestess, The Brut, The Stills and whatever other bands might float your boat after powering through the biggest batch of bacon cheese fries you've ever seen.

They're baaaack! Insound's having a party in Brooklyn, and you're all invited as we present: Insound's Return of Shorts 2: The Beach.
