Victoria Brown's first chapbook of poetry shows that she's comfortable and confident with repurposed phrasing and leftover lyrics for the purpose of cementing concrete commentary about growing up through the analog to digital transition, and where it has led so many of us. Now I'm left wondering why Blossom and Punky Brewster never hooked up and whether I'd be able to hold it together if I ever find myself at a party again.

Substantially in the same vein as MDMA and Menthol Cigarettes. But different. You know the feeling. Best served with Sonic Youth's Goo.
