We do it whenever we're out and about and we encounter those worse for the drink, worse for the drugs, or worse for the whatever, we lean in close to one another and say "It's not us, it's not us, it's not us," really fast like the words are going to escape.
LOWLIFE is one of those books that walks through the hazy realm of late-teens/early twenties autobiographical fiction.
There's too much at play on the page to be merely the work of fiction, the stories are too seared with sadness and rage to not have come from somewhere old but not quite forgotten, but at the same time there's a certain artistry and conceit to the stories told.

 TrouserPress.com :: Lowlife
Despite Lowlife's concentration on ambience, the affecting "Wild Swan" is a lovely song, punctuated by repeated guitar triplets fluttering overhead.
The aptly titled and excellent Diminuendo reduces Lowlife's volume by stripping the arrangements of their thickening ingredients, leaving only the bass, simple drums and frugal bits of guitar and keyboards to support Lorentson's increasingly ambitious and musical vocals.
While understandably moving to erase the New Order comparisons, the misnamed Godhead lacks the emotional drive that sparks all of Lowlife's other albums and winds up labored and dull, a collection of unaffecting songs that plod — even at brisk tempos.

 Lowlife: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com
The three recordings are crystalline clear, with great dynamic range and separation among the instruments, suiting the music -- which can range from white-hot free jazz to quiet chamberesque musings -- quite well.
In the first of the three, Lowlife [+], a searching quality tends to dominate the three lengthy tracks, as the band usually takes its time reaching explicit statements of Berne's (and Julius Hemphill [+]'s) thematic material.
The journey here was worth it and would have been enough, but of course Berne had an unexpected payoff in waiting all along.

This collection of Lowlife stories, detailing the travails of one Thomas Booker, demonstrates Brubaker's clear art and meticulous skill with everyday characters.
While it may seem to fit squarely in the "autobiograhpical" school of comics or the wider "slacker" genre, Brubaker has some insights that place him at a level removed from conventional categorization.
One thing that sets Lowlife immediately apart from similarly themed works like Box Office Poison is that Tommy simply isn't a nice guy.

 A lowlife look at JDM and Sleepr cars [Archives] - MONTREALRACING
I'm not a hater or nothing...just saying that lowlife is a show crew (that should not be considered an insult).
If you think lowlife is a fast crew you really need to check the isrcrew.:eek: Most of the other crews are 16 years old kids withstock civic dx...of course they are going to be slower.
What I agree with is I could care less what cars Lowlife has, because it doesn't affect me. No one's crew affects me. I am glad that people can get together, form a club, and have fun with their cars.

 PostEverything : Highpoint Lowlife
Highpoint Lowlife was founded in the summer of 2001 by Thorsten Sideb0ard and Joseph Hurt.
It was originally based in San Francisco, built upon the success of a local club night called :Node that the two had been running.
The music on the label and the live events reflects the taste of the two label heads, from soft guitars to noisy electronics or vice-versa, disparate enough to hopefully not be pigeonholed, yet forming a coherent face of quality and experimentation.
