Another Update! yay

Funny how songs have this amazing power to trigger certian memories, certian times in your life. You can remember where you were the first time you heard a song or what you were doing when it was playing.
The first time I heard OMC "How Bizarre" it was my senior year and came down to Des Moines to stay with Erin. We went to see Bush in Ames Saturday night and Drake Relay phrat parties Friday night. We were on our way up to Ames and it came on. Everyone in the car knew every word and I had never even heard the song.
Anything by Biggie reminds me of my high school days hanging out with Melissa, later on in our friendship...mainly Hypnotize. Nine Inch Nails "Closer" was more towards the begining of our legacy.
N2 Deep "Back to the Hotel" fills me with memories of Danyelle and I siting up in her apartment by the now empty lot that used to house my alma matta Central middle school and going to State Beach in Clear Lake all summer back in the mid 90's.
DMX "Up In Here" reminds me when Ivy was a baby and Robin would tell me how Ivy actually likes DMX...it calmed her down. I thought she was crazy.
Ugly Kid Joe's rendition of "Cats in the Cradel" reminds me of an ex I had in high school. I still don't know why it took me so long to get over him.
Eve "Whos That Girl" reminds me of the night Matt Murray and I were on our way to Karioke at the Rose Bowl one Friday night and he starting singing along with the radio...this coming from a guy who is all about rock. He looked over at me and said "I like this song" with such a serious face...then kept belting out the words.
Billy Joel "And So It Goes" reminds me when Hiedi would pick me up for Tae Kwon Do in her huge black Bronco.
112 "Dance With Me" takes me back to zipping around the busy streets of downtown Boston with Wendy.
Madonna "Music" brings back visions of Mark singing horribly off key at the Rose Bowl every Wednesday and Friday night. It was always a hit with the drunken crowd.

Oh goody...Fucktard has arrived...and not to any suprise...loudly and slamming doors.
What the duce???
Sounds like he is either beating the meat pole or vomiting.
I hope he choaks on his own puke!

Primal Scream "Rocks" sends me to a dark, croweded, sweat stenched little bar called Lu's durring Teen Jam's...the highlight of every other Sunday in my earlier high school days. It was nothing but flannel, baggy jeans, the occasional fight between jock and tough guy and little plastic cups filled with ones favorite pop.
This is one of those lists that could go on forever. I'll add to the list as more come to me.


Update...yay
Ani Defranco and Rusted Root take me back to my senior year of high school. This guy Chad lived down the road on the lake. He had just moved there from Maine, just turned 21 and just became everyones new best friend. That was the place to drink every weekend.

Another update...yay!

So as I was home over easter weekend, Robin, Sara and I went to Rookies *sigh* It was fun. Robin and Sara made it fun. As we were swimming through the sea of sweaty perfume/cologne drenched bodies...an old favorite streamed through the speakers. Nelly's "Country Grammer". That song will always and forever remind me of the Hill in Cedar Falls and zipping aimlessly through Waterloo. That was the hottest song to hit the airwaves in a long time. That whole CD was pretty good actually...I still have it on tape somewhere. (can't even hardly buy tapes anymore) Too bad all the fame went to Nelly's head and he sold out. Make the money Nelly...don't let it make you!
