Music as memories as ideas.

Listening to "Only in Dreams" by weezer brings back the most ridiculous memories. I mean, not as ridiculous as say, that hidden track on Goldfinger's Hang Ups [CHICKEN MCNUGGETS ARE GOOD FOR YOU! GOOD FOR YOU!(quality, right?)], but memories of Pat B. in study hall my 8th grade year and how he constantly complained about how hard the bassline was, even though it is terribly easy. I can even remember the first time I listened to the blue album of my own accord. I was laying in bed, at age 14, thinking, "Wow, this is incredibly amazing. Why didn't I listen to this before?!?!"

Not many songs bring me back to the first time I heard them. Some albums do. Like Deja Entendu, for example.

I don't know where this is leading. Maybe I should write a book, like Nick Hornby's "Songbook". No one would read it though. I'm not a world famous author with movie adaptions of my novels. [By the way, About a boy...Book>>>movie. High Fidelity...Movie >>>>>>>>>>>>>>book.]


Also, I've also made a lovely mix of music.
Here it is:

Death Cab for Cutie: Blacking Out the Friction
Archers of Loaf: Plumb Line
Modest Mouse: Trailer Trash
Colour Revolt: Matresses Underwater
Jimmy Eat World: Lucky Denver Mint
Kevin Devine: Buried by the Buzz
Manchester Orchestra: I Can Barely Breathe [Live]
Jesse Lacey: Me Vs Maradona Vs Elvis [live in Jackson]
Radiohead: Paranoid Android
weezer: The World Has Turned and Left Me Here
The Shins: New Slang [Live featuring Sam Beam]
Bic Runga: Sway

I guess if you want this, hit up the comments, I'll up it for you.
I'm sure Apple's is better, but I figured 'what the heck? Why not spread my thoughts?'


Reading: My French Whore by Gene Wilder
Spinning: Fall Mix '07, silverchair: Neon Ballroom, weezer: weezer [blue]
