Hey guys.
So I know I haven't updated in like 400 years but I realized a few days ago (I guess on the 27th or 28th of August) that I don't think I've ever chronicled my time in Cincinnati (Dec 2007 - Aug 2008) and 6yrs have passed since I left but loads of music reminds me of those groovy old days.
This was on the radio during my first night in Cincy. It was windy and cold that night, but nowhere near as cold as it was where I'd come from (Minnesota). It was really a perfect song. I was on a night drive.
Led Zeppelin - "Immigrant Song"
I also had my first taste of MSI that year.
Mindless Self Indulgence - "Shut Me Up"
Night driving and grooving to this jam = fond memories of a youth well spent.
Gerry Rafferty - "Right Down the Line"
And all the vinyl I bought from the shops.
Seals & Crofts - "Summer Breeze"
Billy Idol - "Hot in the City"
The Cars - "Hello Again" (Dub version)
And that time I ripped the fender off my car backing out of a parking spot.
Simon & Garfunkel - "Homeward Bound"
..Or when I was rear-ended going to the record shop.
The Go-Go's - "Tonite"
And all the cassettes I picked up in the shops for that car.
ABBA - "Angel Eyes"
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - "Don't Come Around Here No More"
....And when the recession hit and I lost my car. On my birthday.
Pink Floyd - "Comfortably Numb"
The long drive back to my hometown after the drugs had ravaged my soul...
The Beatles - "Golden Slumbers/Carry That Weight/The End/Her Majesty"
Here's to 6 years since one of the most enthralling, wonderful, devastating, horrific things that ever happened to me.
