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"

Spoiler for I can't wait for you to f*ck me up:


Night driving and grooving to this jam = fond memories of a youth well spent.

Gerry Rafferty - "Right Down the Line"

Spoiler for you know I need your love, you got that hold over me:


And all the vinyl I bought from the shops.

Seals & Crofts - "Summer Breeze"

Spoiler for sweet days of summer, the jasmine's in bloom:


Billy Idol - "Hot in the City"

Spoiler for when a long and lovely walks by ...:


The Cars - "Hello Again" (Dub version)

Spoiler for One hand on the ground, one hand in space:


And that time I ripped the fender off my car backing out of a parking spot.

Simon & Garfunkel - "Homeward Bound"

Spoiler for every stop is neatly planned for a poet and a one-man band:


..Or when I was rear-ended going to the record shop.

The Go-Go's - "Tonite"

Spoiler for get dressed up and messed up:


And all the cassettes I picked up in the shops for that car.

ABBA - "Angel Eyes"

Spoiler for Don't look too deep into those angel eyes:


Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - "Don't Come Around Here No More"

Spoiler for whatever you're looking for....don't come around here no more:


....And when the recession hit and I lost my car. On my birthday.

Pink Floyd - "Comfortably Numb"

Spoiler for there'll be no more "aaaaaahhhhh"...but you may feel a little sick:


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"

Spoiler for boy, you're gonna carry that weight....carry that weight a long time....:


Here's to 6 years since one of the most enthralling, wonderful, devastating, horrific things that ever happened to me.
