I knew by the sound of it landing in the the bag that it was a CD, and there was only one CD that I knew was coming my way, and it was this one.
We used to rip off the "10 CDs for $1" ads from Columbia House all the time when we were kids, and a few weeks before I had put down my pick for Alice in Chains' "Jar of Flies".
The songs on this album still remind me of the autumn in southern Maryland. Or at least how I remember it. |
I have pretty strong memories of that album too, though not from when it was new or anything. Most of my memories involve hanging out with my roommates, stoned off my ass. It was my first year out of college, working a 40 hour week for the first time in my life and most nights after work me and my roommates would hang out, smoke and listen to music.
Jar of Flies was on heavy rotation in that apartment as were
The Mollusk and
White Pepper by Ween,
Moon Safari by Air, and
Play by Moby.
