Hangover. Haven't had one of these for a while.
Last night I went to the Deer Park to hear a band with Jax and K. The band-Petland-was fantastic. They were swirly and shoegazey and reminded me of sounds and experiences from back in the day. $2 Pete's Wickeds and Tribe or Morphine at Bowler's. Bass Ale and The Curtain Society at Ralph's. Kamikazis and Adorable at Club Babyhead. $8 Sam Adams pitchers at Sir Morgan's Cove.
I had to imitate the Downstairs-at-Middle-East Cambridge scenester for Jax-the slouch, the arms crossed, the scowl, the head bob. I had some friends that started managing and promoting bands back then-when they became the scowling scenesters going out became less fun.
So now it's Deer Park, and wine, and wishing I had ear plugs.
nostalgia,
music,
hipsterdom,
navel-gazing
