I just showered and it felt goooooood.
It's heavenly to get the grime from work off.
I get so dirty that i have to get a new loofah each week because the old one is so fucking gross.
I'm skipping my 5:00 nap today, & playing in the tuesday night tournament out at hot shots.
Wish me luck (as if i'd even need it).
I'm listening to Pearl Jam's "Black" right now, and digging it.
It's the Live on Two Legs version.
I love rediscovering old favorite songs.
Black is one of the many PJ songs that i love live versions of, but don't really care too much for the studio versions. Mostly it is because in the studio version, it just fades out right after the vocals end.
In the live version, there are like 2 extra minutes where Mike McCready plays a gut-wrenching solo that pretty much just grabs your soul & grinds it against the filthy, gritty and grayed concrete that is lost love. ...Or lost ANYTHING, for that matter. It perfectly translates into sound the frustrating and maddening feeling of wanting something that you can't have or don't have anymore SO FUCKING BADLY that it hurts.
To me, it makes the song... and i really can't see how they could not include it on the album.
If you haven't heard it, then i implore you to
GIVE IT A LISTEN It could probably even make a republican feel emotion.
It's just plain fucking beautiful.
I have always thought so.
There are more recent things/people that i have found lots of beauty in, too... but that is a whole other 3 or 4 pages.
