[destroyed your notion of circular time]

Jun 30, 2008 11:12

I don't know, internets, it's Monday and it took me forever to fall asleep last night even though I was exhausted, and then I had really weird creepy dreams about vampires -- you lie, Gerard Way! They wanted to hurt me! AND YOU WEREN'T IN MY DREAM TO SAVE ME -- and it took me twice as long as it should have to run my errands because I kept doing ( Read more... )

and i fell for the stones before i really knew the beatles, as a very early teenager (my folks listened to a lot of bob dylan and joan baez when i was a kid, very little of anything else), so i think it may just be early imprinting. :)

i still owe you "it's all over now baby blue", but i figured for a post about the stones, a soundboard of jason doing "sway" was appropriate.

It is official "forget you wallet" week? I had a fantastic fiasco yesterday when I left mine in an i-go car yesterday.

at least i just left mine at home -- it was just a lot of extra driving, alas. did you get yours back?

I'm boycotting yr poll! Truthfully I love early Stones more but the Beatles knew when to split up, that's a skill few bands have. True fact: my mum didn't let us listen to the Stones until we were eleven because she thought they might corrupt our young minds with all that semi-ironic lyrical misogyny etc.

ps i hate the pixies!! i hate the pixies like i hate PAVEMENT1. actually no that's unfair, i just resent the pixies because i have tried very hard to get into them at various times from age fifteen on and it never worked.

1 i.e. a LOT.

i think for me it's just that i imprinted on the stones early in my teenage years -- it's not nostalgia, per se, but it's an early influence.

it makes me sad that you hate the pixies (and pavement, too, tbh -- crooked rain crooked rain is such a beloved album to me), but to each their own. if i didn't have an ex who'd hooked me on the pixies when we were in high school, i know i wouldn't love them like i do now.

I had a really strong Stones phase when I was about twelve and obsessed with my parents' vinyl collection, but it was pretty much limited to their 1960s singles, since we had so many 45s: there's not a song on 'high tide and green grass' I don't love fiercely and completely. Anything after that, though, I barely know exists.

Critically-acclaimed American indie rock of the 90s is my kryptonite! (uh bar sonic youth and sleater-kinney) (and some other bands) (whatever) I've never been able to work out why. One of my best friends tried really hard with the Pixies when we were fifteen or sixteen - made tapes, taught me to plav 'here comes your man' on the guitar, the whole works - but it just wouldn't take. Hopeless case, me.
