Nah, I just happened to have it with me cuz I was gonna try to take pictures of it, and ended up using the photobooth instead.

I actually have several years worth of Rockets in a box at home. I want someone to give me money so I can get started on my archiving project for them.

nice. I wish I had kept some.

I used to have every issue of the Stranger from issue #2 through sometime in 2001. I had to get rid of most of them during one of my many moves. I need my own library!

That Everclear album is definitely So Much For the Afterglow, Elliott Smith was maybe Either/Or?, Ken Stringfellow maybe This Sounds Like Goodbye.

And my brain is clearly full of way too much crap.

[silverfae9]

Oh, and that 764-Hero is probably We're Solids.

[p0tat0es.livejournal.com]

Nicely done, young Jedi.

I can't remember my own phone number half the time, but albums from late 1997? Those I remember.

That is happy. You weird little pack-rat, you.

It's true. You should see my collection of Spins and Rolling Stones from the early 90s...

Perfect From Now On and Dig Me Out are 10 years old?

Sheesh, we're getting old, jefe.

We keep getting older, but they stay the same age

[p0tat0es.livejournal.com]

No shit. Funny enough, Modest Mouse currently has the #1 record in the NW, and NOFX is coming to town...

ugh, thank god the days of "zoot suit riot" are behind us.

[p0tat0es.livejournal.com]

That song - hell, the whole genre - is shudder-inducing.


This is the only Zoot I'm inclined to like:
