Why didn't I think of this sooner?
May. 25th, 2001 01:02 amI'm sitting in my kitchen/computer room, drinking a beer, smoking a cigarette, and listening to Silkworm's Albini-recorded first post-Phelps, masterpiece Firewater. This record is basically a concept album - about being on a bender. Almost every song on this double album deals with some aspect of drunkeness, the causes for it, and the effects of it.
Heh. I can relate.
I've owned this album for almost six years, and it hasn't semed as poignant to me as it does now. Same with the Afghan Whigs' Gentleman. That record has been receiving some serious spin time in my CD player at work.
I think I've moved out of the depressing-music-that-reminds-me-of-my-ex-girlfriend phase, and into the these-motherfuckers-feel-my-pain-music phase. Zoinks.
Went out with Stacy tonight. First, we had a fabu dinner at the 5 Spot. Mmmm mmm good. Then it was off to ...ing for a drinky or four. For me. Stacy drank quasi-ginger ale. She's preggers, so no booze for her. Ziggy & Peter showed up and sat at the other end of the bar from us. Apparently Stacy & I got some evil stares from them when we were leaving. I didn't notice. Heh.
After a stop at the Harvard QFC, she dropped me off, and here I am, still awake far after I should be.
Gonna finish my brewski and go to bedski.
Thatnks Stace. I needed that. :)
