name the times when you've listened to music, and it seems to be much more than a song
one time i was on a coach trip, and it was snowing and i was listening to 'all is full of love (album vers)' by Bjork. The song is quite bare compared to the single (ie less instruments) and the snow and the song fitted perfectly. it was beautiful

...you just invited me to stell you the story of my life...  but okay, on friday it snowed, i mean, it REALLY snowed and i was at a friend's and when i went home through the snowfall i listened to taking back sunday's 'great romances of the 20th century'... that was so good. and as i'm listening to hundred reasons at the moment, i remember that one time last summer when i was laying on the beach of a lake near munich and the world was so fucking okay having 'silver' in my ears, sun on my skin and a beauuuutifulllllll lake 10 feet away... i just wished my best friend would've been there too so we could have shared that moment. but anyway i'm really looking forward for this summer when we're going to Sweden with her family and yes, you guessed it, camping near a lake... and i'm gonna take my guitar with me and we're playing pink floyd's 'wish you were here' all over and over... |

...you just invited me to stell you the story of my life... wow, i just invented a new word. 'stell', which means to tell a story to someone stealing his time... nevermind all the grammatical mistakes, it's not my mother tongue and unfortunately i never had the chance to practise my english skills except on the internet and in school... |

here's one moment I can think of...
when I was home for thanksgiving break last year, I just burned Mogwai's "Come on Die Young", and I fell in love with the song "Christmas Steps". so that night, well morning I should say, at about 1:30am I decided to strap on my headphones and go for a walk with this CD. I must have listened to "Christmas Steps" about three times in a row, and the song is about 10 minutes long, so I was walking around my neighborhood for a while... freezing my ass off and smoking Camel Lights the whole time. that song just seemed to match that moment in time perfectly.

christmas steps is a freakin awesome song...didnt know mogwai sounded like this. OH Cokes, I totally know what you're talking about...cuz I had a similar walking experience. About a year ago, when I moved away from my hometown to live alone and get some space, I was having the shittiest time, and I decided to go for a walk on a cool October night. I decided to listen to Broken Social Scene, and the song was Stars and Sons. I walked with my eyes closed for what seemed to be 5 minutes, I was totally in a trance....surreal feeling.

I'm glad your liking the Mogwai sound, man. they're gradually becoming one of my top five bands. you should check out more songs by them, in particular a song called "2 rights make 1 wrong" |

:: picks peanuts out of his eardrums :: Yeah, I'm back. That's the last time I fly Southwest.
Anyway, yeah, one day I found an album in a blank case that was just flat back. I decide to put in in my computer to listen to it, and Windows Media Player popped up with the World battery effect... then, an instrumental song fades in and is just so beautiful, wonderful, I watch the twirling circles on the screen orchestrate the instruments. (I was also unsober at the time)... turned out to be Bjork's Selmasongs album (Soundtrack to Dancer in the Dark w/ the sweet duet with Thom Yorke).
Another music memory I remember is on the last day of the millenium, I got up before sunrise, waited for the sun to crack over the mountains, then played "Plainsong" by the Cure on my Discman as I smoked a cig and contemplated my place in the world and where I was going... pink skies, golden clouds, it was all so surreal.

Hear this Robert Smith? Stan was right, Disintegration is the greatest album ever  I caught the Cure this summer, they were great, and we were in the 6th row from the floor at Arco Arena in Suckramento... I think, out of my favorite pantheon of bands, I still have to see Radiohead, QOTSA, Sparta and a Beatle (halftime @ superbowl didn't count). Interpol probably wouldn't be a bad show, either. |

I also saw the Cure this past summer and was also quite close. maybe like the 10th row back... and I also saw Interpol too. I'm guessing you saw the Cure at Curiosa, so wouldn't you have seen Interpol there too? |
