Re: Nostalgia poll:
The Romeo and Juliet Soundrack and Counting Crows- August and Everything After.
Both remind me of my first love, who dumped me, then we got back together and I dumped him for another guy. It was a big mess and these two albums are like my soundtrack to it all. I was obsessed with both of them.
Sublime 40 oz. to Freedom.
We?d go to Mexico on the weekends to drink, and I remember driving down to this album with friends while smoking (yes, yes, I know, very bad, we were stupid).
We?d then sleep in our cars at the border til we sobered up to drive home (yes, yes, I know, even more stupid).
Yesterday I was feeling nostalgic because it was my favorite radio station's 44th birthday (WMMR yeah!!) and they were doing blocks from different years.
It made me realize that I am yearning to listen to this:
Which reminds me of keg parties in High School and going on road trips with my girlfriends.
My BFF wants me to drive to Boston with her in a few weeks and I am totally downloading this for the trip.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
My first car:
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
Peter Gabriel - SO - was my go to soundtrack for all-nighters. I still listen to "Big Time" when I need a break.
Shawn Mullins - Soul's Core - I listened to this daily in college. Shuddup.
Sloan- Navy Blues reminds me of painting my senior thesis with my cat's eye hipster glasses on. ha!
Wilco- Summerteeth, appropriately reminds me of hanging out in the backyards of my friends on summers home from college and seeing Wilco like three times that year.
And Pink Floyd- Division Bell reminds me of the last summer my grandpop was alive. Two songs from that record were mega-radio hits and we heard them SO much laying out by the lagoon.
ME TOO.
I remember pulling away from home on my way to college with "Feels Like Home" playing and I was just bawling my eyes out.
It turned out my grandpa passed away later that day and the last time I saw him was when I said goodbye to my family. He wasn't feeling well and had a massive stroke just a couple of hours later. I drove back home the next day and had to miss my first 3 days of college to go to his funeral. It was the pits. :-(
OH GAWD, here I go......................
Pretty sure that was Bon Jovi.
I second all of these - they remind me of my mom cleanign the house when I was young. Music blared, I knew Tapestry and Fire and Rain by heart. Life sucked by all accounts then for my parents, but man I was oblvious to it all. ANd it was long sunny days and playing outside and doing chores for my allowance. I can smell the house, and her hair just thinking about it.
I got the sads now.
Isnt it odd, how the entire scene comes back to you? I can picture my brother playing guitar, cross legged on the floor. I still know every song by heart from those records. "Some times I wonder if I'm ever gonna make it home again it's so far and out of sight".
sob.
It's always like this with memories of my mom... or our house. Like I've blocked out all the bad and remember silly things like all of us getting ready to go out to a family shindig and how her leather jacket smelled with her perfume.. and cigarettes LOL.
Or sun tanning in the back yard with her and her telling us we're "blocking her sun" ... man the most random things come back when i hear those tunes. House work every weekend, that woman couldn't clean without tunes blaring.
Egads! You are right. It was the Slip of the Tongue album.
