Music is a time machine. It puts events, things, and feelings in a tangible vessel. Today the Proustian madeline is working its devastating magic on me with this band.
We went to a Blonde Redhead concert at the Knitting Factory. It was probably 1996. Ian Svenonious was there too I think. We went backstage. It made me think about fame. Jeremy was still friends with James. But he didn’t trust me yet. I bought La Mia Vita Violenta.
My friends Ari and Ethan are twins. Devin uses an MPC. My childhood idol, the Svengali, has fallen from favor. Spencer and I plan on punching him in his traitorious mouth at the opening next month.
This band is so beautiful. These songs makes me cry.
