When I'm on my bike. I've taken cycling to the cop show most mornings. This not only wakes me up in the mornings and releases the agro-energy of the working day, but it's allowing me to revive long-forgotten articles of clothing. And long-forgotten cassette tapes. I don't (yet) have an iPod. My discman is pro-shock. So I've hauled out my old cassettes and am reliving my undergrad memories.
My all-time favourite LPs from that era: The Lemonheads' Lick and Lovey. This was far before the pop crapness of It's a Shame About Ray, though the ingredients are definitely there in the wankish nod to Gram Parsons, "Brass Buttons". Forget about Britney: remember when Julianna Hatfield's virginity was the ne plus ultra of music gossip? Yeah, that was right around the time that Evan Dando started sucking. Damn. What ever happened to Ben Deily?
