shame is so in this season

r.e.m.iniscing

i've been going though my ipod in attempt to weed out the old and bring in the new. so to do that, i've hooked it up to my work computer and played the entire library on random. and random it has been. sometimes good, sometimes bad, and quite often quite shameful. but there have been a few that automatically take me back to the time when i used to play said song on repeat (and most likely sing at the top of my lungs). here's a few that have sparked mini time warps in the last couple hours.

"everybody hurts" by your favorite blue eye stripe sporting politico (and mine) takes me back to fifth grade... a time when the drama of being ten years old was so overwhelming that i needed to find solace in the fact that everybody (indeed) hurts.

"undone (the sweater song)" off the weezer blue album. andrea, ryann and i would sing it all the time, not knowing or caring what the words even meant. and i still don't know, or really care for that matter. oh no, it go, it gone, bye bye (hii)

"i alone" by live. oh man. we used to scream along to the whole throwing copper album at christy erickson's infamous sleepover parties where we'd t-p her neighbors but do a really crappy job of it because we were only 4 feet tall.

"grace" by the one and only jeff buckley. i cried when i listened to this album. it's that good. if you don't have it, you should. i will make you a copy and send it to you.

"ride with me" by the trademark then-bandaided dirty south rapper/actor/soon-to-be reality show star. oh the memories of freshman year in college. taking hours to get ready to go use our fake ids downtown but end up back on campus at some generic frat party. visions of black pants and peacoats and sugarplums dance in my head.

your turn.
