i found an old tape my brother made me when i was in high school, maybe 17 or so. my goodness, does that bring back some memories. most of it was stuff released well before 93, like Beatles the Smiths, aretha franklin, etc. it's funny though because a lot of the songs on there i now have the cd to because I loved them so much. so they're songs i'm very very familiar with. and of course, they all remind me of my brother. there's a great queen song on it, a tom petty song that most people don't know (zombie zoo), U2, and They might be giants. all bands i wasn't familiar with at all when he gave me the tape. in fact, i doubt i recognized a single artist on that tape the first time i heard it. the next song on it, waiting for me in the car, is the cure's mixed version of "Close to Me." it's inredible, especially the mix version. i used to play that so loud in my car. i remember camping with patrick my last spring break of high school. i took him to the phone to call his parents - this was still at the campsite before we went hiking in the woods for a few days. i played that song in my truck while waiting for him. Apparently, some other guy hanging around the area heard the entire song too, emanating from my truck. I remember trying to stick the song in my head because we were leaving all music behind when we hiked out in the morning. Wow. what was i doing camping with just me and Pat and Matt when I was only seventeen? but we were, singing songs in the truck on the way there and on the way back, playing Axis and Allies at the campsite under the parking lot light until 2 or 3 am. That tape though, my brother titled it "Elvis in America" after a U2 song on the tape. It's worked through my memories, focusing much of my musical taste, so copied after my brother's, so clueless was I as to anything at the time. I don't want to go back there, though. No, I hate the feeling of looking back and realizing that I missed so much. But I'm here now, and I'm not missing so much anymore. still, the music sings in my head.
