everything will change Thursday August 19

while the postal service's album "give up" is a top record of 2003, i was a late adopter. i didn't get on board until january 2004, and sitting here in mid-late august, i'd have to say that it's going to be, without a doubt, right next to jets to brazil, one of the influential albums of the year for my personal life.

the best part of music, for me, is that you can take from it what you want to take; you can interpret your own meaning from the lyrics, and in the end, it just helps you get by. the beats, the words. it's so hard to share, though, for that very reason: the circumstances under which everyone hears the same song are different, and thus while we can understand another song's value when someone explains it to us, we cannot easily duplicate the feeling they experience upon hearing it.

notable exceptions: when nate, todd, and i rocked out to stroke nine after watching jay and silent bob strike back in 2001, guster with heather in bloomington in 2002, and some frank sinatra. life is beautiful when listening to frank.
