a break in the weather
Oct. 13th, 2013 03:52 pmMusic post ahead—
I was flipping through my old music earlier today and came across a mix CD that I made in early 2002, when I was a freshman in college. I popped it in and listened to it as I was driving around town, and good lord did it take me back—coming back to my dorm room late at night on the weekends, still slightly drunk, the smell of Auston's fabric softener transferred to my own clothes, happy and confused and just barely an adult. Those really were the days, in hindsight.
It's interesting how certain music almost becomes part of you, imprinted somewhere in your brain in such a way that even after not listening to some of these songs for over a decade, I remembered them all precisely. (If not, in a lot of cases, the exact reason why I thought they were worthy of inclusion on a mix CD at the time.)
Tracklisting and related thoughts ( under the cut: )
