this is the other single pavement released in 1995
i saw them play at sammy's in 1993 and 1994 and then i got to see them last year on the awesome trip with my girl carrie - who was originally going to live in the york place monstrosity too
it has some of my favourite lyrics in it of all time
"callin' the bluffs, talkin' so tough goodbye to the ugly steeple fear"
this is (quite obviously) me being a rock chick in 1995
and then i became wildly successful and had to record an unplugged session, too
if you wear your pyjama top all the time you only have to get dressed half as much
back in 1995 i was living in a violent green monstrosity on york place with rhys, jim and susan
we would hang out with kelly (jim's girlfriend and now wife), linda and andy and sometimes susan's friend angela
it was the year i started liking friends, seinfeld and er. sebadoh, beck and guided by voices
i saw throwing muses play at orientation
i went to some university, but not a lot
we had a dress up party where i dyed my hair black and cut a fringe in so i could be uma thurman from pulp fiction
in the last month i have caught up with jim and kelly, linda (and grant, but he didn't exist for us yet back here) susan and angela
linda and grant had photos from back in this time and we got to sit around and tell stories about that year, which was pretty cool, especially because i got to play photography csi (what can i say? i has a gift)
jim and kelly and i watched the video he made back in 1995, which shows all of us at the flat, my cat spike lee included
tonight after dinner at etrusco with susan and angela, i drove susan and i past the old house on york place - it's still luminous green on it's city facing flank
and do you know what? on my trip to wellington the other week, i read kristen hersh's book about the early throwing muses days and the onset of her bipolar disorder
i'm totally digging this circularity, universe. we all know i love the 90s - well, 1995 was one of my favourite years and these people were (and still are) among my favourite people
and we all look pretty much the same as we always did, just kinda better. well, i think, anyway :)
i'm also thinking an interesting green salad with fresh herbs, toasted pumpkin seeds, crumbled bacon and home made croutons teamed with my mean as secret vinaigrette recipe - it's first outing since retirement 8 years ago
chilling out at princess fiona's and getting ready to go for a walk with myresa - i think the exercise train might be cranking up. might, but can't rightly say just yet
the knowledge that i've made someone's day and they've yet to discover it but it could be anytime from now
i think there's something in this year of the rabbit business, y'all
