HOGSWINE

Recently, I’ve been trying to organize the cds in my music collection. It hasn’t been an easy task because everything is everywhere; there are albums in the bottom of old moving boxes, jewel cases in the trunk of my car and I even managed to find an old 25 cd holder case full of some really good stuff in the garage.

Putting these albums back into their cases and snug into a box got me thinking about the days of yore (eighth grade) and what a weird kid I was. One cd in particular, once I found it, made me laugh.

I’ve been a fan of Radiohead almost since I can remember and I used to try and purchase every single, Japanese import, and b-side they put out (I have long since given up). One that was a favorite of mine back in eighth grade was the My Iron Lung single. On the night of a “graduation party” to celebrate the end of grade-school I insisted on playing this super slow Radiohead song and managed to clear the room of everybody but one girl worth talking to. I still remember talking for hours about super important grade school stuff before we parted ways the next day.
