I swear, sometimes I feel like I'm on an emotional rollercoaster. In the space of minutes I can go from crying over some miserable loss to laughing at some ridiculous thing I've read to feeling all warm and fuzzy over something wonderful someone's said, then back to being all verklempt over some supportive thing someone else shared. And this is pretty much without listening to music, which does the same kind of number on me, only in spades. Yikes.
All of which helps explain why I chose this song. I love how it disintegrates from happy-happy to hungry to downright angry/disheartened in three short minutes, with ever-increasing static and fuzz as it does. Pure genius.

So am I a freak or does this happen to everyone? Wait, don't answer that.
No, Marcy, mostly I think it's because you're a bit of a freak. Sorry, the
universe is a harsh place ;-)
Hello again,
I really liked your Sleater-Kinney post. And, especially liked the way you
snuck in a word I love...but never knew how to spell! -g-
Hang in there...and as The Who are fond of saying...
..."Don't Let Go Of The Coat"!
Great Blog.
Slater-Kinney...nice choice. Living in the northwest I got to see them play
small clubs and great venues. But the best was when I actually got off on
Slater-Kinney road in Olympia, WA (where they are from) while listening to
them in the car... Karma or kismet, you decide.
matthew--i'm afraid you didn't read to the end of the post. see, you
weren't supposed to answer that! ;-)
yes, it's a street off I5 (the main highway from Seattle to Olympia)... go
figure!
Ah shit, damned bloody last sentence caught me out again! You've no idea
how many times I buggered up exams by just not reading the question
properly!
Yes, I can totally relate. I'm going thru a very hard break up right now
and I am feeling the same things. I can be fine one minute and the next I'm
bawling my eyes out. It really sucks.
