One of my favorite pastimes in high school was spending hours at the library. Yep. Hanging out among the books was my idea of a good time. Still is. It was there in the av section that I discovered an album called "The Ghost of Fashion" by a group I'd never heard of, Clem Snide. It was love at first listen. Their Elvis reference in the second track stole my heart and kept it. (For those of you who don't know, I love all things Elvis. I even have a bust of Elvis that looks like it was crafted by an overachieving art student in the 90's. Don't worry, I'm sure he'll make an appearance on here soon enough.)
During my 4 years of high school this was my favorite band and my go to music to fit every angsty teenage mood. Listening to it now brings back a flood of memories that make me feel like I'm 17 again. Thankfully, I now have a better handle on my emotions and, almost as importantly, my eyebrow tweezing.
Now that I've shared, it's your turn to tell me the songs that transport you back to high school. The more embarrassing the better!
Oh geez, just thinkin up songs takes me back..... the Disintegration album (The Cure), Cemetery Gates and Floods(Pantera) Tangerine (Led Zeppelin) Primus in general.... that's just a few, you know that high school had a soundtrack for every minute of life.
