God, it's weird how music can put you back in time. I just put on Ritual de lo Habitual and all of a sudden it's 1990 again. Where the fuck did 1990 go?

You know, it feels like a lifetime ago.

back in the day... i used to get so excited about that cd, it was like hearing it for the first time, every time. lotsa music hot me like that back then. not no more, though.

It does to me too. It's SO weird. In some ways it feels like I'm a totally different person from who I was then--yet so often these days I see things the way I saw them back then. In a lot of ways it feels like I've come full circle, like I'm going through some of the same things I went through 10-12 years ago.

Sorry to be so cryptic. :-)

Right, me too. Here recently music has gotten up close to me almost like that--but not quite. I think there's a window you go through -- roughly ages 16-23 -- where it just GETS you, you know?

De nada. I feel the same way, like one of those cicadas crawling out of the ground and shedding my skin on a tree.

I graduated from college in 1990, and started to work full time. This year, I started to work full time again, for the first time in about four years. The feeling of resistance is the same, too. I sure miss sitting on my rear in the student union at SLU, eating pizza and zoning the late 80s away.

Too weird - I just listened to that CD the other day and was like damn, I haven't heard this forever.

Lollapalooza 1 - Jane's Addiction, Siouxsie, Nine Inch Nails, Rollins, Ice T....oh the memories.

HELL yeah. I missed that one--did you see it? I did see the '92 one w/ Ministry, RHCP, Soundgarden, etc., and it was good, but DAMN I wish I'd seen the first one.

Totally - I wish I had my scanner here because I would scan my ticket stub. I'm such a sap and I save the gayest crap. Anyways, yeah, that one was awesome...it would have been my favourite, except for the venue sucked because it was in Exhibition stadium. The second one was totally wicked and was at a big giant park outside. I went to the first four.

Damn! I wanted to see the one with Fishbone and Primus too, but I was stuck in north Mississippi w/ no cash. It's a wonder I made the '92 one. Did you check out the second stage at all in '92? In New Orleans, Sharkbait and Boo-Yaa Tribe played, and they were both awesome! I've got my stub around here somewhere.

I saw Boo Yaa..I'm pretty sure of it. I was on so many drugs that day, I'm surprised I made it out alive. It's not a good idea to store tabs of acid inside your Doc Martens in August. I remember we stayed near the main stage for most of the show because all the bands were so incredible and we didn't want to lose our spot at the front.

I wish they still did Lollapaloozas....well actually no, I don't cause I don't think there's enough bands that could actually get along and make it work like it used to. And there'd be no avoiding some piece of shit Creed-type garbage being on the bill. I feel like such an old fart now!
