I'm talking less than a second in. thats what i want to get back to. i have enough music to listen to for a month straight, 24 hours a day, but i don't KNOW more than half of these bands. i barely know the names of the albums, and i never know song names. theres no intimacy to any of it. i remember being 16 or 17 and getting into bands and feeling like i knew them, like i could hang out with them. i still have that with my standbys, but not with any of the new bands really.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05272274074457107778noreply@blogger.com
