about

i love music. so should you.

this is my (mostly) music blog. i wanted a space where i could wax poetically about all the bands and artists i love. (my heart and my cd collection is v. v. big.) you'll also find a smattering of writing related things, since that's what i'm doing these days, along with other pop culture miscellanea.

things you need to know: i live in chicago, but i used to live in new york city. i go to a lot of shows. i stopped being ashamed of my musical tastes a long time ago. the first time i heard "eleanor rigby" by the beatles, i was nine years old and i still get goosebumps when i hear those opening strings. i sing - trained in opera, musical theater, and everything in between.

i'm not very country, i'm mostly rock and roll.

pearl jam - “betterman”

i’ve been on a nostalgia kick lately - my birthday always seems to inspire that - and recently i found a sheet of notebook paper tucked inside a book that came with me from reno to new york to chicago.  it had a playlist on it called “spring/summer 1995” and this was the first track on it.

the album this comes from, vitalogy, along with nirvana’s mtv unplugged (which i seem to have lost), alanis morisette’s jagged little pill, nine inch nail’s the downward spiral, smashing pumpkins’ mellon collie and the infinite sadness and the beatles’ white album were my rotating soundtrack that year.  any time i hear those songs - all of which i still listen to on a regular basis - i’m immediately sent back to my sophomore year of high school.  that was a good year, maybe one of the best.

i’m still determined to cover this song one day, because i love it and because it means a lot to me.
