I've just rediscovered Spiritualized, which is always a good thing. I listened to "Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating in Space" so many times my freshman year at UMaine. Whenever I'd start feeling sorry for myself that year, they'd deliver a devastating one-liner like "Hey man, there's a hole in my arm where all the money goes/ Jesus Christ died

Tony.
Seriously.

My senior year I was taking that "listening to music" class, or whatever it was. I posted the title track in the class folder (because it is a canon) and the TA loved me so much after that, I didn't have to study anymore,

I love that album.

That album was played to scraps in my CD player in high school.

I was crazy in love with that album when I was fifteen. Clearly I will have to go give it another listen to see if it stands the test of time better than other things I loved when I was fifteen (let's just say Paula Cole would be the least embarrassing one on the list!).

In other news, I am horrified to realize that was over ten years ago. Pardon me while I go put in my false teeth and wind up the Victrola.

Fun fact: Margaret Todd-Brown's dad introduced me to Spiritualized.

Is he younger than me? Make me feel better and say yes.

(Although I guess that would make the two weeks she and I dated in high school of dubious legality, wouldn't it?)

Well, he had gray hair 5 years ago...

You can't be much older than me. I'm 25 next month.
