...My students were 4 in 1999. One of my students was singing Sisko's "Thong Song," and I asked her how old she was in 99 when that video came out. It is bizarre how quickly time has passed, and that age and musical references are how it really hits home for me. Pretty soon I'll teach students who have no recollection of the 90s or of 9/11. *Weird*!
In music news...
Trav and I went to see Spoon on Saturday, March 20. It was great! They never fail to put on a good show.
I wasn't too keen on Transference when I first heard it. It's more like "Girls Can Tell" and "Kill the Moonlight" than "Gimme Fiction". However, it's starting to grow on me. The way they sonically unwrap melodies is pretty powerful.
Some of my favs:
"The Mystery Zone" from Transference
"Nobody Gets Me But You" from Transference
"Take a Walk" from Girls Can Tell
"Chicago at Night" from Girls Can Tell
