Some ideas are just ideas, some are influences. And some inevitably become actions. The past month I've felt at the mercy of the latter category, as I hung on for dear life while ideas I put into motion a long time ago accelarated into actions. Turns out stopping your life (work, seattle) and changing course (grad school, new york) entails a lot of details. But I think I got them all sorted.
While I am excited for the changes...I'm gonna miss the heck out of Seattle. I have made the most amazing friends there, it's humbling.
Here is my ultimate memories playlist for Seattle:
Cash it in - Zero Seven...summer ´06 road trip to la push, one of the most amazing places on earth. If you haven´t been yet, do yourself a favor.
Ghostwriter - RJD2...manzanita!
Kiss my Name - Antony and the Johnsons...saw him perform at the moore, it moved me.
My Girls - Animal Collective...loudest set at sasquatch. Totally worth the ringing.
Everybody Got their Something - Nikka Costa...because everybody does, ya know? Went to her show at Chop Suey, developed a total girl crush.
My Humps - Black Eyed Peas...bear with me, I know this song it cheesy. Somehow it became the theme song to my trip to india with Sony, Corbett and Abby. It started somewhere with a cow´s hump. Plus, this is always on my running play list.
The Ghost of you Lingers - Spoon...bringing a little austin to your seattle. Another one that reminds me of summer ´06, bumbershoot.
The Wizard Turns On - Flaming Lips...sasquatch ´07? During the set I turned to Sony to tell her that he really reminded me of Ellen Degeneres. Oh sasquatch.
Pleasure and Pain - Ben Harper...got in free to this show by waiting outside long after being told there were no tickets. Guy took pity on me and escorted me in. My heart was broken at the time and this song brought everything full circle.
Heavenly Day - Patty Griffin...love this song, makes me think of Jolene and Ryan´s reception.
What it Look like - Spank Rock...lots of good dancing memories to spankrock. He´s so vulgar on stage, but when we introduced ourselves after the show he was all shy.
Apache - Incredible Bongo Band...came upon this after listening to npr clip about the origins of rap.
Lex - Ratatat...makes me think of a lot of things. Inluding their show at Neumos where their afros were absolutely wonderful.
Letter from God to Man - Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip...Coachella ´08. Randomly stopped into their show on way to another, one of my faves.
2002 - Bob Schneider...Another dose of Austin.
New York I love you - LCD Soundsystem...apt lyrics for me right now.
Sounds like a trip! The playlist also sounds very eclectic and intriguing.
