hurley

the title of this post is the one song that i really wanted pinback to play this evening and not just because it is the name of my favorite lost character. hurley was the one song on the cd that alexis gave me that i really liked and actually knew well enough to identify if played. they didn't, unfortunately, even though i yelped "hurrlllleyyyy!" between songs, while everyone else screamed "peneloooppppeeeee!" i didn't win that battle. anyways, they played a surprisingly long set - almost an hour and a half, i think. while pinback is not really my style, i actually enjoyed a lot of their songs. the problem is, there wasn't some sort of marquee above the stage displaying the name of the song that was being played at the moment--this was a ridiculous idea i came up with after turning to alexis for umpteenth time to ask "what is this one called?" so, i'll have to rummage through someone's pinback collection (paul?) to get the songs i really like, which apparently aren't on the first cd.

the question on deck tuesday night: music you love but you're embarrassed to admit you love.

i won't incriminate anyone but julio iglesias (especially his song, "hero"), kelly clarkson (in general), and michael bolton ("how can we be lovers") made the cut.

for me, admitting that the first cd i every purchased was garth brooks' the chase always gets a few heckles. there you have it!
