welcome to a very special 1986 of my mind

1986: dressed in pajamas parked in front of MTV shoveling trix into my mouth
2005: dressed in pajamas parked in front of VH1 Alternative shoveling trix into my mouth

1986: hope they play that glass tiger video because they are my all time favorite band
2005: hope they play that replacements video because they are my all time favorite band

1986: frightened by that creepy Grace Jones’ video “Slave to the Rhythm”
2005: frightened by that creepy Grace Jones’ video “Slave to the Rhythm”

1986: jump up to dance around to “electric youth” by debbie gibson because i forgot how much i love this song
2005: jump up to dance around to “this monkey’s gone to heaven” by the pixies because i forgot how much i love this song

1986: think, yeah the cure, i just don’t get it
2005: think, yeah the cure, i just don’t get it

    Well…

    If Glass Tiger is 5, then the Pixies are 6
    & if the Pixies are 6 then Mats are 7

    THE MATS ARE 7!

    Sorry, kinda dull around these parts right now.

    i wouldn’t mind the mats being seven, though six is my favorite number.

    6 is cool, but my fav is 8. 8 is great.

    Quick story.

    My friend owns a bar that hosts an open mic night. Glass Tiger came in one evening and, for kicks, did a few tunes. Afterward, they ponied up to the bar where they were surrounded by locals asking questions. Alan Trew, the lead singer, had had a few. He leaned into the guy next to him and slurred, “Did “Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone)” get you laid? ’cause it got me laid – A LOT!!!”

    The End.
