i love it when i revisit an album or band i haven’t listened to in a while, and halfway through i’m completely knocked on my ass by how incredibly GOOD a song i’d forgotten about is. this happened with this song, today at work. i was rocking out, mindlessly making catalogs; and then this song started to play, and it was like i had disintegrated and rematerialized somewhere else. suddenly i was standing in a tiny living room on wickenden street in the hot summer sun.
and then i started thinking about how i got there—about the boy that introduced me to the chemical brothers, and his first-floor apartment and his crazy oversized computer setup and how he paced around that little room, bursting with excitement. he was irrationally obsessed with this song in particular, and back then i didn’t understand it at all. but now i do.
i think i’m still a little bit in love with all of my exes.
