Remembrance of things past

Links to the past. It is rainy today, so Kim is waiting for Tara to come home, while listening to some songs from the past.

Fishtank (click on the song link), by the band This Perfect Day. Wow! I have not heard this song for over a decade! Great pop tune with synthesizer-driven melody! Important fact: Kim's brother once destroyed a sweater after he went to their concert in the mid 90ies, together with Kim. A rock club can easily turn into a sauna if you're wearing warm clothes. The best concert we ever went to was probably The Soundtrack of Our Lives in 1998. The concert ended around 3 AM and I got about two hours of sleep before I had to get up to catch a train to my work in Växjö, 2 hours away by train.

Shoreline, by Broder Daniel It was 1 AM and the band refused to get on stage until they got more booze. Then they trashed the downstairs apartment at the Blekingska Nation. About half an hour later they entered, almost too drunk to know what way was up... It became an interesting concert. Shoreline, however, was not written until several years later. A nice guitar-based riff in the opening, and some basic depressed BD-lyrics. It's such a great classic punk/rock tune! (Kim went to the same school as the singer, a year shy of the same age.) "I'll be gone" and "Whirlwind" are streamed here. Again, the band is using their trademark openings of guitar-chord progressions to create punk/emo-inspired rock. Lovely!
