Go wrong before you go right

Monday, January 23, 2006

A nice little gem appeared in my email this morning compliments of Brad: an mp3 of an old Pond song only available on 7". I remember listening to this song in Joe's bedroom somewhere around 1994/1995 and thinking, "did Chris Brady just say 'do drugs'?" Beyond that, I remember thinking how this song was so cool and exactly what I wanted to write at that time. Heck, I'd still like to write a song like this. I think I'll cover this one next if I can figure out the lyrics. Check out the mp3.

Pond - Moth - mp3

Wait, Joe, didn't you record a version of this song back in the day? Or we played it live?

Nilla and I leave for Rome tomorrow night. I'm pretty excited; I'll be seeing Southern Europe for the first time. I promise to report back early next week with pics and a travel (b)log. If anyone has been to Rome before and has any suggestions please let me know!

Ha ha, yes. What a classic. I did record a four tracker of this song. I think you and I played it a couple of times acoustic? That's all I can remember.

Anyway, thanks for posting the mp3. It's nice to hear such a good song you haven't heard in ten years...just pop up.

Have a wonderful time in Rome!
