why I’m carrying a two-string bass around the office
so…this morning, while enduring my marathon of a commute to the train station (okay, it’s only a mile, but at 5:15am everything feels magnified!), I was flipping through the radio stations. I got about 5 stations in on my presets when I was struck by a Mack truck of sound, and I spun headlong into a flashback: they were playing “I Think She Likes Me” by Treat Her Right (Morphine’s frontman Mark Sandman’s old band). Man! I haven’t heard that song since probably the Summer of 1995! Now, that was a great use of the radio! I think they need an all-Boston band radio station that plays nothing produced after 1996.
Unfortunately, I don’t have any Treat Her Right, so I’m riding the train listening to a Morphine marathon, which could quite possibly paint my mood a little too much for work: “Sorry, boss. I don’t know why I’m wearing skin-tight jeans, and a shirt unbuttoned to my navel, or why I smell of cigarettes and whiskey, or why I’m hitting on every woman that steps foot into the building, but I’ll get those specs to you right after lunch.”
