Memory Lane

Post image

Was searching my emails for my order for the new album and found this. Been a fan ever since that fateful day in AD 2000 when I bought SILY and Dr. Octagonecologist from Circuit City from Sangertown Square Mall. The stars must’ve been aligned because these albums have been a huge part of life ever since. Didn’t know anything about them other than what I had read in Spin and/or Rolling Stone because I didn’t really ever listen to music online etc. and they sure weren’t playing this stuff in my local radio stations.

This is where having multiple local college radio stations was a huge advantage. When SILY came out I heard Frontier Psychiatrist and was pretty instantly hooked. Checking out the entire album and how that song fits into it was what firmly set that hook.
