Press Play

Today I went to a gaming store about an hour’s walk away and listened to music. Usually music’s a placebo for or reflection of my mood, but today it was out of my hands; I’m going to let the music speak for itself.


Walking there, two beers deep: Metallica on my iPod, “Whiplash”.

While I’m there: NPR on the store radio, classical.

Walking back in the rain, going east (west? north?): The Navigators on my iPod, “One Line Epitaph”.

Cresting a hill and seeing the U-District emerge from the darkness: Bonnie Tyler on my iPod, right at the key change in the middle of “Total Eclipse of the Heart”.

Drinking coffee when none of the baristas I know are working: The Shins on the store radio, “New Slang”.
