I only have 2 real CD’s in car Pavement’s Terror Twilight and Oingo Boingo’s Only a Lad, I think I’ve listened to Pavement once or twice since I bought it for a dollar and Oingo Boingo five times max. The point is, and I do have one, my car is filled to the brim with random mix cds that have been made by friends, myself, random strangers, stolen from parties, etc. It’s a mess. A fucking mess.
So, I was driving with my drunk roommate to the Cha Cha the other night and we were having a pretty deep discussion on relationships, over- sharing, comfort levels that type of roommate bonding talk. So the most current mix I have in my car is comprised of the top 20 songs that I’ve listened to on iTunes in the past month, it’s a pretty dope mix if I do say so myself a lil’ Tom Petty, Ennio Morricone, ABBA, the Stone Roses, Wire and surprise! the mp3 from this video.
I completely forgot that the song was even on the mix and so while my rooommate was talking about his ex and getting into some detail, the cd went from Wire’s Used To to Mother Lover. I have no idea what he was saying at that point because I was just staring at my CD player like “Seriously Janet?! This is where you are in life? This song is one of the most played?”
Needless to say I changed it but only after about a minute in. When we got to the Cha Cha I made him chug my beer hoping he would black out, putting this little episode behind us.
