MUSIC THAT SPOKE TO ME:
today's band
KARATE




In high school, I had a cool college boyfriend who lead me blindly and with fervor into the world of beautiful music.  This was all back in the day of "AOL is the way to the internet" and right before Napster took it's ass kicking, mind altering place in the stage of my life, so getting exposure to solid bands was often a gamble. 

I spent a lot of time just letting amazon.com make recommendations, which is what happens when you work at a crap local steak house for $90 a night and don't have any bills to pay. I can thank them for telling me I'd like Built to Spill because I liked Low and Rainer Maria (newest album: crummy, by the way).

When you're young, you find music that happens to you like no other music after that can.  You go from thinking that the radio is a resource to seeing this entire underworld of mysterious songs and shows and people, and it's all amazing, and it's been there all along.  I went from listening to songs I liked to albums I loved. 




Karate was one of those first bands I drove around listening to, and I found their album in a stack today and listened to it again.  It doesn't grab me because it's emo now, but it does grab me depite the fact that it is.  Geoff Farina stole my heart in high school, and now he can steal yours.

Hold on to your navy blue hoodies.
