bridge over karmic waters

direct order from D.S..
"what song from your childhood or some other distant time has re-entered
your life as a recent favorite, making your life seem to follow some
sort of karmic plan"

or something...

I can think of a few...Stepping Out by Joe Jackson, which I play at the
very end of many of my parties now.

"new girl now"-honeymoon suite
"you can do magic"-america
"reminiscing"-little river band

...as most anyone who has seen/heard me Dj can attest

"That's All" by Genesis. I remember this being the first song I ever heard on the first walkman I ever owned, being played on the radio. And I heard it recently again, and found myself strangely moved. As much as I hate Collins, I really think this is a nice, melancholic song.

"Stepping Out" indeed. Those descending high-pitched bells toward the end are pure bliss. They totally transport me back to riding shotgun in my parents car with the AM radio on the pop station. I actually bought a vinyl copy of Night & Day for a buck last year. Decent record.

"Reminiscing" & "You Can Do Magic" are good choices. The Honeymoon Suite cut is cool, but I was a lot more conscious when that came out.

Also "Ah!Leah!" by Donnie Iris.

The first time I ever heard "Emerge", with that fading-in synth bottom, I was in a club and at first I thought the DJ had put on "Steppin' Out".

suburban boy by dave warners from the suburbs had reentered my life and told me i am now comfortable being an uncultured larrikin with no chance of scoring a chick.

"Wordy Rappinghood" by Tom Tom Club.

Whenever I hear it - and I've been listening to it a lot recently - I am transported back to my nine year old self at a fairground in the Scottish Borders, just about to leave and walk home.

The events surrounding this memory are completely mundane. I wish I could figure out why that song has such a powerful hold on me. Hope I wasn't bumraped by a gypsy.

"Bumraped by a Gypsy" is the title of my forthcoming one man monologue show, incidentally.

I've been downloading a lot of records that were in the charts when I was 7 or 8, trying to work out which ones I remember and which I don't. I do mean to write about it but it's such a fragile, gauzy experience that it's quite difficult.

(aka who needs Boards Of Canada when you've got Bad Manners?)

ah, bad manners... they wanted to work with lee perry, but supposedly he wouldn't do it unless they change their name to 'good' manners!

I thought of another one: "I Love You" by the Climax Blues Band

― Broheems (diamond), Thursday, 11 March 2004 19:26 (twenty-two years ago)
