matt and i biked up to the Diner last week because it seemed that we would die if we didn't get a cookie dough shake and as we were eating and chatting (and watching Matt Skiba walk in and complain to the waitress that he can't believe they don't have a Cesar salad anymore) a decent 80's radio mix started playing. this came on and i can't shake it ever since...
i guess it's because it's mid-summer, but i'm having the most sharp, vivid memories come back to me of hanging poolside at my grandparent's while my mom was at work, cleaning their house (yes, that was one of her jobs for awhile) and just being the most care free, little summer break kid and blasting this song while getting my tan on. pretty positive one of those weird swimsuits that was a hybrid one piece and two piece, connected on the sides, was involved. kinda sick of rehashing nostalgia, but this memory was so intense i didn't know what else to do with it. and for what it's worth, Phil Oakey is cripplingly gorgeous in this video.

My Bloody Feelies
YOT don't know CRAP about positivity! 500 Feelies fans rushing the front of an amphitheatre like lemurs off a cliff and dancing up a community sweat, however, have it down to a science.
2 for 2 at these Grant Park outdoor concerts this summer. Sea & Cake played two weeks previous to this, under the same pretty summer sky, at the same level of perfection. and security doesn't even care if you're nursing a bottle of wine the whole time!
Pride 2009
i turn into a big ball of bawling goo when i'm surrounded by people who make it impossible to be unhappy, so i was crying three blocks away as i was riding up, just from hearing horrible euro trash and cheering voices.
speaking of horrible euro trash, here's a hearty endorsement for Italio Disco night at Danny's. i think j'suz and i burned 1000 calories in just 45 minutes dancing our faces off.
