If you look through these circles, you'll see a place that brought a lot of comfort to me as a kid. If you look into them without reading a caption you may see a place a kid in a bad situation might want to get to. I wasn't strong enough for 'peanuts.' Not then.

If Pavement's Brighten the Corners were coming out soon, I had to wait till release day to hear it. I would record a set of songs that I would want the Pavement album to sound like. Some of those songs ended up becoming Atlas Sound and Deerhunter songs ytiophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08283060311939210665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317268.post-91351990746725670292008-12-02T21:41:00.000-08:002008-12-02T22:04:41.556-08:00My new hobby - watching auction sites.
