Song of the Week: Summer Jam For the Broken-hearted, Pining and/or Unrequited
Spring into Summer of 1991, I was 17, and I drove around town in varying patterns with only "passing my should-be girlfriends house" in common. And all summer "This Is How the Story Ends" by the Sundays seemed to be on continuous play in my tape deck.* Today there are new unfortunate 17 yr-olds in that same situation, plus all the folks that really dig Bright Eyes. This is their '07 Summer Jam. But don't worry, it's a great song for you normal folk out there, too. As long as steroids aren't part of your daily regime. & enjoy the trippy video: And more bonus: here's une autre vid of Cloud Cult throwing it down at Knitting Factory if you're like us and dig live recordings (from YouTube mais of course). * "Tape deck" is a layman's term for "tape cassette player" -- a 20th century audio recording playback device that enjoyed popular use between the fall of 8 tracks and rise of CDs. You are most likely to have seen one in recent years, but mistaken it to be a low-tech interface between your iPod and your friend's car stereo. Posted by Rock Heals at May 16, 2007 05:30 AM
