part of me is safe / part of me is lies

Does everyone have certain records or artists that they associate with a certain relationship they were in? I don't think that I'm alone in this. I have at least one album or band that so directly relates to a significant relationship or time in my life that any time I hear one of these songs I always think about that person or time. I wonder how much could be read into which music corresponds to each girl or time period.

Chronological, folks:

seven mary three: rock crown / marvelous three / better than ezra / counting crows / death cab: transatlanticism / wilco: jesus, etc. / the good life: album of the year

That's the past ten+ years of my life, with obvious overlaps at times. Hmmm, the most recent album on that list was released over two years ago...

- Feel free to leave your own 'relationship records' as comments. That would be a good conversation/online experiment.

- update: zero for three on the football road trips over the past three weeks, that's about enough for this season. At least I don't care whether the maple leafs win or lose in Toronto. Oh, and stress fractures aren't painful enough to matter in everyday life, just enough to totally ruin running for 6-8 weeks...I'm going crazy here

i thought about this one. Sunrise over Sea, John Butler Trio. Live at the Wetlands, Robert Randolph and the Family Band (which i hated at the time) non-relationship: Chutes too Narrow, the Shins. However I associate smells more often, I believe.

Matt J: Tonic's second cd... and now that cd is ruined for me... although the past few times i listened to it it was a little better....

Me and eric is probably Imogen Heap, and a few mixed cd's i made...

Ha, thanks. I wonder what Eric would say about that, that's some girly stuff...

It'd be cool to get both sides to see how similar they are. See you guys tonight!

i just saw this. i'm nosey - i heard through the grapevine that you are dating someone. i need to call more often - i know!

i will now go where no girl has gone before. i will disclose the names of the boys with which i make my associations:

Candlebox (It's Alright) - J.Cranford. HA!
Fuel (Sunburn and Hemmorhage) - D.Miles
(i'm drawing a blank for Alex...hmm...)
Bliss 66 (there are many, but this one is at the top of the list) - M.McLain
Brand New - R.Edwards
Jimmy Eat World (Futures) - J.Swarthout
Number One Fan (Compromises) - A.Schleck

That is a freakin' long list. I'd like to think I won't have to add another album and another name.

take care of your foot.

Eddie's x three

I know I want the kind of love that Lori McKenna writes/sings about, just assume I'm not mature/wise/brave enough to recognize it yet. The last few years have been so great from a social, academic and professional development POV but I feel like I really need to focus on my personal/emotional space and growth at this point. On a semi related note...I most likely/definitely failed an econ midterm tonight but I also got to drink some whiskey and watch one of my favorite songwriters perform...I'll count that as an easy win.
