Wow, this week has been a trip down memory lane. After listening to Enema of the state last week i've been enjoying songs from my earlier years. Anything from 6th to 12th grade pretty much. It's been great classics i've all but forgot about like "The Way" by Fastball. I remember it being so crazy and unlike anything else back then. Granted i'm listening to all of these songs with a great sense of nostalgia, it's also novelty. I like a lot of these songs, but i don't listen to them the same way i used to. It's been fun though. One album i do not miss that i listened to heavily in my childhood was "Running With Scissors" by Weird "Al" Yankovic. Do not miss that album, i don't know how i listened to it so much, his voice makes me cringe as hard as dave matthew's vocals. They're unsettling and awful.
