i was in the grocery store yesterday, feeling up my vine-ripened tomatoes, when i heard familiar sounds coming from the store speakers. i stood there for a while trying to figure out what i was hearing when it finally came to me... it was a muzac version of Nick Drake's "Northern Sky". i was stunned. it's so hard to recognize these songs when you here them... recreated... in such a way. anyway, it made me happy. does anyone else think going to the grocery is the most sensual experience? the sights, sounds, smells... i *love* it. i think i'll go back today just for kicks.
i used to work at a grocery store here on long island... "king kullen", it was called. nothing puts the "kibosh" on your appreciation of grocery stores like working at one... oh, it's horrible. it killed my brain. i occupied myself by thinking of ways to get past their stealing-prevention plans (absurdly easy), and eventually learned how to charge nasty customers extra and give the nice ones a free can of soup or something. some parts of it were nice, but mostly it was just bad. but hey, at least it gives me a reason to go to college... oh, yes, stev-o kad-o, i'm from the north americas too, and we have tons of boys in too-small t-shirts with school names on them, yes we do. in fact, they all look just like you say. except me, i'm too pudgy for the t-shirts. anyone else have suggestions for Indie-Pop Conventions? i have one more: the use of "boy" and "girl" exclusively as pronouns. brought about cheifly by b+s, of course.. but, of course, they are the uber-POP, so... over and under... - adam aconover@optonline.net Tempus Fugit is at: http://www.i2.i-2000.com/~conover/tempus/main.html +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
