The Free Association, "Shanghai"
Every day when my roommate gets to work her co-worker asks her to tell a secret. They share childhood stories, work gossip, thoughts on time and place (2005, Seattle).
I'm waiting for the day I show up at their work and get asked. I'll probably have to admit it: "Come closer. This is a good one. Are you ready? Okay. The more a band rips off My Bloody Valentine, the more I like them. I know, I know, 99% of the time this kind of derivitiveness should not be applauded but, I don't know, I miss My Bloody Valentine so much, I miss that sound. And if a bunch of L.A. studio guys, soundtrack makers, is the closest approximation that we have in this time and this place, then I'll take it. The secret's out."
