re: What band hits your sweet spot? Time? Place?? No lists..

It's a list but, with detail...

Modest Mouse - Lonesome Crowded West
Darker times in my life, going to and from bars with very little ambitions other than getting drunk and playing pool. Dabbled with drugs during this time, always stuck to drugs from the earth (except for a few times).

Kanye - Graduation
Beginning of my career, with a new degree in hand. I listened to this album every morning driving to work, at the front lines knowing I would move up. "Did you realize that you are a champion..."

Frightened Rabbit - Midnight Organ Fight
Lost my virginity during the time I first listened to this album. Songs like the Twist and Fast Blood I would listen to while driving back from her townhouse.

Avett Brothers - Emotionalism
Listening to Weight of Lies knowing I must face whatever in me needed to be conquered, leaving my station, so that I must move forward in life.

Beirut - The Rip Tide
"This is the house where I...I feel alone now..."
Got married to a woman that I didn't love, and we were at the beginnings of a divorce.

Sia - This is Acting
Broken Glass and Bird Set Free were on repeat for a little while until the divorce was settled.

Kris Kristopherson - The Silver Tounged Devil and I
Lots of time and songs in between this one and the rest, but Loving Her Was Easier is one I looped as I met my now wife, who was with me in the worst of times, and now the best times in my life.


Man, what would I do without music
