Comment:

this is the first volume of a soundtrack to a new story i'm working on called "cirCUiTry." it's largely autobiographical and concerned with the silly adventures of myself and other 20-something gay boys I know. and the unmistakable joy of pop music.
the characters all have wildly different personalities, so a few of the song choices reflect that. but, for the most part, they relate to my main character, garman, and his angst and numerous insecurities.
the whole thing's set mostly in atlanta, so the songs tend to deal with life in a city, slaving for the business class, going out to discos on the weekend, neuroses. oh, yeah, and falling in love with the boy of your dreams. unbeknownst to the boy of your dreams, of course.
i got the idea from the pulp song, so it's a bit like the central theme of the whole thing.
