Comment:

A last ditch effort that (of course) didn't succeed-I guess Side 2 pretty much took care of whatever faint hope even existed at that point. This mix is about a year old now, and entirely irrelevant - the girl and the tape are long gone- and mostly reveals how much of my attention Modest Mouse had commandeered by that point. It was no accident that I couldn't go more than three songs without throwing them on again, yet all were apropos and entirely necessary (esp. the live version of Trucker's Atlas, which at first appears incongruous, but reveals it's true intentions when Issac starts his patented drunken ad lib testifyin' towards the end, madman stuff about redemption).
And I'll never know whether she knew that the second song on side one was a point by point illustration of the entirety of our relationship, in all its futile desperation and hopelessness.
But she taught me what people are made of, so I thank her for that.

Shannon...
The Swirlies are now all but forgotten Boston noise outfit, sounded a bit like Isn't Anything era MBV, bit like nothing you've ever heard before...Tall Ships is one of their first songs, and infinitely sad...You can probably still find their stuff in better records stores

When this kind of fire starts, it is very hard to put out. The tender boughs of innocence burn first, and the wind rises, and then all goodness is in jeopardy.
