End of year gig programme
I got home about 4pm and sat in front of the TV. Looked at everything we have recorded so far - a few movies, pretty good ones - and also Nirvana Unplugged. I started to think 'should I watch it?' and after a few seconds it was on. I had already changed and had made myself a sandwich and had poured some orange juice. I was still drinking the juice.
As the songs kept playing I started to get carried away... 'About a Girl', 'Dumb', 'Polly', 'Lake of Fire', 'On a Plain'...
I put my clothes on again and a beer in the freezer. The volume was 52.
By time they played 'All Apologies' I had already tossed the rest of the juice in the sink and was totally going for the Foster's. Those were good days, 1993... I looked at Dave Grohl's face and he was so young, everybody was. I was 15 and didn't like Nirvana so much. Yeah, I know...
Looking at Dave - whose name was misspelled on the credits, btw - made me feel like watching their DVD, the acoustic part. Only four songs but the best of the best.
I went downstairs and smoked a cig. Two. For the second day in a row I see this woman getting home (she lives in front of our house) with her kids and some friends of theirs. I'm there, the same spot, smoking and drinking. She sees that I'm there and I see that she sees me. I felt kinda embarrassed.
I went upstairs and decided to turn on the music channels, Kerrang!, put the volume in mute and started listening to Nouvelle Vague. After a while a noticed that this Queen of the Stone Age's video was showing and turn the volume on. Cool song, cool video as well. Right after this, Nickleback's 'How you remind me' started to play. I remembered the time I worked answering emails and thought about Elise.
