17. Spit on a Stranger - Jeremy (mp3)
JEREMY - "Spit on a Stranger"
Me trying to swoon Daniella with my Malkmus imitation.
I asked j whether "swooning" meant he was trying to woo me, spoon me, or make me swoon. or all of the above?
eh... I remember the first time I heard this pavement song & what I felt about it with great clarity. I remember thinking how funny it was that stephen malkmus, of all lyricists, would write lines that I would want someone to sing to me some day & have them mean it. because you can't get more direct, feelings-wise, than the final lyrics to this song. & I'd never had that.
so yeah. naturally when this track, the last one, started, I had myself a little cry.
(can I just say how glad I am we didn't have a public listening reveal for this one, yikes!)
j saw my splotchy, wet face & asked me if I was mad that there was no yo la tengo. silly boy. you are the one that leaves me high.
