MAKE RUBYREDD'S DAY

i used to be an obsessed smashing pumpkins fan. i think i saw them 18 times or something. it's a reason i don't use my real name here. if you all knew it you could find a buncha embarrassing stuff from alt.music.smashing-pumpkins and listessa

...?

I do not know what this is.

xp

You do not? Ah, you are missing out. Behold!

a lot of it's crap but morning jam is well worth finding

Haha, this is hilarious -- I completely forgot I reviewed this thing for the AMG:

there are some good moments, but i'm still warming up to it. i liked the zwan album when it first came up but it sure as hell didn't stand the test of time (also tainted by memory associations with stupid old ex).

i like 'bleeding the orchid' and 'tarantula' and 'doomsday clock' but i still haven't really given it a good listen.

OMG jergins really???? i knew there was a reason i liked you so much!!!

my sp love is more of a nostalgia now, rather than anything more serious. i don't even listen to their older albums all that much anymore.

but there is nothing cooler than being in a car and a pumpkin comes on the radio.

This is me, pretty much -- other things, other obsessions, older and newer. I'd be bored if I just listened to the same things as I did ten, fifteen years back. But most people stop where they are, I've realized.

i was obsessed and then burnt out really fast and hard, just after the mcis box set. i only listened to adore like twice and the other ones maybe once each. but when i was into them, i was IN

i hadn't listened to the old stuff in years. lingbert came over the other night with some golden oldies though. i've had beautiful stuck in my head for a few days :)

oh i love 'lily'! and also 'beautiful'!

my username is kinda from 'thru the eyes of ruby'

it was always wonderful when they played that one live

i can't believe you saw them 18 times. so jealous. i'm really hoping they CA again, so me and jordan can go see them.

*tour

it was a few too many tbh

Rubes, what of Zwan?

i haven't listened to it in a couple of years! honestly, whenever i catch a few bars of one of the zwan songs i cringe, because it brings back memories of the shit relationship i was in at the time, with this total moron. i have serious issues with music-related memory.

"And So I Died of a Broken Heart...CAUSED BY THAT ASSHOLE"

haha no he was too much of a dick to break my heart. it's more like cringeing in shame and embarrassment that i ever dated someone who was such a loser and had an IQ of about 30.

sadly, he was australian, but i haven't let this colour my general opinion of all australians ;)

button my lips.

these are making my day today, and keeping my legs super warm:

i <3 legwarmers

I also <3 legwarmers. I still have one pair around here somewhere... no idea where, however. ;_;

go to sockdreams.com

mine were like US$12 and the shipping is FREE in the US!

Whoa!

Loooooove free shipping.

My favorite place to buy legwarmers: Grand Jete (oh, hells on not having the French accent aigu to place on there on this computer, but whatever) on Grand Avenue in St. Paul. I haven't been in there in years... sooooooo want to go now.

Also all this ballet thinking has me totally wanting to take a class again, although I think not doing it for 15 years would cause it to be a painful sort of thing to do. So tempted.
