i recently got a message from a high school friend who i hadn't seen or spoken to in years. he asked me about a band and did i still have the tape somewhere.
i was in a little bit of retro mind twist i had.. i started thinking about them. i was 16.. and it was my first concert. it was in this club that was the size of a shoebox, and was located in the plaza where the stop and shop and k-mart were located. it was not a hip place. but, i was 16, the club was all ages, and they were a crappy little ska/punk band that i loved. their name was "wank". terrible name. i did go looking for the tape (no cd's yet), and i didn't find it.. however.. i did find them on itunes. it's terrible and awesome all at the same time. i gave them another listen after 10+ years of having forgotten about them... they're still terrible, but i still really love it.
on another musical note... i think i have a new love for the band travis. i never really gave them alot of attention until i saw this video of an interpretation by one of my favorite comedians, demitri martin. the video was AWESOME.. so is the song :)
