Blur - Look Inside America
At Shippensburg, I'd usually catch breakfasts at the cafeteria just as it opened. On a foggy morning, the whole world would look like the back cover of Blur's self-titled. I'd have it on over earbuds while I grabbed breakfast in an empty cafeteria and had a dozen more cups of coffee.
This, Country Sad Ballad Man, and You're So Great in particular, never fail to take me back to those mornings. Albarn always sounded just as clever as I assumed I was and as burned out as I actually was.
Still, it was a good time.
I mean, I wrote 500 pages of comic script, slept every other day, and didn't graduate from there because of that, but those were good mornings.
Runner Up: Pixies - The Holiday Song. I know the actual song's about whatever, but the whole "this ain't no holiday/but it always turns out this way" always haunts me on family vacations I don't want to be on.
