I once impressed a friend’s date by name-dropping Pinback in the middle of a beer-fueled conversation about music. At that time I have just discovered Information Retrieved via Spotify and was listening to it constantly (I now have the album on vinyl). Arriving at our table after a quick bathroom break I overheard her telling him, “I like your friend, he’s cool.” I must've grown two inches taller and grinned from ear to ear, as I'm the kind of guy who normally doesn't get described as such by girls. Needless to say, it was a good night. We ordered another round. And another. And another...
I never saw the girl again. She and my friend got into a relationship, but it was a short-lived one. Last I heard she's moved to LA chasing her literary dreams.
Interesting how certain persons and memories are attached to certain albums. Which is what this blog will be all about. ##
