Waking Ear

We have a pact, you and I. I write down what song I had in my head when I woke up in the morning. And, maybe, why. You click on "What's in your waking ear?" and tell me what's in your head right now. We discover new music and maybe learn something about how our minds work. Yeah?

Helium/"XXX" -- My mischievous little iTunes, set on random, picked this one for me this morning. Every time I hear it, I think of the video, with Mary Timony doing that droopy, shit-faced guitar solo by pulling on the loosened strings of her guitar. I would've done anything for her.

I discovered Helium and a bunch of other bands through MTV's 120 Minutes, which I would record and then transfer my favorite songs onto audiocassette. There wasn't any good radio in North Alabama. MTV was the only thing that gave me something different. I didn't really know anybody else that had good taste, besides this one kid who went to our school for like six months and managed to introduce me to the Pixies. Now that MTV's a watered-down mess, I'm glad the kids today have the Web. Otherwise, I'm not sure how they would survive high school.
