Bandwagonesque Daniel Day-Lewis is the best actor (semi-) working today.
posted by Hilts: 12/22/2002 02:29:00 AM 10 years ago i remember about 10 years ago someone left an unmarked cassette in my car. i used to listen to that unmarked cassette everyday... both sides. Over and over and over. I must have listened to that tape a thousand times that year. It wasn't until months later that i actually found out who it was i was listening to.
side A was: The Drop Nineteens - Delaware (Kick the Tragedy: still one of my faves of all time)
side B was: Eugenius - Oomalama the mysterious unmarked cassette that changed my life. i have no idea who's it was, or where it came from. If i believed in god i might consider it a gift from above. But since i don't believe in god, it probably just fell out of someone's pocket.

The rise and fall...I still remember listening to Vapour Trail endlessly on repeat in a mist of night, pills, and alcohol. Good name-drop of the Smiths' Well I Wonder in there too. (horribly under-rated track!)
