deep in the ocean, there lies a wave for you

Oh, NPR had a tidbit on BIG STAR the other day. I’ve owned a bunch of albums since college, but I hadn’t really gotten into it to this extent until now. And I think that’s because I associate it with nothing besides the present. I can’t hear “Gimme Some Lovin” by the Spencer Davis Trio or a Superchunk or Coldplay or Archers of Loaf or Pinback song these days, and I send myself on a not-so-pleasant journey toward emotional breakdown every time I try to listen to Sunny Day Real Estate’s “The Ocean,” but Big Star? Brings up zero memories. “Back of a Car” came on the jukebox the other day when I was at the Tune Inn and I almost pooped my pants.
