music association
January 11th, 2005 stevel
music association is a funny thing. i’m working at home today which has the benefit of letting me blast music as loud as i want, and through speakers infinitely better than the cruddy freebie Harmon Kardon/Dell speakers in my office. Boyd Tinsley just came on, and I suddenly got a weird flashback to a couple of years ago when I would be sitting in Espresso Roma (the coffee shop at UCSD) from 6:30am until 5 or 6pm every day working on my thesis.
ahh…those of you who knew me then knew it was a dark time. quite depressing actually. i thought many a time that i should simply give up, take my BS i’d already earned, find a real job and quit this whole “academics” thing. anyway, i listened to Boyd Tinsley quite a lot during my thesis time as it gave me that good ‘ol DMB just chillin’ groove. it was comforting in a time of, quite frankly, some pretty strong despair. hearing it again now just suddenly flooded me with those same emotions, two years later.
anyway. interesting experience. just wanted to share (and take a break from work) 
(and the album is called “True Reflections”. never got great reviews, but i happened to like it)
