Records do have a nice sound to them. Kind of - warmer than other media storage, I think. Well now I know I'm going to have to take you to an outdoor concert some time this summer.
I wonder how much of it is nostalgia? I try to buy the records I remember my mom having when I come across them. No, I was thinking one of the jazz in the park events. We'll be the youngest people there, it'll be great.
Music, mostly. Childhood snacks, too. She loved a lot of music from the 60s and 70s. My white whale is this rare Fleetwood Mac compilation. Jazz, and we'll sneak in some burgers. If you think I'm not going to be game to go get a fish dinner at 4:30 PM with Ethel and Fred, you're about to be really surprised.
I do love ants on a log, but the ones I immediately think about for nostalgia are dunkaroos and those like...disgusting containers of bubble gum powder? Fleetwood Mac is incredible. I was obsessed with this live recording of Silver Springs for almost a solid year as a teenager. Isn't that the dream? This is starting to sound like a double date, though.
The bubblegum powder I don't remember, but I did have Dunkaroos. Nothing like giving kids pure sugar. I also remember those sugar sticks that you dipped in more sugar to suck on? Someone sure hated parents for inventing those.
I'm gonna see if I can track it down now.
It is sounding a little like that, isn't it? You all right with that?
Well, I have good and bad news. Apparently they still make it, so I'm buying a jug for you to try. You can decide which part of that's the bad news. Oh, I remember those! Dippin' Sticks, I think? Or...stix, maybe, because it was the 90s. Those were so gross but it did not decrease the appeal at all for young Karen.
And I can send you a link to the Silver Springs one I liked if you want to listen. It's on youtube. I loved it because when Stevie Nicks is singing, once the song ramps up, she's just staring down Lindsey Buckingham. There's so much ratcheting, inescapable tension in it.
My stomach is already hurting at the thought of it. Does anyone actually really like the flavor of Bubble Gum? Are we sure it's not a global conspiracy?
Yeah, I definitely maxed out on a sugar rush with those a time or two as a kid. Only time that could compare was the Halloween candy stash.
I'd like that, yeah. I always need good pump me up music when I'm planning my closing arguments.
I liked it when I was a kid. Every so often, like...less than once a year, I'll find myself craving it. But then I'll buy a pack, have a single piece, and then I'm good. So yeah, it could definitely be a global conspiracy.
How much of a menace was hyper on Hallowen little kid Matt?
Oh, I don't know if it's good pump up music for closing arguments. What do you usually listen to? It's still worth a listen though, so...
A lot of those childhood candies lost their appeal to me because of how they're made. However, there are some stores that sell organic clean versions of those treats and I'm usually sold.
Believe it or not, I think sugar rush kid Matt was even harder to shut up.
I like jazz and classical. Foggy sometimes has those musicals playing.
You know what you might like as an alternative? Do you remember raisinets? You can get yogurt covered raisins some places and it's a pretty simple ingredient list.
Oh no, I absolutely believe it. I just can't figure out what you would have talked about, but picturing tiny Matt doing a speech on justice is really cute.
Here I was so sure you'd both be switching it up for some classic rock.
Isn't it great? You can really hear all the emotion and tension in it.
And I can't believe you're calling me out on my I Love Lucy joke. Does this make you Ricky?

And on the plus side, if you have a shit voice, I've got the earplugs.
no subject
Although I don't think my voice is that awful. My shower's never complained.
no subject
Well, nobody knows voices and acoustics like a shower.
Does that mean you've already been convinced?

Would you go with a classic or something more recent?

I can imagine it sounds more dimensional than something that's been synthesized and auto-tuned, with sensitive hearing.

There's something about street music, though. I love a good street musician.

It's been a long time since I've gone to a concert, so you're on. Just don't make it one that's too crazy. My ears can't take endless screaming.
no subject
No, I was thinking one of the jazz in the park events.
We'll be the youngest people there, it'll be great.
no subject
Jazz, you do know the way to my heart. We'll make friends with the old people, maybe make plans for an early bird special meetup. I'm game.

Good to know, and good taste. Fleetwood Mac has some incredible stuff.
It sounds like we're now going to the concert not just to hear jazz but also to find our new best couples friends who won't make us stay out too late.
