Banjo. It’s not for the Appalachia anymore.

I’ve decided after listening to the Shins’ song Australia (from their new album Wincing the Night Away) and thinking back to Travis’ use of the instrument (on Sing from The Invisible Band) that we need more Banjo.

Appetite for Destruction

categories Music, Nostalga | comments 0 Comments

Summer 1988: Camp Tawingo, I was eleven years old. The summer soundtrack? Gn’R's Appetite for Destruction. I remember that waking up to the guitar riff of Welcome to the Jungle on a daily basis. It was a little shocking (especially the liner notes and Robert Williams’ robot rape). At the time, I think I made myself not like it but, secretly, it was etching itself into my musical fabric.

And now, I enjoy watering plants to the album.
