Day 3: Manos
To this day, I love this album…some 20 years later. It is THE album that defines a very specific time and place in my life. Living in Olympia Washington right when the Riot Grrrrl phenom was exploding (while Seattle was being taken over by flannel). Hanging out with the cool kids of K and YoYo Record folks in trashy bars in and around Seattle and Oly. I drank too much, I cared too much what people thought of me, I fell in love for the first time in my life and fucked it up, I dropped out of college for the second time. And in the end, I fled back to Vermont and never left.
