There seems to be something in the air; everyone I know is making changes in their lives. I think of it as preparation for nostalgia – in a year, I’ll be buried under a mountain of school-work and think back on this time as a golden age.
I look back on 2003 with much nostalgia – it was a golden age for doing nothing. I’m going to have to skip past examples, though (I like to give off the appearance of a man that's busy), and get right to the point:
The Dismemberment Plan - The City
2003 is the year the Dismemberment Plan broke up, within about a year of my discovering them. Theirs was a glorious career, and I still think that few in music, and especially indie rock, can match Travis Morrison’s lyrical prowess. Luckily, I got to see them on their farewell tour – but it was bittersweet because seeing them play only cemented my love of the band.
I still have a rusty, lousy button that I got from the show. If you see me wearing it, it’s a special occasion. Probably.

Good thing they're joining the reunion trend this year then, eh? 2 shows already - you can watch them (along with Rage and the Smashing Pumpkins) beat that proverbial dead horse that is the ULTIMATE nostalgia trip...
*sigh*
I like reunions (for the right reasons - which it seems Travis has done)... but this year has so many it's starting to weird me out a tad...
