Time Machine: “Backwater,” Meat Puppets
To feel the day break on my face
There’s a blood that’s flowing through the feeling
With a knife to open up the sky’s veins
Woke up to “Backwater” by the Meat Puppets this morning. Off of their 1994 album, Too High To Die. Released shortly after their new found mainstream popularity as a result of appearing on [...]
Time Machine: Jeff Buckley
There’s little that can be said about Jeff Buckley that hasn’t already been said and then reiterated. This is not my fumbled attempt at a belated obituary or a Wikipedia entry (we already have one of those), but it is a necessary acknowledgment.
As a music lover, a fan of Grace, and as someone who knows [...]
Time Machine: Death Cab for Cutie
Lushing with the hallway congregation, my best judgment signed its resignation.
I remember distinctly the first time I ever heard Death Cab for Cutie. It was senior year of high school and I was sitting on Map’s bedroom floor working on a project for our sociology class when “We Laugh Indoors” came on. I remember thinking [...]

This is another song that I [...]
Time Machine: Augustana, “Stars and Boulevards”
I fear, sunrise will come too soon and you’ll disappear.
Seems like I’m always on my own… Back in the frozen District for a week now, following almost two delightful ones in balmy, sunny Florida. Don’t mistake me, D.C. is exciting, engaging and good to me. It’s been an incredible and life changing experience. The sort [...]
Time Machine: Tool, “Pushit”
If, when I say I may fade like a sigh if I stay…
I don’t remember the first time I heard “Pushit.” I don’t remember the first time I heard Tool, for that matter. I know that when it came out I hated hearing “Lateralus” on the radio and it took a supreme effort on JLM’s [...]
Time Machine: Falling Farther From Just What We Are
Driving faster in my car…
I have been waiting for the right moment to talk about this song. I have come to the conclusion that there isn’t one. Stone Temple Pilots- “Big Empty”. It has been my favorite song since the moment I heard it- when I was nine. It happens to be on the soundtrack [...]
