flying saucer attack, outdoor miner and memories
flying saucer attack's cover of outdoor miner brings back some very fond memories. Specifically it makes me get all weepy eyed and reminisce about my first full fledged, i-feel-so-bad-it-would-really-be-a-relief-if-my-head-just-exploded-or-my-nervous-system-just-totally-shut-down-providing-some-small-relief-from-the-pain adult hang over.
it was spring, my senior year of high school and a couple friends were home from college. Liquor flowed like liquor, despite the fact that I had to work the 7am opening shift at Bruegger's Bagels the following morning.
I awoke to a pain like no other, but somehow managed to get to work 5 minutes early. The doors opened at 7 and the crowd poured in.
After making 1 lox and cream cheese bagel, rumblings erupted in my stomach. I ran to the restroom and vomited. The rest of the shift was tough, but I soldiered on, and came out stronger and wiser. I was a man, and thought I deserved a reward. Immediately afeter work I headed over to the chapel hill record exchange on franklin street and bought FSA's 'outdoor miner' 7".
I then went home, told my parents I had the flu, shut the door to my room and listened to the record over and over and over again before dining at the rathskeller with a friend, where I either had lasagna or a skirt steak.
