Music is connected to my thoughts and speech. Music helps me to time travel. Music takes me out of my head. Music soothes the savage beast. Music helps me get through it all.

Just an ear worm, today.

But it’s loaded.

This dates from my days working for a former retail chain called Spec’s Music and Movies in the 1990s. It was a family-owned chain, based in Miami, Florida, USA. I worked in a regionally successful location on NW 13th Street in Gainesville, Florida. The manager of the store was fond of playing the Happy Monday’s album Pills ‘n’ Thrills and Bellyaches in store when it was au current. We got new promotional cassettes and CDs from the record labels weekly, and some would last on the play stack for a while.

The first song on the album, Kinky Afro has been stuck in ear-worm mode in my brain for the last several days.

Another song from the same album that I liked more at the time was Step On, but Kinky Afro hits better today and that’s my CrucialTrack.

I have some import vinyl that man gave me before he took his own life. So I have been thinking about him a little bit, too.

Boom.
