soundtracks

my life has a soundtrack.

this is sometimes clearly obvious when driving, as the music syncs up to the action on the road. it's also clear when running, as the music syncs up to the action on the pavement.

but it's also clear in other ways.

the soundtrack to my weeks/months of reading "The Dragonlance Chronicles" while hanging over the edge of my bed is "The Pet Shop Boys Discography".

Pearl Jam's "Ten" is the soundtrack to my last visit to my grandparents in New York, sitting in their comfy basement looking at the rifles.

Metallica's "Kill 'Em All" is the soundtrack of the plane ride to the above visit.

"Freebird" is the soundtrack to my life in Palomar.

Beethoven's 9th Symphony, 2nd Movement is the soundtrack to the traditional beach walk.

DJ Shadow's "The Private Press" is the soundtrack to the neo-traditional beach walk.

One album by Zero 7 is the soundtrack to the loss of something I never held very dear.

And Shpongle's "Divine Moments of Truth" is the soundtrack to a little thing that happened one night in a parking lot in Pismo Beach. I'll never forget it.
