The Jesus & Mary Chain's "Sometimes Always"

Just got in from going to Spaceland to see Eskimohunter and The Pity Party. Gorgeous!

Afterwards, Rosie and I went over to Cha-Cha because good friend Matt was doing his karaoke night. I had the pleasure of seeing this guy...


...sing disco hit "I Will Survive" while dancing, spinning, and grabbing his crotch. *See Matt on the right hand side looking bummed.

Now, this Jesus & Mary Chain song has been circulating in my life a lot lately. First, a couple weeks ago when Miles and I were talking about good-fashion cowboy hats vs. bad-fashion cowboy hats. I brought up a cowboy hat in a Midnight Oil video, giving that the thumbs up; as well as a Depeche Mode cowboy hat appearance. He reminded me of the cowboy hat in this one. I even listened to it before I went out tonight... and tonight when I got home (sober, thank you very much - after the lights went out the other night I'm afraid I'm taking a breather from drinking for awhile) this mp3 was waiting for me in my email box from someone I always wished/feared would send it to me. I always played it around him with "us" in mind. And I did notice during a couple of his DJ stints that it would be played when I was around... but I never asked or assumed that he had the same sentiment with it in mind. It's not the first obscure email I've gotten today, but it's probably the heaviest. The email subject line came with no subject, and there wasn't a single letter or even punctuation marks, where at least a signature would read, in the body of the email. Just a single attachment of this song. Ouch/Yay!

I have no knowledge on how to proceed with this 4.7 MB present in the email, or what its supposed to say, or simply if my incessant playback of this song now reminds him of me. (ie. it came on, he thought of those days of me in his tiny apartment singing along to this, and he thought he'd send it over) Even though he knows full well that I have the track in my scattered collection of fringe mp3s... especially since my last.fm page will attest to me listening to it earlier tonight.

Yes, said sender is aware of this blog and no doubt checks it semi-frequently - so there are no secrets here. Honestly, I'm going to take it for what it is. Sender, thanks for thinking of me and sending me the mp3. You always told me that actions speak louder than words, but you have to remember that I believe actions to fall flat if they're undecipherable and too obscure. I care deeply for you (always have/will - rest assured) and smile when I think of your gorgeous face.
