It was about this time of year when I was was in a car at night in the suburbs. Like many stories I have about music, I was with my friend Joshie and Joshie and I were with his old friend Alex in that very car that same night. Driving down a hill, I thought we were listening to my soul sonified through car speakers. Some telekinetic mind trick? Better not ask questions.
No, always ask questions.
In Pine Effect. Something called “I”DM…stands for “Intelligent” Dance Music. Pretentious.
I would spend the rest of my high school days simultaneously driving video taping, listening to u-ziq, and consuming a lot of caffeine. Up and down the parkway. Around and around 495 construction.
Sometime after high school while crossing the Wilson Bridge I would declare Midwinter Log to be my spirit animal.
10 years later I would move to Chicago to be close to IDM (one of Top Five Reasons). Yay. There never was anything like it near DC and to be completely pessimistic, there probably never will be.
