Sinking Stomach.

We've all had one of those moments haven't we, that feeling when you hear a song, or see someone, or hear something.....that it just takes you back to an exact moment in your past, and your stomach just drops, where all your senses are suddenly alert and you can feel and smell and picture in your head the exact moment all over again...

I had one of those tonight, browsing on Amazon for some new DVDs, in my recommendations comes 'Kids' by Larry Clark. One of my favourite films of all time, but after lending it to the drummer in my old band, I haven't seen him or the film in years, went in to Fopp to buy a new copy to find out that it had been taken off of print so the film was no longer being made and distributed for retail. Managed to find a second hand copy on amazon tonight. 

For those who haven't seen the film then I recommend you buy a used copy, if your rich then pay the £35 for the few new copies floating about. It follows one day in the life of 4 teenagers in New York one day in the early 1990s, just at the start of the AIDS crisis. I won't say too much more about it other than it really is an amazing film. 

So to the song.....at the very end just as the credits come up, their comes a song by Sebadoh who were one of the original lo-fi bands of the late 80s early 90s scene in America. They were also the first act to be released on Domino Records after Sub-Pop Records licensed them to distribute the record in the UK, bit of music trivia for you. The song is very distinctive, and even 5 years later when the first chords is played, it still takes me back to the very first time I heard it at the end of the film, it was an excellent moment for me, for reasons you don't need to know.

Enjoy and listen.
