Some of the greatest times I’ve never had (and the music that would have accompanied them)

  1. Driving barefoot from Albuquerque to Santa Fe on a summer’s day, thunderheads in the distance (music: Richmond Fontaine, Thirteen Cities)


  2. Lying in the cab of a pickup truck with hs sweetheart as the sun sets on makeout point (music: Built to Spill, There’s Nothing Wrong With Love)


  3. Driving cross country through a midnight snowstorm (music: Jesus and Mary Chain, Darklands)


  4. First stint in a sensory deprivation chamber (music: Jac Berrocal, Fatal Encounters)


  5. Skipping class senior year of high school to get drunk on whiskey and ride bikes down to the river (music: King Khan and BBQ Show, s/t)


  6. Sitting at home while my girlfriend is out having lunch with her movie star ex-bf (music: Gary Wilson, So You Think You Really Know Me?)


  7. Getting to test-drive the first ever hoverboard prototype (music: XTC, Skylarking)


  8. Getting sucker-punched in the eye in front of all of my friends (music: Harvey Milk, Courtesy and Goodwill Towards Men)


  9. Driving home after dropping my hs sweetheart off at college, knowing full well that it’ll never be the same again (music: The Wrens, Meadowlands)


  10. Being the first and only human being on Mars, missing all my friends back home (music: Lucky Dragons, Dream Island Laughing Language)


  11. Seconds before I plunge to my imminent demise beneath the surging waters of the Bermuda triangle (music: Scott Walker, The Drift)


  12. Meeting a girl at a friend’s birthday party and getting her number. Walking home afterward down deserted streets still damp from a recent rain (music: Young Marble Giants, Colossal Youth)
