Getting Old is Weird

'Bring on the Dancing Horses' was the first time I ever heard Ian McCulloch's voice, and I can remember exactly how my awkward, shy teenage self felt about it: he sounded like an angel.

I heard this song last night, after squeezing in a gym session, rushing to the grocery before it closed so I could pick something reasonable up for an impromptu barbecue tomorrow with some friends. It came on in the midst of my shop, and it's strange and sad and wonderful to remember that teenage feeling whilst perusing the produce and deciding what kind of trail mix to buy.
