Anything and Everything Was Getting Signed in the Early Nineties

The sticker is on my mirror.

The mirror in my room. At my parents' house.

Fittingly. A glittering. Purple. Metal. Flake. Sticker.

It came packaged with the compact disc. When I originally bought it. New.

Fifteen years ago.

It was never an album that stuck out. Never an album I would listen to.

I was fifteen. Sixteen years old. A random purchase. Because of the Sub Pop connection.

It was a disappointing purchase.

I kept the album. In my collection. For a few years. I had trouble selling it. It followed me to Syracuse. Where. Ultimately. I sold it.

It had never grown on me.

Recently. I came across a copy. I have been repurchasing a lot of albums from my past. Albums that were sold. Albums I could never get into.

Still. Nothing stands out. Although it is better than I remember. It will never be essential listening. And it isn't essential to own. I'm glad I do though. Filling in the blanks. Gaps. From my childhood.

In fifteen years. I'll try again.
