this weekend, my visiting mother brought a large trunk that was full of all kinds of crap i thought long gone. we're talking, like, high school sophomore year papers, old notebooks, etc. as someone that generally disdains nostalgia, it was an extremely disconcerting experience.

with my newfound interest in these guys i was surprised to find that they've never been played here before.

For my last day, I decided to pick a song of pretty great importance to me. I first heard this song on 120 Minutes when I was up way too late in elementary school. I was instantly in love. It was listed as being on the soundtrack for The Crow, and I went out and got it immediately. Eventually I found out it was also on their album Betty, which I got as soon as I could.
That album changed my perception of what rock could be. It was heavy, dense, and unrelenting. I was only 12 or 13, but I'd never heard anything like it before. After that album, my tastes started forming to what they are today. I owe a lot of who I am to a song I just happened upon on TV. Helmet is a band who had a huge influence on the rock scene. I doubt it would be a big deal to them, but they had one on me too. And it all started with this song.
And thus ends my week at the controls. I hope you enjoyed it.
sometimes i miss the 90s. sometimes. a little. okay, not really.

starting tomorrow:
Ben Folds Five reunited, they have a new record, and are touring. While his solo albums had a few moments I think the proper BFF albums are terrific. Even the new one isn't half bad.
