Customer Reviews
I finally found it!
In the afternoon, if it comes that day, I often am drawn to my Shaker chair in a room an old rowing partner described as “something very Tuesday”. Drawn or teleported, I should ask, for I never quite remember the getting there, and could not even tell you now why I am still in Crulton, except that some stones roll from the mountaintop and become the anchors there of some new blister of the Earth.
This particular mountain being my mother, who could be both cloaked in the lightest dusting of crystalline snowflakes, electrostatically repelled from each other to make a fragile honeycomb of frozen molecules to be collapsed at the first woodchuck sneeze of spring; and cold and icy and stone dense and impartial to what frivolities percolate about her. She called me “a dunder in want of a calamity” and kissed me hard on the ear.
I will sit in my Shaker chair and watch outside the window where birds alight on an ancient and barren quince, failed summoners to an extinct spirit that may once have lit the heart of their world, this great quince, but who was gone back into the roots and the moist and half-grubs and could not come up the trunk of this petrified skeleton.
I will also stare unfocused at a painting made a few years ago by a boy from a story bigger than this one. The painting is of a woman painting within the museum her own copy of Thenter’s “Lapdogs” but she or he has added cans of Woodson’s snuff to the scene, and I won’t tell my thoughts on the meaning but only say that that particular tobacco may be gone from the world except in this painting and the sense memory it evokes of my time with my tragic grandfather. The smell plays like a full symphony in a music box.
I had wanted for so long to complete these meditations with a bit of music or sound and I am happy to report this podcast is it.
Fun listen! Mix of laughter and nostalgia
I love Rachel and Sam. I can say from experience, it feels like you are there in the room because this is how they really are. The show is funny and sweet. Loved my own personal memories being refreshed with all the pop culture references.
Great Pod
Anyone being introduced to Dashboard Confessional is a good thing. Don't play Bitter Pill, my heart can't take it! I love Sam and Rachel, definitely check this one out!
