Woke up today for some unknown reason I had this phrase that just went through over and over and over in my head "you're absolutely fabulous"
of course I knew it was from a song from a LONNNNGGGGG time ago, and I remember there was once I woke up with the same lines too..
Anyway tried to google it and of course came back with a million hits... Then suddenly I ACTUALLY remembered who sang it! NORTHSTAR.
have TOTALLY forgotten about this band. I loved this band and playing their songs TOTALLY reminds of of the August '03. I remember playing this band NON-STOP tthat entire summer. Man listening to Taker Not a Giver, I think I can smell the ocean and feel the breeze of Torrance that summer when mom visited and we were staying with Aunt Mei for a few days....
I saw them live only once before they broke up, it was a REALLY REALLY small show at the Roxy on Sunset and they didn't even go on till 12:30am... My last bus back to Northridge was at 12:20, at Reseda/Ventura no-less! But I stayed on for the show and it was cool!! Coz there were basically like a dozen of us left in the pit at that time. A great show nevertheless!
Taking Back Sunday calls this "The Best Band Ever"- and even has that endorsement sticker on Northstar's Is This Thing Loaded? CDs!
Check it!!!
Man... can't decide which song is the best! So since I woke up with Cinderella on my mind, Cinderella it would be then! I liked the demo version of the song better though, but the hard drive won't power up, so I don't have it!!
And yes, today, I think I really miss America... =)
I don't know what American music became in the end, but I sure as hell know they were REALLY good at one time! And I'm really glad I got to be there at that moment.
