I will definitely buy this album.Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs. The screen shots bring back memories of the Power Mac G3 I bought in 1998.Ģ) Paz Lenchantin, the bassist for A Perfect Circle at the time, fixes her hair during a short lull and does not miss a beat (at least it is made to look that way). Back in the late-nineties and early-naughties - those pre-iPod days - the only people using Macs were us cool people, musicians, and graphic designers. I have no clue for sure, but it was probably one of those very late versions of the “Carbon” Mac operating system. Two things stand out to me (because I never saw it until this week):ġ) The brief screen shots of the computer screen. (Speaking of being on the radio a lot, despite the fact it is almost 11 years old, “Judith” was just played on Rock 108 as I wrote this.)īack to the “Judith” video. It was on the radio a lot, and whenever I hear it again I think of 2000-01. For whatever reason, “Change (In the House of Flies)” is one of those songs that has always symbolized my senior year in high school. According to Wikipedia, “Change (In the House of Flies)” was released June 27, 2000, also bringing back memories of that summer and autumn. The other song I heard the same night as “Judith” was “Change (In the House of Flies)” by Deftones. That is the best way I know how to describe it: very 2000. I have no clue how to classify the sound, but it just fits the time. The song and the music video fit within the identity crisis rock was going through during that era. “The Deutsche Mark,” as I dubbed my Jetta, did not have a CD player, so whatever was playing on Rock 108 or KRNA at the time made a huge impression on me.) (I do not remember that for sure, but I assume it did. It provided a nice soundtrack to Friday nights after City High football games as Mervgotti and I cruised Iowa City in my Jetta. Given that context, subsequent listens on YouTube unearthed a lot of memories of that autumn. “Judith” was released as a single on August 8, 2000, a few weeks before I started my senior year of high school. According to Wikipedia, A Perfect Circle was formed in 1999 and the band’s first album, “Mer de Noms,” was released in May 2000. After further research, I realized it was totally Quiet Man high school material - despite the fact I did not immediately remember it as such. I heard the song and thought, “What the hell is that?” I Googled the lyrics and was given the song title. The video in all its widescreen glory is here. I still think that is true, but I was reminded of the bright spots thanks to “Judith” by A Perfect Circle. I wrote that it was okay, and that it had both bright spots and stains. Late one night this week, while listening to Rock 108, I started rethinking my stance on music during my high school career.
