Nothing, no one, nowhere
When I was 16 years old, I thought the Judybats were the greatest band on earth. My only question now as I look back at them on YouTube is what the hell was I thinking? I saw this band five or six times in college, even interviewed them once. Who knows how many thousands of times I listened to their records. My later participation in the 1990’s indie pop scene was undoubtedly influenced by my early love of the Judybats, but their music does not hold up in 2008.
Can you believe this video sold me on them enough for me to go out and buy their CD for $18 in 1991 money? What’s that, like $35 today? Actually, the Judybat’s Native Son was the first CD I ever bought. All my previous records were enjoyed on analog audio tape.
I’m trying to figure out the horse in the video. It’s some kind of metaphor for sexuality or drugs or something. Huhm.
