There's no way to say this without sounding "scene," but my friend Jesse runs a record label. Sometimes, he and his bidness partner James let me help out with mailings and what-have-you. They don't seem to like this aspect of their jobs very much, but there's something pleasantly mind-numbing about stamping and stuffing envelopes. So when there's time, I happily do the busy work. It's fun.
Last week, as a thank-you gift or whatever, Jesse gave me an advance CD of The Race's If You Can. It is now, as I declared to Mr. Coffee as we drove to Jewel the other night, the soundtrack to balmy summer evenings. The album alternates between being gently beautiful and quietly forceful; it's the sort of music that's good for daydreaming or wishing you were in love. The band website has two mp3s that are lovely, but you'll have to buy the record when it comes out in June if you want to hear the best track, "Safe and Sound."
And now, when I see the Race guys around town, I am going to be more shy than ever, because it would be really embarrassing if I yelped, "I REALLY LIKE THAT NEW COLLECTION OF SONGS THAT YOU HAVE PUT TOGETHER. ROCKA ROO!" on Western Avenue or whatever.
