description:
Despite being raised on the ultra-solid musical tastes of my parents, I dabbled in some fairly questionable musical material in my highschool years. While it is a bit embarrassing, I do find it necessary to remember one's roots, for better or worse.
In other words, keep it real, y'allz.

| 1 | tool : Prison Sex |

I'll just get it out there -- I was a big time Tool fan. Maynard was my pope -- totally infallible. I used to play this song with my 'band'. The drummer's family inherited this orchard with an old farmhouse in the middle. It was abandoned. It was a mile or two from anyone else. We had free reign there. Real 'Lord of the Flies' type shit. We saved up all year and bought as many amps and speaker cabinets as we could. I had at least 500 watts and 12 12" behind my Les Paul. I think I'm partially deaf in my left ear thanks to that summer.

This song, combined with Dr. Dre's 'The Chronic' is why I love Moog synths.

| 4 | Far : Joining the Circus |
|
Not really that great of a song, but it reminds me of an old friend that I've since lost complete and utter contact with. The worst part? I have no desire to contact him. Tidbit: the singer of this band, Jonah Matranga, turned out to be one of the biggest douchebags to ever grace a mic. Srsly. SHOW MORE

Embarrassing, but it reminds me of the girl I chased throughout my highschool years. Years later, we grew up and started dating. Every once and awhile, I sneak this song on a mixtape for her, just to remind her of how long I've been batshit crazy about her. SHOW MORE

This shit blew my mind in 2000. I obtained a super rare bootleg from a friend. There was about 5 minutes of space left on the 2X CD-R (L337), so he put this song on at the end. Fuck me.

| 12 | A Perfect Circle : The Hollow |
|
Years ago, being the big Tool fan, I obtained a copy of a bootleg from one of the very first live APC shows. This was before they had a website or an album or any sort of following. I shared complete admiration of this CD with the members of the band I was currently in. We poured over every note and every word. I know it sounds silly, but for about a year or so, until they released their first album, A Perfect Circle was *our* band. Tidbit: the singer of this band, Maynard James Keenan, turned out to be a big douchebag. Tidbit II: This was the bootleg that contained the Botch track. SHOW MORE

I used to catch a ride at 6:30am with my friend and his older sister. She drove a beat up Tercel. She listened to this cassette tape every single day. She also smoked like 5 cigarettes on the way to school, with the windows up and the heat on.

My friend's older sister also gave a ride to her hardcore friend, Tanner. He had a mohawk and had a spike leather jacket. In the small town that I lived in, he was about as hardcore as they came. He gave me a tape with this ISIS song on it. What a badass. SHOW MORE

| 16 | Metallica : Fade to Black |

I listened the shit out of this album in high school. I had a friend that was a hardcore Metallica fan. He was richer than god and on his parent's property, he shared HIS OWN HOUSE with his sister. We had no supervision whatsoever. This kid had money and a penchant for awesome things -- guns, fireworks, beer, four wheelers, cigarettes and video games. Real 'Lord of the Flies' type shit. This song reminds me of being so totally fucked up as a 15 year old -- Drinking whiskey from the bottle and smoking a cigarette, I was lighting bottle rockets and launching them into the pool and 3am. Amazing. SHOW MORE

Not that bad. I like the idea of a high school mix. I might have to get busy on that.

Oh, man, as far as guilty pleasures go, you ain't got nothing to to be embarrassed about: Metallica, Led Zeppelin, and A Perfect Circle die hard. And the Jerky Boys still hold a special place in my heart. BTW, have you heard any of Roy Wood Jr.'s prank calls? I'm starting to think that they might be even better...if that's possible.

Album art+The Omaha Sound Expedition+Jerky boys ftw. Man, I have to tell you that I used to love fucking sweaters like the one you were wearing. Too bad we can't travel back in time, grab some soda pop, hang around Mervyns, unzip our pant legs from our cargo pants/shorts, pick up on fat chicks and blast some Tal bachman from the boom-box.
