icourtland!

this is a little disturbing, but in a good way i think…

everywhere i go as of late seems to have 80′s music playing. had an absolute blast yesterday at the new local(ish) IKEA with some great music playing. discovered an old ability that i thought that i had lost – i can (most of the time) identify the song playing in the first few lines of music, before the lyric starts – down to the artist.

some stuff i had not heard in so long – yet again every word comes back.

how many brain cells are filled with 80′s music i wonder? have i blown my possible mental storage space for things like other languages or deep scientific knowledge? if i didn’t know every line from “take on me” or “tell me why” could i have been a doctor? if the almost the entire Depeche Mode and Yaz catalog wasn’t playing somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind could i have been an atomic scientist (or honestly known what one is…)? lets not even talk about the space that the B-52′s must take up!

“things that make you go hmmm”
