Song: Feed the Tree
Artist: Belly
Moment: This song brings back a couple moments. I think I first bought this in high school after seeing the video on 120 Minutes, so it gives a vague recollection of summertime and MTV. It also reminds me of my sophomore year in college, summertime also. I was working for an indie health food shop (The House of Something Better--and it was a great old Victorian house) and got to play whatever music I wanted to (it was a 1-shopgirl-at-a-shift kind of place). I often looped this tape. It is so good and went so well with a book I was reading at the time called Sister.

Song: Father Figure
Artist: George Michael
Moment: Middle school, maybe late 7th or early 8th grade? My friend Amy L and I were beginning to try out makeup. I used to love to match my eyeshadow to my outfits (oh, faux pas! I know that now...), and I had a heavy hand with the old blusher. Friday nights were often spent at one another's homes making each other over.

Song: Got My Mind Set On You
Artist: George Harrison
Moment: Sleepover in 7th grade at Jenny Garbacz's house. We prolly spent some time playing Lounge Lizard Larry (one of those PC games where you type in the commands for the game characters) and making crank calls and then feeling all guilty because our marks were so nice to us. She'd always been quite the fashionplate, and I still remember how awesome it was that she had set up a cool dresser/vanity area inside her walk-in closet.
