I'm doing 37 things
so i’ve been waiting quite some time to let go of my tattoo virginity, but i finally sealed the deal last week.
this tattoo is meaningful for so many reasons. the adventure club is a local radio show in dallas. it comes on sunday nights for 3 hours and the dj plays music i’ve never heard anywhere else on the radio: bjork, radiohead, the smiths, avec, the impossibles etc. punk, indie, just anything good. i’ve listened to the show for 8 years and it’s kind of become my soundtrack during sunday evening events. to put this in perspective, i’ve gone through high school and all of college listening to this show. so much happens during this period in one’s life, it’s hard not to be nostalgic over it.
recently, two major things have happened:
- clear channel yanked the show off the air due to “budget cuts” a few weeks ago. the show is no more and whatever little glimmer of good music that was left on the airwaves has ceased to exist. its back to mainstream “altrock” for them.
- i am planning on moving away from the dallas area aka my hometown and this tattoo will serve as a little reminder of home.
