Rediscovery

The song this blog is named for is... very special to me.

The song is Dirty Magic, by The Offspring, who released a new album today. So I get it and put it on, and it's a very strange type of nostalgia, because it's one of the first bands I ever liked and I've been listening to them for 10 years, and now there's a new album to explore. Anyway, I go through the first 8 tracks, which aren't that amazing. Then track 9 starts, and it's... that bass intro I know so well. It's Dirty Magic, rerecorded, and brand new, and shiny.

I've been listening to it all day, it makes me remember why I fell in love with the song in the first place. And it takes me back to that person who taught me a lot, mostly the hard way.

It's been... strange having this unexpected chunk of my past fall into my lap.

I can't think of an articulate way to finish this. My mind is racing with memories...
