let me talk in terms of memories not just about music
is ’01 or ’02, I am just a kid going with my class for a camping trip, our bus is cruising thru the woods, early afternoon, we are not the most crazy bunch of idiots but we all have plenty of stupid ideas — so all is great, lot of laughs, some singing and so on
one of my friends comes to me, she was always the one with headphones everywhere.. and in her own world most of the time — „hey, you have to listen to this, I just know you will like this song“, she sits next to me, gives me one earbud, clicks something on her discman a few times and blasts Idioteque
song ended, I look at her, she looks at me, I am mostly processing what just happened.. and she goes „wanna listen to the entire album with me?“
if there is a way to make „fuck yeah“ face, I made it right away
the bus disappeared, all the noises, just some trees in the background flashing from time to time, we were so gone
sure, later I had to re-listen the entire album back at home but still, if there is a list of the most pleasant and spontaneous music discoveries and explorations, that was the perfect moment to just leave reality and enter the world of music
