Skating Club

Around the time I decided to try and make records, I was listening to Galaxie 500 an awful lot, playing 'this is our music' over and over and their cover of 'don't let our youth go to waste' which still kind of makes me want to cry whenever I hear it. I remember walking into the Cambridge Music store up in Porter square in 98 or so and seeing a signed album of theirs and thinking, "I better get my shit together and make a record."



People don't know this and I don't talk about it much, but I always made computer and synth music before SC. I remember hearing Low's first record and Verve and Swervedriver and slowdive and they pointed me more towards the guitar. But I'm not very guitar oriented, not what I would call a good player at all.



My first band was called Difference Engine. That was a long time ago. For real.
