You're looking happily deranged.
Greetings from Indiana. I'm here for a holiday weekend filled with bratwurst and hazy, whiskey-fueled shenanigans. This update is brought to you by those things, as well as television shows from my youth.
Polaris - Hey Sandy. A great theme song for an equally great show, this track is lifted directly from the original soundtrack to The Adventures of Pete and Pete. For any unfamiliar parties out there, let me set the record straight: Pete and Pete may be the pinnacle of televised young adult programming, beating even the kings of angst over at Degrassi for the title of "Best Kid's Show Ever". Over the course of three seasons, the brothers Wrigley harnassed the oddly unique power of the early 90s alternative movement and made it kid-friendly. You could almost call it suburban surrealism. While the narrative was compelling enough, the musical sensibilities of the show's producers rang strangely authentic. The guest stars alone were off the charts. Iggy Pop was a concerned neighborhood father. Syd Straw and LL Cool J were local teachers. Hell, Marshall Crenshaw was the fucking meter man! Throughout all this, there was Polaris. Composed of members from alt-pop band Miracle Legion, Polaris provided the soundtrack for the Petes' adventures. Amazingly, these songs stand on their own, regardless of your level of familiarity with or fondness of the show. Please, see for yourselves, my little vikings.
BONUS: Polaris - Waiting for October. Fuck Prince. You'll never find a happier song about the end of the world.
