He came from above, and without warning. I was all alone-Wyatt was running around like a chicken with his head cut off, looking for a road to cross. Suddenly, an obscenely tall, dark figure filled the doorway, headphones dangling dangerously around his neck. "No," I thought. "It can't be...." But there he was, in all his glory, Josh the Intern. Risen from the depths of that school across the swamp that shall remain nameless, he came to complete our trio, even if only for two hours on a Sunday evening. Stars aligned, the planets hung in a perfect balance, and all was right with the world.
We here at Vibrations of Nations would like to believe that we reflect the current musical trends. While we were having our own little reunion, some other, and frankly less attractive and important people in some band called Pavement, decided to get back together and do a little touring. Starting in New York in 2010, Pavement will be bouncing around major cities all across the U.S. for the reunion tour! Between them and the Pixies, I feel like all those couples you thought were going to make it in high school, who then broke up in college, are getting back together to restore our faith in humanity.
We had quite a lot to celebrate, so Wyatt made is 278th run to his dorm to get balloons. Turns out balloons are filled with helium. Turns out helium makes you sound like a chipmunk. Turns out we never matured past 6th grade. Oh well. That's about the last time Pavement played together anyways, so let's just say we were in the mood.
