Yes, it’s another mix tape post. Have you ever heard the song “Sullivan” by Caroline’s Spine? It’s a great song. I was driving home from work one day a couple of months ago, one of my high school mix tapes blaring over the two screaming toddlers in my back seat, and this song came on. I did a little happy dance in my seat as the opening chords sounded through the speakers, remembering the first time I’d heard the song.
I was with my friend, Christy, and we were driving…somewhere. To the Rollerdrome, maybe? Or cruising Uni? Or maybe we were just bored and cruising the loop one day after school – I dunno. Regardless, we were together because we did everything together back then. Christy had recorded the song off the radio. One minute we were rockin’ out to “Save Yourself” by Stabbing Westward and the next, Caroline’s Spine was singing about the five Sullivan brothers. To this day, I find the placement of those two songs rather ironic.
