Potentially Interesting Places #4

Sooo.... I'm a whole day late with it this week. I swear, I'll get my stuff together. Someday. However, this one was filmed at midnight or so in an IHoP, so imagine the hilarity. Just imagine. I did break one of my rules about not having a friend hold the camera for this video, but I'm not sure how my consequence system works for that kind of thing yet. Maybe every time I break a rule, you guys get to pick the next song?

Anyway, here's my song "Independent Together" at the IHoP on Madison in Seattle, WA. I have a few memories there. Late night coffee and side dishes, being called to pick up and escort a friend out of the place at roughly 5 AM.... Actually, maybe it's just those two. This song was the counterpart to "Once Electric." It's kind of about finding out that it might be time to give up the chase, and it's full of trivial references to things I was reading at the time. Prairie voles are maybe the most commonly studied creatures when comparing human mating behavior to what goes on in the animal kingdom as they're one of few species that bond monogamously. Blue light is most efficient at cutting through fog. "Endless Summer" and The Knack are less efficient, but really good to have on vinyl nevertheless.
