set in

okay, so i'm listening to Rock and Roll Part 3 which may be one of the greatest albums you never heard (or DID here, depending). that album practically defined my transition from "way dorky kid" to "still way dorky, if not dorkier kid, but i'm ok with it...kid." it's really too bad that Ozma broke up. they are were such an awesome musical force.

i remember countless times trying to point out to people the differences between Weezer and Ozma. some people understood, others scoffed.

i remember going to Warped tour in 2002, not because i wanted to see the F-ing Alkaline Trio or something like that, but because i wanted to see melodic, poppy, sensical music, and also to quasi-mosh to "Korobeiniki"the Tetris theme song.

i remember going to the worst small venue in town Ascot Room at the Quest to see Ozma supporting their third album.

one more thing from my young adulthood gone

oh no

it go

it gone

bye bye

(bye)

Everytime I think I'm finished being young
I catch myself having fun
But the moment passes as the sun moves on
So I turn myself back to you

I remember you explaining the difference between OZMA and Weezer to me. OZMA is more classically influenced whereas Weezer is more classic rock influenced. I think that is what you said. I also remember the ascot room show. Or a ascot room show. I didn't go with you, and I'm not sure I knew you at the time. They didn't play lorraine. I wanted them to. I got their setlist, and then my mom ripped off the ducttape, so now it is not in mint condition. Oh well. Oh OZMA. I remember. Posted by: Eric S at August 16, 2004 11:33 PM
