Flashback Friday: Rogue Wave, Rilo Kiley, Nada Surf!



Guess what!
It's...


FLASHBACK FRIDAY!!!!!

Song of the Day: "Endless Shovel"

I was, per usual, listening to JOSIAH on my drive home from work this afternoon and he played a little Rogue Wave to end my workday. I downloaded this song 6 years ago (!) when it first came out--thanks to some link from a Warren Miller filmsite. (I was tracking down music to ski to, obvs).

It's one of those tracks that I'm always pleased to hear and it's one of those songs that I always associate with a specific time and place in my life: racing (alpine), training, racing, and some more training. My musical tastes at that time veered from Incubus to Modest Mouse to some lingering affection for BBMak; Rogue Wave provided a soundtrack to my freshman year of high school as well as a pretty chill introduction to indie rock.

That same link (was I on a K2 equipment site??? Jesus...) also took me to Nada Surf and Rilo Kiley--two bands I therefore associate closely with "Endless Shovel" and face shots.

Happy Flashback Friday!
