In a fit of nostalgia after reading a post Sally had made talking about when we were young and every song you listened to profoundly altered your life. I decided to have a sift through my old tape collection in a effort to see if I could find anything worth listening to. So in between Will Smiths 'Wild Wild West' and the Vengaboys album I found a few scraps of interest in The Divine Comedy and some old Basement Jaxx singles. Then I eventually stumbled upon the first album I ever bought which was The Offspring ' Conspiracy of One'. This album was released in 2000 which depending on who's reading this may feel like eons ago or just yesterday, for me its the former, I was struck with inspiration.
So what I'm going to try do as a regular/semi-regular thing (let's say every two weeks)is try bother bands I like to try find out what kick-started their musical journey.
So anyway here's mine.
The Offspring - Conspiracy of One (2000).
Top Track - Special Delivery
Now off to come up with a good title...

Ah, the Offspring. Memories...
'Smash' was the bomb. The Offspring was my one proper gig in the SFX, and it was epic. I remember being quite naive about punk shows. When queueing up outside I saw that the guy in front of me had both his shoes stapled to his pants. He noticed that I was looking at him strangely and said "You'll see, you'll see". Before the band was two songs in I had lost both my shoes in the mosh. Lesson learned...
lol!:D
