Wednesday instructions for imitating me

1. Listen to this.
2. Imagine that this band's oeuvre, to which you have been feverishly devoted since age 16 or so, was critical in shaping your grimly lyrical ideas about love.
3. Now imagine finding that song on a jukebox last night as you shared a cigarette with a friend and discussed your current (actually promising!) romantic attitude.
4. Do you feel the contentment at life's sweet complexity rising up through your bones now?
