harrison elementary

from built to spill posted in music by nevereatshreddedwheat

Christmas, Twin Falls, Idaho is her oldest memory
She was only two
It was the first time she felt blue

Cafeteria, Harrison Elementary
Beneath a parachute
I saw her without shoes
7UP I touched her thumb and she knew it was me
Although she couldn't see
Unless of course she peeked

My mom's good she got me out of Twin Falls, Idaho
Before I got too old
You know how that goes
That's where she still was the summer she turned 17
In 1983, three weeks after me
Last I heard was she had twins or maybe it was three
Although I've never seen
But that don't bother me

records

Former location of the used record store Records as seen on the cover of DJ Shadow's first album Endtroducing...... That's Chief Xcel and Lyrics Born from the Solesides label browsing. This is also where they filmed parts of DJ Shadow's video for "Midnight In A Perfect World."

The space was rumored to be haunted by a Victorian woman the owners supposedly named Gertrude. Perhaps that's why they moved. The store is currently located down on Broadway and Land Park Drive.

the budokan

from cheap trick, bob dylan posted in music by nevereatshreddedwheat

The Budokan (or the Nippon Budokan a.k.a. Martial Arts Hall built for the 1964 Summer Olympics) is a 14,000+ person indoor arena in Tokyo. In Japan they know it mainly as a pro wrestling venue, but Americans might recognize it as that place where a lot of live albums were recorded.

Cheap Trick recorded Cheap Trick at Budokan here in 1978, which became their best-selling album. Bob Dylan's live album Bob Dylan at Budokan was released in 1979.

Dozens of musicians recorded live albums here, and the ones who creatively titled them Live at Budokan (or Live at the Budokan) include Blur, Mr Big (who later returned in 2009 with their album Return to Budokan), Ozzy Osbourne, Bryan Adams, Sheryl Crow and probably many more.
