What I'm listening to today: Track 17, The Mathletes
I think I've mentioned Joe Mathlete who I went to high school with and made music on four-track tapes. Most of his music was earnest indie folk-pop but he had this one song I loved that was a deafening blast of exuberant, overdistorted emotional noise. This was given to me directly by Joe on an unlabeled CD-R, so I always thought of this song as "17". I think the actual name was something like "illegal ghost bikes".
