I am listening to Beastie Boys' "Check your Head" They haven't been this good since.
This album helped expand my mind, because before this my thought on the BBoys was 'who the fuck are THEY?'

Then they actually play their instruments and wow - pretty f'n cool

That was the soundtrack to my second year in the US Peace Corps, which would make an encyclopedia of novels right there.

One day staring at death in the muzzle of a Kalashnikov, the next day smoking pure opium, and the day after going to a meditation retreat.

1. That's an excellent album.
For me it was working three jobs and juggling four men the summer before my senior year in college.

2. Damn, the year prior WAS my Senior year in college
After that, it was live at home and get fat, date no one, hate life to US Peace Corps for three years - fun as all hell, crazy as all hell, and fucked up as all hell.

3. Those were good years.
I lived in Russia after college and that was fucked as well. Where were you in the PC?
