Getting back into the swing of things. Might as well talk about music.<\/p>\n

Valentine’s Day comes and goes this year. I spend the evening at Amoeba with many other single folk. And most of us feign bitterness, but inside we all realize that Valentine’s Day is just a fake holiday, a totally crass commerical ploy to get people to pretend they’re in love for a day and deny that relationships always end in tragedy and unhappiness and that there’s no such thing as true love.<\/p>\n

We’re a well-adjusted bunch.<\/p>\n

My own Valentine’s gift comes quite unexpectedly from Mary Lorson, whose latest album<\/a> drops into the store that day. I love Mary Lorson. My earliest memory of her music comes from her Madder Rose<\/a> days. I had taped a video for “Panic On” from their second album. This was back in ’94 I think. I was supposed to hang out with Gaby one night. It was a first date kind of situation, where I’m ready and anxious about an hour before she’s supposed to come over. So to kill time I watched that video over and over and over.<\/p>\n

To me, that song is about falling in love. How Valentine’s Day is that?<\/p>\n

Mary Lorson, then and now:<\/p>\n
