two days ago i went to my first uni (i have mentioned it some time ago that i have not only studied cultural but albo animal sciences). I have not been there since 2006, the last day i remebmer was some exam i took in september. and right after it i started taking my driving lessons. two years later - in 2008 - i got a letter from the university saying that i have been removed from students lists. what a surprise! But my documents (A levels summary and high school diloma) have stayed there for all these years. I didn't need them (had copies), so why bother.. suddenly, on monday i thought that maybe i should go there and go on a little music journey to 2005/2006. i made an apoitment with dean's office fon wenesday.
what did i listen to in 2005? what was my biggest inspiration and love?
antony of course!
i have met someone who loved antony as much as me, and while we were seeing each other for few autumn months we have both been sinking into antony more. i remember lying under the tree close to the uni on saturday, and listening to ant. i remember recording some of his b-sides and sharing them. and i remember one particular album i made. it was called 'the origin of angry inch' (yep, hedwig). the song i have put there were:
1. perry como - catch a falling star
2. eM - to wigh impossible things (the cure cover) here
3. cabaret - electric chair song here
4. the black lips (antony's cabaret) - love letters
5. antony - virgin mary
6. royksopp - what else is there
7. INXS - by my side
8. army of lovers - obsession
9. rafal olbrychski - slodko gorzki here
10. hedwig ost - the origin of love
11. hedwig ost - angry inch
12. hedwig ost - wig in a box
13. hedwig ost - midnight radio
14. coldplay - fix you
soooooo, on wenesday, when i went to the far far far university i was listening to it, but somehow i forgot to put antony's songs onto the playlist. i was riding round the city for good few hours, because i needed to collect some stupid stamps from few libraries, and the whole time i was missing something. i felt absolutley nothing when i saw the campus and the ugly blue, green and red buildings. when i finally finished my adventure with the worst university i have ever heard of, when i finnaly grabbed my docs and left building number 23 'animal sciences building', when i got on the underground and changed the playlist, i randomly put ant on. and then i felt it. a big big kick of memories. i was tranfered to september 2005, i was meeting my ex gf and listen to antony, i was writing what he wrote on his cheek and taking pics, i was thinking that his name would be the one i could tattoo on my body (what i did last year finally), i was thinking that it's so amazing that ant sings my heart out. i kinda fell in love with him. i had dreams with him and about him. he was singin just for me. i went to mazuria and lied on the hammock in the woods and was listening to 'frankenstein', to 'just one star', 'a man needs a maid' and to other rare songs.
and for years frankenstein has become the greatest love song i have ever heard:
just to mention, i was coming home yesterday, after a very good day at the production and of course i listened to antony on the underground. i fucking started to cry. i know, i'm too old for that kind of shit, but he really melts me, he breaks me into thousands little pieces.
