Four years ago I dated a redhead with more freckles than Oso. We were in no way opposites, and our common music interest was one of the things that brought us together. Even then, I was still introduced to some great new music through him and my love for Prince grew even more.
The Redhead introduced me to the The Velvet Teen, a band from his hometown of Santa Rosa. (Speaking of Santa Rosa, I had a 10-minute radio on the David Glass show about the increasing cost of a UC education.) A few days after we broke up, the Velvet Teen played a show at UCLA. It was bittersweet, but I started liking the band even more.
The Redhead IM’ed me today to ask if I had any of the Velvet Teen’s music as mp3s on my computer. I did. I zipped up The Great Beast February EP & Comasynthesis EP and sent them via YouSendIt.
Four years after breaking up and moving on, I still have the music and now I’m the one sharing it with him… and you too.
The Great Beast February-Comasynthesis EP [Plus Minus Equals] (YouSendIt zip file)
the internet is a frighteningly small place.
and that’s one lucky dude.
It’s the very beat of the music that will never let us forget who we once loved.
half of my hip hop collection is on hold, it reminds me of brooklyn… :’(
ahh music. it saves and hurts all at once.
Love the photo of the two of you maybe you’ll salvage a better friendship from the old relationship now! The download is taking awhile, I’ll let you know what mine old ears think of it
You’re quite a remarkable woman. Most ex’s won’t even talk to each other. I know I may be wrong on this, but doesn’t your ex look like Wayne Rooney?
He actually had red hair as well. I’m sorry about Mexico today, but they still made it to the second round (from what I was told).

Is it me, or does your ex looking like Wayne Rooney?
He actually has red hair as well, but I know the picture doesn’t do him or your ex any justice. I’m sorry to hear about Mexico today, but from what I understand they’re still in the tournament.

K,
The way we met was because he was at a party with fellow okp’s. It’s strange how many of my close friends now came about from that simple website.
Julissa,
Very true. So comforting at times, but can also bring pain.
Vicky,
I’m sorry. If it makes you feel any better, watching “Brownsugar” after we broke up made me feel really sad. Cuidate.
Frances,
Yeah. It was a slow download and upload. I thought it was just my connection. We have a pretty good relationship now, but hardly as close, and I think that’s okay considering we were/are both in relationships. Moving on is cool.
Jeff,
I might be the odd girl who still talks to most of her exes, thought not too much. I don’t like the idea of completely closing someone out of your life. None of my relationships have ended so horribly where I’ve felt the need to do that, so being friends (a while after the breakup) came naturally. About your comments, for some reason, they kept getting flagged as spam.
Xolo,
De nada.
Diana,
Hi! Have you left LA yet? Mayb I’ll visit you in SB.
Pepito,
