RUINED!

A list of things I loved (or could have) until they got ruined.

1. Radiohead - I once had this roommate; an older gentleman who enjoyed having copious sex with lot of different girls. I say girls because when I was their age I definitely didn’t yet identify as a woman. In an attempt to mask the sounds coming from his bedroom–moaning, spanking, skin slapping against skin–he would blast Radiohead. Often In Rainbows, sometimes OK Computer. Obviously the cover-up didn’t work very well if I’m able to describe in such detail what was going on in there. But it did kind of fuck up one of my favorite bands for me. It’s difficult to listen without conjuring the squelching noises that turned my skin green on so many of those afternoons and evenings spent alone in my room trying to write.
