My name is Chris Bowser and I have a terrible memory. I’m
not sure why it is so bad, could be all the head injuries, genetics, general
disinterest, any number of things really. What I do know is that I have a hard
time remembering times, dates and important detail based information. The only
thing that I am good at remembering is pop culture facts and figures. It’s a
strange block for me, ask me any of my kids birthday’s and I will have to check
my phone for the information (google calendar is a god send). Ask who directed
an obscure film from the 70’s or the band who recorded a one hit wonder from
the 80’s and I’ll come up with the answer right quick. With that being said I
have an acute memory for just about every song, artist or album that I have
ever heard. These memories could range from the first time I have heard the
songs or a story that goes along with them. It’s strange to me because not only
do I have a bad memory but the senses that are commonly tied strongest to
memory (taste and smell) are also dull, leaving me with this all around void
revolving around describing memories. With that said my memory regarding music
and sounds is spot on. Hopefully some will find these post interesting, funny
or insightful. Mostly I am recording them so that I can get these down before I
start to forget them.
So how this will work is I’ll write down songs that I hear
and the memory that comes up with them in detail. These are in no particular
order and it’s up to you as the reader to place things together. I will provide
the estimated years, month and day of it. I will do no additional research on these
bands or songs outside of very basic information. These posting will be my
memories and what that means is that the truth I say will be subject to my
remembering of the truth. I will do minimal editing of each of my posts so that
I can get a more honest memory. I will use names and describe their relation to
me, if the same name comes up over multiple posts than I will not repeat the
relation. If I want to give some song listening advice about a certain thing that comes up, I will put it at the end of the post.
First some info about me to make the reading process easier.
I am a 31 year old man. I was born in 1985. I have a wife and 3 kids, my oldest
is 4 years old and my youngest will be born in May of 2016. I have been in the
Army reserves since 2008 and I was married once before. My primary musical
taste is Rock (classic, Nu, modern, hair, what have you), Punk (classic,
modern, 90’s, pop, ska), Pop (modern, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s). There’s much more, but
you’ll have to read my posts to see what I mean. Thanks for reading and come
back for updates frequently.
