proximoceptionGot some Proust value out of:
Ugly Kid Joe's "Everything About You"
Fred Schneider's "There's a Monster in My Pants"
The video of the latter I must have seen only once and 25 years ago. I had the strangest ghost memories of it--with everything that happened I said to myself did that happen, then oh yes, I guess that happened. I remembered mostly that I should have been remembering things, that these memories had once been there, whereas with the Ugly Kid Joe I started anticipating lines and shots as it went.
I must be reaching the point where some memories are dying, rather than just being lost in the tangles and blends of the archive.
Of course it's hard to know what one forgets and how much and when. I think one part of the interest of these things that come back partway is they give some sense of the mechanics of obliviation.
