Dashboard Memories
Best use of plinky piano counter-melody: “The Brilliant Dance” by Dashboard Confessional. That album was released 8 years ago. 8. Years. Bad things have happened since then, but I can remember nothing but good things. I think that means that nothing truly bad happened. That’s interesting.
In 2003, John got a copy of “A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar” by Dashboard. I remember looking at the album art, a cassette tape ground into asphalt, and wondering what the new album would sound like. In those early days of ripping music, there were some interesting quirks. I had to remove most of the spaces from “A Mark…” to make it fit in the ID3 tags of the MP3 files. Dashboard had all these really long song names, so I’ll always think of “The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most” as “The Places You Have Come to Fe”.
8 years from now, it’ll be 2017. I hope to remember only good things.

I remember that one Dashboard Concert where the opening band had a mosh pit going. Steve got trapped and Dan knocked over a bunch of people, picked Steve up, and brought him back to safety. Good times, great memories. Looking for the new ones!
