Day 30: A song that reminds you of yourself
"We Became Snakes" - #SaccharineTrust (1986)
All those confrontational, genre-busting bands who originally recorded for #SSTRecords back in the 80s - #BlackFlag, #Minutemen, #SaintVitus, #Slovenly etc etc - did more to shape my aesthetic sense than any other group of artists, before/since. Saccharine Trust - with their awesome musicality, far reaching poetics, and deeply felt spirit - embodied that aesthetic like no other. This song reminds me not only of why I still love them so much, but why I still love all those slithering snakes (read: people) we writhe around with day-in/day-out.
