Retrovision 90s - Hayden

Ten years ago, actually 12, I saw a video for "As Bad As They Seem" by Hayden on 120 Minutes. That began a five or six year obsession with the Canadian singer-songwriter. How could I not like a guy who has, in the background of one of his songs, the sound of his mom vacuuming? He wrote the kind of songs that gave no reason to venture outside the walls of my apartment. A CD, headphones and music that made feeling bad, feel good. And most importantly, it was a break from the daily Smiths/Cure audio injection.

But until last night, when working on the interview for Weinland, I had misplaced my memory of Hayden. When looking on Badman Recording's Web site, I noticed Hayden is now on their roster. And so off I go to YouTube, and no I added a couple of video's to the RMVs.

Ah, the bliss of musical youth.

And as a non-read note, today would have been my parents 38th anniversary. RIP, dad.
