Teenage FanClub, a late 80s-early 90s Scottish, alternative rock band, created a song that I haven't been able to get out of my head since I first heard it. The song, entitled "The Concept", which was released in '91, was used in a modern-day bizarre comedy starring Charlize Theron, affectionately and ironically titled "Young Adult". I often watch this movie, effortlessly placing myself in Charlize's shoes, as she relives her "glory days" and attempts to reconnect with her first love. This song is redundantly played throughout the film, highlighting the flesh memory notion of music, along with the time capsule that certain songs are able to willingly trap us within.
BandwagonEsque. How fitting.
