A vision of walking around and imagining my Walkman headphones were actually giant speakers accompanying me forcing the world into dancing and performing their tasks to my music. If I had giant speakers up in the sky blasting my own music then everywhere I went people would have to listen to my music and the world would have a uniform emotion, a sort of interconnectedness. Like an unrelenting soundtrack to which everyone must acquiesce… These are my speakers in the sky.

The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impression That I Get
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones is an American ska punk band from Boston, Massachusetts, formed in 1983. They are often credited as one of the progenitors of the genre of ska punk and the creators of its sub-genre ska-core, which mixes elements of ska with punk rock and hardcore. Starting with the release of their 1989 debut Devil's Night Out, the band toured and recorded extensively throughout the 1990's, becoming influential in the development of the American third-wave ska scene and was one of the first bands to popularise the genre in the musical mainstream. They reached their commercial peak with their platinum-selling 1997 album Let's Face It and its hit single "The Impression That I Get". The song was certified Gold in digital sales in 2014. Going for a bands most popular song always feels a bit lazy, but this is one I love and brings back teenage memories so screw it, I am going with it today.
