The Soundtrack of your LifeChe Grimsdale writes: Now that Simon Cowell's stolen Everybody Hurts, tell us about songs that mean something to you - good, bad, funny or tragic, appropriate or totally inappropriate songs that were playing at key times.

My Own Summer (Shove It) - DeftonesThis song opened my ears when I was about 15 years old, about a year or so after it's release. I'd always listened to whatever my dad picked for the car and now I had something to listen to that was mine.
That year I discovered the untold pleasures of the (drop D) electric guitar and met two of my now best mates as I bought a deftones hoody and wore it to school.
Everytime I hear this song it transports me to being sat on James' bed and rolling rubbish spliffs. Brilliant.
Note - 10 years later and I'm rolling marginally better spliffs at University listening to Lamb of God, so not much has changed.

ah, My Own Summerbrings back excellent memories for me of a specific time with a specific group of people. Good times

We're the same ageI have the same to say about that whole album. For my money, 'Adrenaline' and 'Around the Fur' were the only good albums they ever made, though my tastes may have just matured a bit. Who knows?
I will say that I (and a couple others) thought I was endlessly clever for always referring to them as the "Deft Ones."
