Aeon Station - a photo on Flickriver

Aeon Station

I don't know what to really tell you about time because I barely understand it but over a decade ago, I came upon a band called The Wrens performing This is Not What You Had Planned at Schubas Tavern. I can't find my photos of this unfortunately and I have probably taken a million other photos since then. In another age, I'd have them stacked up from Chicago to Los Angeles but here and now it's just hard drive systems that mock me and explain that time is really an illusion...except it's not because people do die or they do have kids and those kids are now in high school. People get really sick, get married, have accidents.

This post was about The Wrens and Aeon Station, though, so here goes. I had lost touch with my feelings for The Wrens. I think I took a trip once and I left them in Madrid or something. Maybe it was because it wasn't something I could physically see or not see when I took my suitcase. This is my rambling way of explaining that I forgot about them. They weren't putting out albums and there were a whole slew of other bands who were and who I saw and photographed and time kept going over and over again.

Kevin Whelan was in the band The Wrens, who may or may not ever play again. It's anyone's guess considering how time is so wibbly wobbly (If I were a Timelord, many of my adventures might be going to old concerts). Anyway, I didn't really know if I was going to like Aeon Station as much. I thought it might be like when too much time passes between the time you see an old friend and you have nothing in common anymore. Friends, I freaking loved Aeon Station. This band's album, Observatory, is one of those albums that I'll remember melodies of at the end of the world when there's nothing to keep me company except my memories of chord progressions long past. Aeon Station, people, have a listen:
