"Black Fingernails, Red Wine"
This song is by Eskimo Joe, a group from Perth. Hearing it this afternoon took me from my desk in Atlanta up to Cairns, Queensland, over St. Patrick's Day weekend 2007. (Nice that I can take these little trips to Oz whenever I need to!) I was up there for the weekend visiting a dive instructor/triathlete I'd met over Christmas. This song was playing in the car while we drove to a clinic to pick up x-rays from his broken foot (broken while sky diving). Can anyone say adrenaline junkie? I wised up soon enough and ran!
The only good thing about that weekend was meeting a couple from North Carolina that were on their honeymoon. I think I actually spent more time with them that weekend than with the guy. Typical.

That song is the parking lot of the Taupo Hot Springs for me! And also driving from Adelaide to Melbourne a week later. And also many Friday nights after that seeing the video on Megahertz. And also many times at work listening to the Triple J CD my cool sister sent me.
But mostly the De Bretts parking lot. That was the first time I heard it, and I was like, "Hmmm, maybe?" but then listening to it a ton and the associations with it, now I'm like, "Yes indeed!"
It's possible that all those times we were listening to the CD you gave me - cos you must have given it to me for my birthday that year, and then we took it on our honeymoon.
So you're responsible for all that. :)
You're welcome. :)
