Oh Thursday, you little minx you. You’re so close to that weekend we’re all working for, yet you force us to suffer through two more whole days of work before we get there. You’re a roller coaster of feelings; calm, frantic, sleepy, stressed, anxious and yet still…hopeful. You’re the weekday equivalent to downing a handful of Valium and chasing it with a triple shot of espresso. You’ve got a soundtrack, Thursday, yes you do.
Two Gallants’ debut album, The Throes, was beautifully remastered in 2006 and one of the tracks that immediately grabbed me was “The Train That Stole My Man.” It’s toward the end of the album, so it’s easy to fatigue before getting there, but if you can make the journey, you’ll find it’s well worth it.
Give it a listen but be patient, it starts off a little sleepy, just like my Thursdays so often do. Soon enough, it will be the weekend.
