high maintenance libido

i miss the locust.
i used to love them so incredibly much. i just found their last ep and album to be lackluster. not bad, but they've parted with so much of their speed, and that crazy speed was one of the things i loved most about them. the last time i saw them i was still in washington, it was in seattle, and cattle decapitation and daughters blew them away. it didn't sound like the locust i fell in love with. i remember commenting that night that i had never seen them play for even half as long, it was so slow. they had no urgency. no limit of energy. i didn't even bother to see them the last time or two they were in town, but now i miss them. i miss them like an old friend, or ex boyfriend who i rarely think of, but suddenly developed this crazy longing for.
they were very special. i adored them, they were very me. but i suppose i have moved on.
