EAT THE DISHES, BITCHES

Upon further reflection, it’s become clear to me that I have a very particular form of synesthesia.

Specifically, there is a cross-sensory union in my mind between rock bands and candy.

So, even more than recognizing that eating licorice and listening to Gang of Four was a moment of acute sensual pleasure, I will go so far as to posit the following:

Gang of Four = licorice

Here are some further rock/candy equations:

Chuck Berry = Rock candy
R.E.M. = Blow Pops
The High Llamas = Nik-L Nips
Stereolab = Lik-M-Aid Fun Dip
Pearl Jam = Peanut Brittle
Television = Peppermint Patty
James Brown = Butterfinger
Bruce Springsteen = Bubble Yum Original
Sufjan Stevens = Aero Bar
Beck = Crispy M&Ms
Bjork = Twix
Art Brut = Razzles
Sonic Youth = Charleston Chew
