Yay!

I think I just found my new favorite song.

Hair Bands

Oh how I loved them as a teenage girl.

When TV is shit... which it now is being summer and all... I spend a lot of my free time on you tube. Tonight it was 80's Hair Metal... I was feeling all nostalgic.

Up All Night
Turn up the Radio
The Wild Life
Too Young to Fall in Love
Slow & Easy
Round & Round
Welcome to the Jungle
Monkey Business
Slave to the Grind
I Love it Loud
Bark at the Moon
Piece of Me

These are the songs I listened to back then. Some are missing, of course, but these are highlights.

There was also an awful lot of punk music that I listened to back then as well. Maybe I'll spend next Saturday night on Punk.

Wow.. just wow...

Week after week, I am utterly blown away by the talent on this one tiny, cute little show... plus I'm a sucker for musicals, which technically... this is.

Rain on my Parade

I Am Telling You

(click to hear.. sorry no video.. just had to share though)

Losing my obsession...

I used to be obsessed with music.

I listened to it AT ALL TIMES. If I was working, even. Where I work now, I don't think we're allowed.

Although, I am very tempted to ask my boss if I can don my mp3 player... only one earphone though.

If I wasn't listening to it, I was talking about it. If no one wanted to hear it, I thought about it.. a lot.

Has my job and other thoughts about responsibilities I have just taken over my mind and pushed my music thoughts aside? If so.. how much does that suck?

I miss it. Even now. I am sitting here at my computer writing this and no music is playing. Three hours ago, I was sitting here editing my budget. Still, no music playing. Two hours ago, I was entering some Avon orders and making invoices... wait for it. You guessed it.. No music playing. Now just a mere 5.. maybe 6 months ago WinAmp would be screaming out fantastic music as I did all that junk.

I downloaded anything and everything new and fabulous (let's face it.. there's really not much quality music anymore) or nearly forgotten classics or bands that were suggested to me by random people. That is so rare now.

My collection used to be incredible. It still is.. more or less, but I severely ignore it now.

These facts have occurred to me a few times over the last 5 or 6 months and even though I say I will dive back into my old music-obsessed ways.. I just can't seem to do so. I'm either working or sleeping. There's always some reason to ignore it.

That makes me really REALLY sad.

I did just launch WinAmp though, so I guess all is NOT lost. Not entirely.

Holy line up, batman!

Have you seen the line up for 2007 Lollapalooza?

Niiice.

Pearl Jam, Ben Harper (pardon me while I pant a little), Iggy Pop & the Stooges? My god... that right there is enough for me.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Modest Mouse?

Even Montreal's own Sam Roberts Band... though you have to scroll a ways to see them.

*sigh*

Lemme sleep on it...

"When Meatloaf died in Fight Club, I actually stood up in the theater and yelled "That's for Paradise, you son of a bitch!" And people applauded. "

Hehehehe.. go on over to FTTW and put in your 2 bits in on the worst 70's song ever. The above is a snippet of Michele's thoughts on "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" by Meatloaf. She hates that song. I have to agree. As much as I like Meatloaf, that's the worst of his songs.

I'm still thinking of my picks for worst 70's songs. I'll update later.

Here:

BRIDGES, ALICIA: I Love The Nightlife
STYX: The Best Of Times
A TASTE OF HONEY: Boogie Oogie Oogie

Le Sigh

One of my many obsessions.

Don't worry... not all my obsessions are dead. In case you were wondering.
