Re: the Real Estate Bubble. Yesterday on the CBC Business news they were talking about something called the water cooler theory, which was as soon as you hear a lot of people in your office, at parties, etc. talking about how they are making a killing, it's a good time to sell and get out. That's what that article made me think of.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I love this song. So there.
ita--makes sense. I have a soft spot for "I love you AIFG" types of songs--even when I was all divorcing and bitter. Go figure.
ETA-- Oops! makeS sense--I am agreeing with ita, not lecturing her.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Go figure.
The "I'm so broken" makes sense for me to like, obviously. The "Oh, you'll live to regret this!" NSM. Having never broken up. I think everyone likes the "I'm not broken after all!" songs (cf I'm A Believer), so I don't find my love of that song topic quite as interesting.
You? You're just an optimist and can't shake it. Makes perfect sense.

You are making me remember how booooring junior high/middle school dances were. And a couple of my friends did a talent show thing to Sunglasses at Night in 3rd or 4th grade. So funny.
I think until I started driving, the only time I really heard pop was over at friends' homes or at school. My parents had the monopoly on the tv and radio.

Since ita posted the list of Awesomely Bad Songs, I find myself muttering, "Sussu-sussudio mmm mmm thong-th-thong-thong-thong take these broken wings never gonna let you down rrrrrico and she moves and she moves this city on rock and rooooll so I can so I can no way I'm disco dancing it hasn't been your day your week your month or even your butterfly it's been burning since the world's been hey hey hey what's goin' on?"
I'll just go beat my head in with a stapler, shall I?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Robin's getting on my bad side today. I fuckin' hate "Two Princes" and take an unhealthy amount of glee in the fact that the lead singer got an hysterical case of inability to sing. Also...
I got a big hate on for Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love is". Sounds less like a love song and more like strangled whining to me.
C'mon! Even Paul Westerberg loves that song. It's perfect pop/gospel/pseudosoul.
