Well, it just proves my friend's theory that Halifax has .5 degrees of seperation.
Mighty fine shindig.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I've been working five-day weeks for the last month or so, the consequence of which is that I bought Danger Days today. I've heard tell it's what the kids are into these days.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Yes, kids these days are into Danger Days. I suggest utilizing cruise control if you listen in the car. I really hope you enjoy it. The album, not the cruise control.

Fortunately, I take the train into work, so I remain speeding ticket-free. There may have been toe-tapping in the carriage though (specifically when "Planetary (GO!)" came on).
Back when 4 Non Blondes released the dreadful "What's Up", there was a radio announcer over here who claimed that it had been so long since there'd been a good 'stand up and be counted' song. Which made no sense, because she was talking about "What's Up?" It would make perfect sense, however, about "Sing", which now comes to mind whenever I hear news from the Middle East these days.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I asked this in LJ/DW already, but I am curious about how people here would answer.
What's a song you like or love that you are pretty sure not many other people do?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"Shiny Happy People."
Sorry, I can't help liking that song.
There's a ton more but you don't mean obscure songs, do you?

Ann, that's a ferret.

You mean, other than half the #1 songs of the '70s?

I always assume a lot of other people like those though, even if they won't admit it.

Once years ago I brought my Rhino Super Hits of the '70s compilation tape to work. For just about every song that came up, some people were all "Oh, I hate this song; skip it," while others were "No, I love this song!" And which people fell into which group changed from song to song.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Few musical eras are as polarizing as the 70s.
