The first album I ever bought myself was a double-cassette: Depeche Mode 101 & 102
ETA: But first single I ever bought was "1999."
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Gah - the mosque behind our building is having some kind of party for their school and so there are a TON of screaming kids out on the roof deck. The noise isn't the problem. The problem is that the roof deck is *right* outside my kids' bedroom window, and so I keep thinking I hear D or A crying, when actually it's just the party. SO INCREDIBLY ANNOYING.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I guess the first album I bought was Duran Duran, "Seven and the Ragged Tiger." No idea what the first 45 was, but I loved the blue "True Blue" (Madonna) record.

The first 45 I bought was “Mockingbird” by James Taylor and Carly Simon. My first “album” was the Doors on 8-track. I was reading the Morrison biography at the time.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We never had an 8-track player so they always held that fascination with the unknown for me.

First cassette I bought was a single. Some sort of dance/trance music I cannot remember the name of the group, and yet I remember the spoken line (in the background): Qu'est ce que tu cherche? La vertu par la vie? (spelling possibly at issue.)
eta: just got my google-fu right: Enigma, Sadness Part I. And my spelling in french has deteriorated.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
K-Bug and a friend were at an estate sale and her friend bought a record of Peter and the Wolf. K-Bug hadn't heard it before. I feel like I failed a bit as a mom.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
You realize this makes me want to text, "Hi Dita!" to you now, right?
My text to Juliana was "New Discovery--the text sound scares Dita."
The next one was "Send more".
