I was talking to my friend Onno about how I never listen to full albums anymore (this was sparked, by the way, by a conversation about Adam Lambert), but instead listen to single, individual mp3’s on my computer (usually while being completely absorbed in doing something else like emailing). So not only do I listen to far less music in general now, but I also think I experience the music differently than back in the day, when you would pop a CD in your stereo and actually sit there and LISTEN to it. Until the CD would be over, and then you’d put a different CD on, etc. So this is a damn shame. And that’s why, last week, I decided that I’M BRINGING CD’s BACK!
starting with Adam Lambert’s. And, here is, appropriately enough, Adam’s song “Music Again” (which you should listen to off the CD! but ok)
A trip down memory lane -here are a few of my most-played CD’s through the years:
Whitney Houston (this actually was the first CD I ever bought), during elementary school, when I used to perform little made-up dances on “I wanna dance with somebody” and “Love is a contact sport” with my friend Thomas.
Fleetwood Mac, my mom’s CD, which I thought was so cool because in 1992, the older girls in my gymnastics class would study their routine on “Everywhere”. I tried to copy them at home, listening to the CD and wearing my purple and pink leotard.
No Doubt, 1997: my first year in high school, when I discovered ’skater’ pants and doc Martens.
PJ Harvey: just dark enough to match my adolescent moodiness.
1. Agyness Deyn: because she pops up everywhere, ALWAYS with that same droopy-eyed stare, which really annoys me. Plus: she has a very annoying name.
2. Lady Gaga: Okay, she’s pretty entertaining and all, but she seems to feel the need to be overly ‘FIERCE’ with every single thing she does (this annoys me). I can understand her wanting to be Madonna (who doesn’t?), but we already have a Madonna, and her name is Madonna. That super-low voice of hers also annoys me, and if I hear ‘Poker Face’ one more time, I will puke my brains out. Literally.
3. Kanye West, because, well…megalomaniacs just tend to have that effect on me.
Annoying runners-up:
-Olivia Palermo (annoying, yet incredibly entertaining!…)
-Anyone that is, or talks about the Octo-mom (and I myself will stop it immediately).
