Friday, March 30, 2007 The Song Remains the Shame You know, there were many, many important things that I could?ve spoken about today. Like how I typed this post(primarily) on my spankin? new Treo?a combination phone/pda/internet browser/nuclear missile launcher(also makes julienne fries!), with which I have fallen quickly and hopelessly in love. Seriously. I have strong feelings for it, feelings which cannot be denied. Someone should stop me before I tell it that it looks hot in its protective plastic screencover, and it should take it off to get more comfortable.(And then, of course, make it sign a lengthy waiver before filming it for Phones Gone Fierce 3: Menage a TREO. I am insane, you see.) Yes, I could tell you about that?or how this week, I saw a dude on a unicycle IN A SUIT with what appeared to be a completely unironic expression on his face.(Although, given that irony is the opposite of what you?d expect, and I DID expect him to have a smirky face, can I really describe his expression as unironi--oh look, the universe imploded.) Or I could thank you all for your awesome nude lip gloss suggestions(have more? Keep ?em coming!), which I am amidst testing out, Consumer Reports-style. But all of that must wait. You see, The Other Girl("TOG") had recently tagged me for a meme which is currently making its way through the internets like a drunk girl at a frat party.(The meme, by the way, is ?7 songs you can?t stop listening to right now.?) I have done music-themed posts before, but I put this task on my official ?to do? list...and promptly forgot. TOG has since called me out, along with Guinness Girl(so at least I?m in good company), intimating that we are rebellious East Coast girls. She neglected to point out, however, that as East Coast girls, we are hip, and that she really digs the styles we wear.(The Beach Boys know of which they speak.) All of this to say that I hereby publicly apologize to The Other Girl.(Who, by the way, is hysterical. Even if you don?t watch American Idol, read this post; I was literally weeping from laughing so hard.) The only thing is, I just tried to do the meme, and mine(mine?) was sort of?dull. I mean, are you REALLY interested in the fact that I have both The Arcade Fire?s ?Intervention? and Damien Rice?s ?9 Crimes? on repeat? Or that I can never ever stop listening to pretty much anyone?s version of ?Hallelujah?? There are no fun stories there?I just plain like the songs. In fact, the only remotely interesting thing about a song I can?t stop listening to lately is that I just downloaded Tina Turner?s ?Proud Mary,? and am secretly mentally choreographing a duet and dance routine for J and me to perform at parties.(Ha! I?m just kidding, J! Except that I?m not.) And even that, now that I think about it, is not interesting, so much as it is very very scary. Anyhow. I still wanted to comply with the meme in some way, and then it came to me: My supersecret iTunes playlist, entitled ?The Song Remains the Shame.? It fulfills all of the requirements, as it contains songs that I cannot stop listening to, and, inasmuch as you will likely laugh your ass off at the horrible collection of music below, should prove to be at least marginally entertaining: Sources: http://metalia.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html XxBiIIaxX 51 months ago Please sign in to give a compliment.
