The Prince Flashbacks: Private Joy
February 25th, 2011
Wow…this song takes me straight back to freshman college days (which is not when the song was released mind you…I’m not quite that old). I always thought this song was hot. And for some reason it reminds me of some guy I dated for a hot second named Ulysses. What the hell that’s about, I [...]
The Prince Flashbacks
February 21st, 2011
Someone reminded me of a Prince song, which I had not heard or thought of in YEARS, so I went and listened to it again and…wow. It’s funny how all of the emotions that you were living with when you heard a song frequently, just come rushing back to you and take up residence all [...]
HERE! I’m Over HERE!
November 14th, 2010
I have to say right from the start, that I don’t mean to sound ungrateful. Really. I am grateful for every pair of eyes that takes the time to sit down and read the words of wisdom retarded shit I have to say. Really. A lot of my friends have been finding the blog through [...]
Songs From My Past: Watching You
September 29th, 2010
I used to love this song. I’m not quite sure why, but I just know I thought it was hot. Actually, I do know why: aside from the incredibly sexy beat of this song, I think I had delusions that someone would actually imagine that it could apply to me one day, that I would [...]
Songs From My Past: In the Morning
September 22nd, 2010
This song was the first non-nursery song that my little girl loved. As we drove to school, I’d play it and she would sing along lustily and happily, fudging the words as only a 2-year old can. It’s 4 years later and she doesn’t even remember liking this song, which makes me wistful; she looks [...]
Songs From My Past: What’s Going On
September 19th, 2010
Today is my mom’s birthday. We rarely speak anymore; her depression is hostile and cold and after cutting me off completely 4 years ago we only recently regained a contact that is still strained and superficial. Still…she is my mother. I feel her influence every single day. I’m a Yankee fan because of my mom. [...]
Songs From My Past: The Beautiful Ones
September 15th, 2010
The memories and feelings are so loaded on this one that to speak too much on it would feel like desecration. The days in which this song – indeed, this whole album – felt like a script of my life are almost 30 years gone, and yet when I hear this song my heart still [...]
Songs From My Past: Open Sesame
September 9th, 2010
Today is my cousin’s birthday, so it’s only fitting that I throw in a song today that reminds me of him. When we were small we used to love this song. For some now completely inexplicable reason, we felt the need to do kung-fu whenever it came on. We had a whole ritual: we would [...]
Songs From My Past: One More Night
September 6th, 2010
I know a lot of people who think Phil Collins is cheesy and I don’t give a shit. This song…wow. This one goes back to high school. Junior year. My boyfriend and I, this was our song, you couldn’t tell us shit about this song. Then he went away to college and it became even [...]
Songs From My Past: Someone Saved My Life Tonight
September 2nd, 2010
I love music. I don’t know too many people who hate it, but you know that thing that you did as a teen, lying in your bed in the dark listening to your Walkman and just zoning out or daydreaming? I still do that, just with an iPod. Music takes me away, to where I’ve [...]
