Today In - 'Closet Case'
I'm thinking this may be a new feature.
Clinton over at ZFS was asking if it was ok to like The Dresden Dolls, and reading the comments, it made me wonder about which musical act/songs people are in the closet for being a fan of.
So first up, for me: Ace of Base - 'Don't Turn Around'.
Ok, so I LOATHED Ace of Base when they came out, mostly for the part that their songs were inane, and played ad nauseum on the radio.
However, now as an adult, whenever I hear the Base, I get instantly transported back to the early 90's, when I was a youngin'.
This song in particular reminds me of when I was living in NYC on $20 a week, and was hating the whole NYC experience.
A big factor in that was it snowed like a blizzard every week, and it was Arctic-like freezing.
Plus, I had really sloppy roommates in my dorm.
I really questioned my decision to go to NYU, and couldn't wait to get home.
All these years later, I look back now at that period with fondness because I had SO LITTLE responsibility back then.
No mortgage, no job....all I had to do was homework and study!
Good times.

Oooh. I really like this new feature.
One of my CC bands would be these guys. There was literally one summer my BFFs and I listened to their first CD over and over.
And over.
I already admitted to Roxette over at ZFS, but I'll add Mindless Self Indulgence and Juice Newton.
DON'T JUDGE ME!!!
Lioux - I've heard of them, but not their actual music.
HolyGirl - Juice Newton!? Ack.
Just don't call me angel, you know, of the morning angel.
I dare you to listen to "Play with the Queen of Hearts" and not snap your fingers. Seriously.
There's no way.
I loathe, loathe, loathe the Juice.
