Today In - 'Closet Case'

Olivia Newton John - 'Magic'

Ok, I'll come out of the closet and admit I like this song.

Sigh... and 'Xanadu' as well.

Today In - 'Closet Case'

Notorious J*O*E made me realize, I kind of like the Sugababes.

Ack.

Today In - 'Closet Case'

Today's musical coming out of the closet is Fergie's 'Big Girls Don't Cry'

I think I posted about it before but...

they wore me down.

I actually kind of like this song.

Ack!!

Kind of a catchy chorus that get's stuck in your head.

Today In - 'Closet Case'

Steely Dan - 'Peg'

I am outing myself, musically.

I like Steely Dan.

There, I said it.

It's not really my fault.

They used to play this song at Babalu, and it grew on me.

And then Jack FM had to go and play all their stuff on heavy rotation.

They wore me down.

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.
