mid-90s dance explosion
there's a mid-90s dance explosion on my dining room table. and boy is it ughly. ('h' for extra 'ugh' factor.)
my god, my musical taste was eclectic at best back then. understand, i was also helping dj at some campus clubs, so i legitimately "needed" this stuff "for work". you should be able to see the quote fingers i'm making. as well as the big 'L' I'm holding up to my forehead.
observations after i start ripping...
my god... the memories come flooding back.
jellyhead? the song made it to columbus via austin via an ex of my best friend named boyd.
backstreet boys before any of their songs were released here stateside...
THANK GOD I had my Cure collection to balance it all out.

Yes, but is it worth the 3-D loser symbol?
Our daughter was named for a cure song. how sad is that?

Your daughter's name is Meathook?

ummm close. we were considering that, but at the last minute, changed our minds...
instead, we've doomed her to getting "Letters to Elise" on every mix tape she ever gets...

That's awesome, and better than being named after a comic book hero... (my old roommate Ryan's middle name was Thor, because his dad was into the comic.)
And now I have that song stuck in my head. At least now it's the Cure and not 20 Fingers that I have on mental repeat. "Don't want no short ____ man" is not something you wanna be singing around the office.
like throwing arms round yesterday
I am most definitely digging that album out next.

Thanks to you (and Kodak's new commercial) I now have the Cure's Pictures of You floating around in my head.
But do you think it wise of Kodak to use this song? "Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart my pictures of you"
Breaking apart my pictures of you???

Wow. Havent seen that commercial yet. I'm sure they don't use that line, do they? "Remembering you standing quiet in the rain..." I can imagine them using that.
Damn, what a great song. Time to put Disintegration on.

I was depressed when I heard that song on the commercial. I'm almost imagining wobert smif with a nice polo shirt on, hair in some sort of a stylish clean haircut, and a more complimentary shade of eyeliner.
