No, I'm Never Gonna Dance Again!




Some dude just outside my office has been arguing loudly on the phone with his wife all morning, as always, for all of us to hear. He hung up & began listening to "Careless Whisper" immediately.
On Loud.
heh.
Wham's "Make it Big!" was my first cassette tape. My mom bought it for me while running errands at a Shell gas station. It provided a lifelike soundtrack for my crush on George Michael.
My other crush (my FIRST love) was on Barry Manilow, whom I was obsessed with.
Anyways, I see a connection here but I won't make it out loud. That's another story.

I pretty much only listen to sad bastard-hide-the-knives music for breakfast lunch and dinner, but I am fallin' in love with the new She& Him record a whole lot (Zooey D & M Ward). I want to sit under the shade of a giant green oak tree, wearin a dress and eating an ice cream cone when I listen to these songs.
It reminds me of Karen Carpeneter & Patsy Cline (minus the eating disorder and the bad luck). Listen Here:
SHE&HIM
Oh, I shoulda called this blog, Now & Then.
P.S. Diet Lemon Snapple fact of the day: Dragonflies have six legs but cannot walk.

i see the connection in the hairdo area, but also, and i know this is a reach(around), but one walks into walls and one into stalls, protrusion-first...
