A few more admissions for
A few more admissions for the music poll. The first is from David:
Here's my contribution to your CDs of shame thing: Home by Deep Blue Something. I had a brief, unhealthy appreciation for the song
"Breakfast at Tiffany's."
Also, because of a combination of my laziness and BMG Music Club's tendency to send you CDs you didn't want if you didn't reply to their monthly mailings, I was once the owner of Hanson's debut album. Thankfully, I've since pawned it off on a used CD store in exchange for "Paint the Sky with Stars - The Best of Enya."
I had a friend when I was growing up who bought every CD by a one-hit wonder band. He had the Tag Team album (featuring about 10 remixes of "Whoomp! There it is!") as well as the album by the band that does the Friends theme song. He also had the Deep Blue Something CD, so I've heard that whole album quite a few times unfortunately. As for your Hanson for Enya trade, the jury's still out on who got the better deal there...
And Full Professor Ron Cytron also is getting in on the act:
Let me see.... I have two Abba CDs which I bought off the net after seeing Mama Mia. I didn't like Abba's music so much when it came out, but something in the musical (that I didn't want to see) made me want to buy the original stuff to see if I missed anything in it. I didn't.
I have a Dr. Dimento album that has Fishheads, Cemetery Girls, and Something's in the Bag .. it's a neat CD and maybe I shouldn't be so embarassed about it.
I have also been collecting choral performances of Heinrich Schuetz's Psalm 98 (set for two 4-part antiphonal choirs). One of them is
a really, really bad recording I picked up in Germany. I can't play it but my collection's incomplete without it. Embarassing that I want
to collect that particular piece's performances; embarassing that I can't let go of a really really bad recording.
In Haiku:
CDs overflow
from my shelf. I can't find what
I want anymore.
Yes Ron, collecting many performances of the same song is just plain weird...says Chris, who has probably around 200 lCounty, Georgia:
i have (or had, i dont know if it's still around) Meatloaf's "Bat Out of Hell II"...
Ouch! "I would do anything for love...but I won't....doooooo.....thaaaaaaaat". Downright scary. But not as scary as the following admission from Christie:
I tried my best to make this into haiku, but I'm about to admit that I own a Backstreet Boys cd and haiku didn't leave me sufficient room to explain myself. Clearly I didn't buy the cd because the BSB are big tools and whatnot, but my friend Tiffany thought it would be really funny to buy the cd for my birthday. So technically "I want it that way" may have been one of my guilty pleasures, but I would never buy it. Seriously. That doesn't explain why I still own it, unfortunately....
I will pick up the slack and haiku for her:
"I want it that way",
Gift from a friend? Don't believe
her for a minute.
Keep them coming folks. And Happy Thanksgiving and such to all you readers in the U.S. of A.
