Of course as a true child growing up in the 80s and 90s I owned multiple New Kids on the Block albums, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson. I actually even owned “the Joshua Tree” by U2. It was given to me by mom for Christmas, she had asked the store clerk about which was the ‘coolest’ tape on the shelf, I don’t remember ever listening to it then, and it would years before I ever appreciated everything that is U2.

But before the New Kids albums, or even the Joshua Tree, there was WHAM! Wham’s album “Make it Big” was the very first album I was ever given. Wake me Up, before you go-go was my childhood anthem. I played that tape until the actual tape inside the casette stretched and couldn’t be played anymore. I knew every word to every song.

I re-purchased the tape from Play it Again Sam’s in Milton when I turned 17 and got my first car so I had it when I was cruising. I bought the CD used on Ebay a few years after that, and recently I downloaded the Wham anthology from a torrent site.

Why?

I simply can’t explain the joyful and giddy feelings and the beautiful memories that silly and cheesy music makes me feel.

At least Wham isn’t as bad as the first tape I ever bought myself. . . . .that would be Milli Vanilli! Yikes!

I love Alanis, and this parody makes me love her even more. Brilliant, I’m now even more convinced she is God. I’m off to watch Dogma.

The Monday Melee (April 2 2007) CONGRATULATIONS IAN / BILLY TALENT

2 04 2007

A Fracas Project! You’re invited to participate. Get details and see the participant list here.

————————————————————–

The Monday Melee Questions:

1. The Misanthtropic: Name something (about humanity) you absolutely hate.

People who insist on solving problems with medication, rather than communication. I don’t not believe in mental illness, but I wonder how much could be fixed, solved or at least put under control if we took the time to really talk and commincate to one another.

————————————————–
2. The Meretricious: Expose something or someone that’s phony, fraudulent or bogus.

I hate hate hate scare tactic & false info email forwards - I received the same one (again) like 4 times over the weekend about being able to unlock your car door via a spare remote at your home if you can call someone at the home on your cell phone.

————————————————–
3. The Malcontent: Name something you’re unhappy with.

How messy my house is right now. I’ve been a meal-lean-sewing machine and I’ve made a mess. . . .its far more fun to make the mess than clean it up.

————————————————–

4. The Meritorious: Give someone credit for something and name it if you can.

A HUGE congratulations to Ian D’Sa & Billy Talent for winning two Juno Awards, Canada’s Top Music Awards. They won one for Group of the Year, and the other for Best Rock Album. I wrote about Ian and Billy Talent earlier in the year here when we went to see them in concert in February.

————————————————–

5. The Mirror: See something good about yourself and name it.

I’m good with my customers. I can make a no sound like a yes. I get alot of positive feedback from customers. People like to deal with me.

————————————————–

6. The Make-Believe: Name something you wish for.

A bigger bed. I want a California King. Marty, Minou and Manny take up more room on the bed then they used to, and Colin is a bit of a lump too!
