Obsession……It’s not just a perfume for peep show strippers anymore.
Current Obsession: The Who’s “Tommy”
Yeah I’m not really sure why either. All I can say is that it had intrigued me for quite a while so a few weeks ago I finally got around to downloading it. Unfortunately the file I downloaded wasn’t the best quality and consequently whole sections were rendered unlistenable. This past week I broke down and spent money to buy the cd. (Ok, I really didn’t spend money – I used a gift certificate. Same principal though.) So I give it a listen and for whatever reason I really like it. Almost love it. Almost, not quite. I think it’s the acoustic guitar. These days we don’t get much acoustic guitar in rock music. Folk music and emo sing-songwriters sure, but not so much the rock. But it could just be a phase I’m going through. A few years back I went through a “Law and Order” period in which I watched at least 2 episodes a day for at least two months. Now, however, I don’t go near the show, or any of its spin-offs. Then there was that time I couldn’t stop listening to the same 4 songs from the Dandy Warhols’ second album. And there was that one summer when I had to have vanilla ice cream every day at exactly 1 o’clock because I was positive that I was being stalked by a murderer who was trying to kill me at 1 o’clock every day to fulfill some sort of prophesy where if he killed me at 1 o’clock then he would become king of Hersandia but I knew he was scared of vanilla ice cream so I ate vanilla ice cream every day at 1 o’clock.
I did a lot of crack that summer.
Remember kids, crack is whack!
