i love how my computer knows me better than a lot of real people...oh algorithms, i trust you with my life.
lia & trish both posted things on secrets and now i will reveal one of mine (not so secret, actually). i like--no, love, thrive--on power pop ballads.
and the cheesier/sappier the better. much to my dismay, this once ironic indulgence has now become the real mccoy. you can only listen to "i would do anything for love" and "total eclipse of the heart" so many times before getting sucked into the extravagance. this is the exact moment when i tried to convince people that these were really finely crafted pop songs and merited the same respect as, say, a john cage composition. funny how few people seemed to agree with me on that. this being said, tonight i used the "genius" function on my iTunes for the first time. and boy, what a treasure trove! and no, it does not trouble me in the slightest that i actually own all of the following songs:
i will always love you - whitney
it's all coming back to me now -celine
dreamlover - mariah
crazy for you - madonna
i wanna dance w/ somebody - whitney
underneath your clothes -shakira
you're the inspiration - chicago
they long to be close to you - carpenters
faith - george
i want to know what love is - foreginer
like i love you - justin
because you loved me - celine
the way you make me feel - EmJay
total eclipse of the heart - bonnie
let's hear it for the boys - deniece
jump! - pointer sisters
fast car -tracy
faithfully - journey
doo wop - lauryn
two out of three ain't bad - meatloaf
vogue - madonna
run to you - whitney
honey - mariah
lovefool - cardigans
i know, you are so jealous right now, especially of this move (it is an especially important one in power pop ballads):
and of this hair:
