so i got to thinking about
imperial bedroom
which i had never heard
and
i don't want you to think less of me
but
elvis costello
has never really been on my radar
but then i thought
ok
what is the first album you think of
after hearing that
and
i don't see any relation between them
but that's the one i thought of
rules are
has to be something that i listened to
over and over
intensely
not skipping any tracks
that i would still sit down and listen to
but then
of course i did sit down and listen to the whole thing
but then
i thought
that's not completely fair
what about the same year it came out
like, while you were loving that
this is what i was listening to
and
there were a couple
ok well
i was in high school
so there were several
but
one of the same year ones
i actually didn't discover for like ten years
so i don't know if that should count anyway
but as it turned out
i wouldn't sit and listen to that now
garlands by cocteau twins (too dark)
the waitresses wasn't tomorrow wonderful
which i didn't want to listen to
so i figured maybe it didn't really hold up
same thing with split enz time and tide
best little whorehouse in texas soundtrack
which i didn't want to count
but
i still find myself busting out hard candy christmas
miss mona's rules (which as i look back at it
was changed substantially for the movie
so it's actually the play version
which i saw years before)
(song starts at 5:35)
especially that one, actually
at random moments
like washing dishes or somethin
but it actually wouldn't count
because i would always have skipped most of that
but i'm mentioning it because of those two songs
indeligibly etched on my soul
[and i really am rethinking telling you about this
it seems bad now that i'm watching it]
there are other albums
that i liked or listened to
billy idol
human league
cat people soundtrack
but none of them fit the criteria
