I'm an upfront music whore so I readily admit whatever music I adore with very little shame but every once in awhile I find myself wincing at the latest song I'm obsessed with. There's a number latent music snobbery traits associated with me feeling this way which includes the usual "sell out" or "over commercialized" arguments in regards to the artist in question.
But really it comes down to the person being annoying to me and having an annoying fanbase. It's pretty much the same reason I dislike Yaoi with a passion even though I have no qualms about m/m sex and have watched way too much gay man porn than a lesbian really should.
That being said! My latest shameful music love comes from, my god I can't believe I'm typing this, Avril Lavigne. I love, love, love, love her new single Girlfriend. I shall link it now for download!
Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne
Why do I dislike Avril? Not precisely sure. Maybe it's the fact I was managing retail when she did that Tiffany call back Mall Tour and we had to shut down my mall so she could shop at Hot Topic without being disturbed. Maybe it's the fact I know for certain she shops at Hot Topic which is the height of punk poser mentality. Or maybe it's because she's yet another sad example of a lame Canadian musical influence on society. Whatever it is I don't much like her but I fucking adore this poppy little song of hers.
I associate to the fact it sounds suspiciously like a classic song from the 80's. What song? Hey Mickey by Toni Basil. Don't believe me? Just download and listen!

To truly understand I suggest putting them both one after another in iTunes or whatever music player you have on the computer and clicking quickly between the first five seconds of each song. Très soupçonneux! Sorry, getting a little French there but you get what I'm saying. And... gee, this was fun to babble about. Hrm. Maybe I should just do my podcasts like this, embedding individual songs and doing little editorials underneath rather than talking and posting one huge ass file. Not like it matters really. No one listens.
I'm sick of being a basement dweller and am more and more considering getting an apartment even though it will screw up my savings plan. I could move in with the girlfriend but I don't feel comfortable with that at all. I am somewhat heartened by my college debt being minimized to a measley 28,000. Wheeeeeeee!
Going to school is too hard with work and I've decided to stop when this semester is finished. I'm going to take local writing courses in St. Louis as well as some more online. Hopefully this will mean I'll get back rolling again in terms of writing fanfic and doing my recaps online.
Which only matters if people read them. Oh, how I hate people.
