Tapes'n Tapes'n Tapes'n Tapes...

Sometimes I find a song that I love intensely for months straight. Not in a dissimilar fashion to the way that I crush on boys. The process goes a little something like this: hear it/see him, interest peaks, notice every detail, love it, can't get enough of it, with me at all times, then lastly another new song/boy enters and the process is repeated. It's a viscious cycle. However, it's important to note that I never discard! When I like something, I like it forever -- I'm classic in that respect, or I just have timeless taste.

I can remember some of the earlier songs I was intensely addicted to:
- Rocky Soundtrack: "Gonna Fly Now" (I wore this record OUT dancin' to it on my yellow record player. And let me just say that "Philadelphia Morning" is still da bomb, folks)
- C + C Music Factory: "Gonna Make You Sweat/Everybody Dance Now" (this was the first tape I ever bought)
- Siouxsie and the Banshees: "Peek-A-Boo"
- L.L. Cool J: "Momma Said Knock You Out"
- Abba: "Dancing Queen"
- U2: "All I Want Is You" ("Rattle and Hum" was the first CD I ever bought -- like I said people, I don't waste my money, hearing, or kisses)
- Nirvana: "Where Did You Sleep Last Night"
- Silverchair: "Tomorrow"
- Blur: "Song 2"
- Elastica: "Connection"
- Pink Floyd: The entire album "Dark Side of The Moon"
- Debussy: "Suite Bergamasque: Claire de lune"
- Led Zepplin: "Hey, Hey, What Can I Do"
- The Strokes: My favorite off the new album is "Ize of the World" (okay and "You Only Live Once")
- Vince Guaraldi Trio: "Christmas Time Is Here"

While I still love "Promiscuous Boy," by good ole Nelly, I can't get enough of the Tapes'n Tapes song "50s Parking." I just can't sit still when I listen to it and I always smile when I hear it. I like to imagine he's singing it to me or that I'm singing it to someone else.

I love the way he sings this line:
I'll put my hazards on, it's done quite easily...

But especially these ones:
Long, cold walks,
Don't compare to bare,
In parking lots,
At night.
Well we watched the moon in true,
On the moves too bold for noon.
I think I'm making my move.
I think I'm making my move.

I think I'm making my move on Tapes 'n Tapes! There's nothing sweeter than cute boys in a band -- gets me every time. Silly Tapes'n Tapes. They just wouldn't be the same if they were CDs 'n CDs or MP3s 'n MP3s, now would they? Seriously, this song should be on your next make-out compilation.
