I know this is going to date me terribly, but I don’t care. Have you ever stumbled upon a song you haven’t heard in yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaars, only to discover that it’s still awesome and you must have it RIGHT NOW! Yeah, it just happened to me. Remember Faith No More? Oh come on, I know you do. They were big in the 90’s. Anyway, I, like many of my high school compatriots, still have my copy of Angel Dust, and probably play it more than is healthy even today. I never did pick up The Real Thing though, which was the other required Faith No More CD of my generation. So I’m playing around on iTunes today, trying to recapture some songs I lost when my PC died a year ago (yeah, I’m still trying to rebuild my music library. Curse you PC!!), when I come across an ad for the video for “Falling to Pieces.” Huh. Wait, do I remember that song? Sounds familiar. Then I play the preview, and OMG! YES YES YES! I remember that song! How could I possibly forget that amazing, kick ass bass? I absolutely remember dancing around my bedroom during my teen years, banging my head like an idiot to this song. So of course, I have to download it.
This goes along with my last post, btw, since I have been trying to explain to my students just how lucky they have it with iPods. The spoiled little turds will never know what it’s like to have a fat leather notebook of CDs riding shotgun in their car, and trying to find exactly the song you want to hear right then while speeding down I77 at 75 miles per hour. Once again, I have to confess that I am Apple’s bitch.
