Sean Enters 21st Century, Buys Music
Just got a DSL line into the Daly manse which means the iTunes are downloading fast and furious now.
Like any good pop critic, I've abandoned the family and spent Kid Lulu's college tuition on music.
Here's a quick list of my most recent digital purchases:
Hips Don't Lie -- Shakira w/Wyclef Jean
Pink Panther -- Freak Nasty (the STREET version, which is just plain filthy. I love it.)
The Pink Panther Theme -- Hollywood Studio Orchestra (this is the version Drew, Lucy and Cameron pussycat-dance to in Charlie's Angels: Full Throtttle)
There You Go -- Pink
Thong Song -- Sisqo (there's a Tijuana story involved)
In Too Deep -- Sum 41 (saw American Pie 2 the other night)
I Missed Again -- Phil Collins
Goodbye-Goodbye -- Oingo Boingo (1988 Boingo Alive version)
Ain't No Other Man -- Christina Aguilera
Banned in the U.S.A. -- 2 Live Crew
SOS -- Rihanna
Heaven Can Wait -- Dave Grusin
Main Titles from Superman Returns -- John Ottman
Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
Daly,Unless you have these on CD you have to get The GAP Band - You Dropped a Bomb on Me, Bow Wow Wow - I Want Candy, and a few other 80's essentials.

I should hope there's a "tijuana story" justifying your Thong Song selection.

There is indeed a Tijuana tale, Skeptical P-Train, but due to the passage of time, this story of love among the lightbulbs (oh yeah, it's weird) and con-artist cabdrivers is best banished forever and ever.

You've got to hunt down the Hindu Love Gods cover of "raspberry beret." Warren Zevon's husky voice doing a prince song is fantastic.

Wait a minute! Are you saying you didn't have any kind of high speed internet before now? How did you live? The internet is where I find most of my weird and out-there music. Careful, that itunes bill starts adding up fast.

SD - Banished forever and ever until next time I see you. And I won't forget.Question though...if the story is banished forever, then why conjure up the memories by listening to the "Thong Song"?If you want a better song to remember Tijuana by, try "Road to Ensenada" by Lyle Lovett. KJW turned me on to that one.
