You have wonderful taste in music Jody. Isn't it amazing how you can relive the past 20 years just by the music alone? Everything instantly comes back.
I almost had a heartattack when I realized that 20 years ago meant 1985!!!! Where has the time gone?
You have turned me on to such good music; if I could, I'd just lay down for a year with the headphones on and an i.v. drip and listen to all these albums. I understand they're each of a special time for you, but you do have good taste.
I want to share some of mine (and hear yours, too, Chelly!) but I'm just so bad with names. Just a second ... oh, man, I just checked the CD thing for the Johnny Clegg and Savuka album from '88/'89 that saved my life and got me away from husband #1 and it's missing and if it's gone the way of my Michelle Shocked album, that is just the last straw. I think it's Third World Child, anyway, my "most pivotal album of 1991". Absolutely.
Can I write back later?
You've turned me on to lots of great stuff too.
Where would I be with Hedwig?
You can write more at anytime darling.
i can't believe how many of my favorite albums are on that list, but some of them i just haven't thought of in so long.
thanks for doing all that work! i'm going to go make my summer mix tapes now ha ha
