New (old) obsession, new list of favourites.

But first, I'd like to take a moment to get something off of my chest. An apology, because I have been a terrible, terrible fan. Not that they made it easy on me, but still. A few days ago, as I was trying to go to their myspace via my own, I realised I had removed them from my top friends. I then saw I had also removed Brian Molko from my heroes even though this man was my idol throughout high school and thus has influenced me in numerous ways. So I…

… like I have to write down some thoughts on Hanson. Seeing as I lost any credibility music wise anyway, haha. Anyway I thought I had ditched this band forever but as my pop phase has come to an end I find myself still listening to them.

Well, I cannot stand any Hanson song where Isaac sings because well… man's a fool, really. Haha. I don't like his voice. I don't like him at all. Stick to the guitar, Isaac, really. I sometimes wonder how big Hanson could be if they just ditched Isaac and went on…

I do enjoy…

Wahey.

… should STAY AWAY from me for a few weeks for I feel a new obsession coming up and it's not pretty. You may have seen it coming, popping up every now and then…
It's summer and I realised it's been ages since I listened to… pure, pure pop. Unfortunately, that is exactly what my guilty pleasure is all about. Oh yeah, I'm going hardcore.
Anyway, over the years my sister and I (she shares this love) have gotten ourselves quite a collection of pop records. If you are allergic to this sort of genre, I suggest you now SHIELD…

my new obsession.

I must admit I never thought this would be the band that manages to distract me from The Cure. Though I did listen to Seventeen Seconds today, because I can't go thàt long without Robert's voice.

Anyway, the new obsession.
Probably going to stay for a long time as well.
How could I forget how great they actually are?
What a live band, good grief. Their albums are good and all that, but their energy when you see them play is phenomenal. I miss them, so I've watched their Rock am Ring set five times since yesterday.…
