The last six albums I've imported into my computer have been from the following years: 1992, 1985, 2006, 1966, 1964 and 1964. The most recent one, from 2006, doesn't really count, though, because it's just some Weird Al. I'm trying to rationalize by telling myself that it's just that no music made today is as good as earlier stuff, but really, deep down, if I'm completely honest, it's really due to my own sudden Beatlemania. I rented and watched A Hard Day's Night, which was pretty silly, and then when I turned that one in I saw that Help! was back on the shelf, so I checked that out and proceeded to watch the entire movie 4 out of the 5 nights I had it rented for. I start almost every day by playing "Rain" on youtube while I get dressed. My roommate is I think starting to worry about my sanity. She came home one evening to find me sitting on the couch, watching one of the movies, stood in the door, and announced, "you know, this isn't going to help your obsession much," before passing through the room.
At this point I feel fine about my obsession. If it goes on strong for another 6 months, maybe I'll worry.

C'mon. Weird Al does too count. If it was "Straight Outta Lynwood" you imported, well, "Pancreas" will stand up very nicely as real music, if a very strange love song. :)

Um, we'd like you to come over this week for a little...get-together with some...friends of yours who care about you. Maybe we'll have some chocolate donuts.
