Pardon me whilst I bore you with this very very very long post. :)
Madonna Maniac that I am, I pre-ordered her new CD, Hard Candy from Amazon.com. And naturally I went for the "Candy Box Special Edition". Unfortunately it's not yet arrived (I'm hoping for today).
I own all of her CDs save for the collections/compilations From those I just have the singles for each of the previously unreleased tracks (no need to pay for something I otherwise already owned).
Oh wait.. I do have You Can Dance (and come to think of it, it was the first CD I ever bought. I bought it the same day I got my first CD player back in 1987).
Anywho, I remember back in the day, before most people (save for those who went clubbing regularly or listened to "Urban Contemporary" radio) ever heard of her, I had her first LP (this was a few years before CDs mind you). Holiday still remains my fave track from it. It's a classic.
And amazingly she turns 50(!) this August. And she's till got it (imnsho).
So in her honor, I present my MP3 playlist from yesterday. :D

If you can spare 37 minutes, you have got to watch this most awesome video.
Barack Obama, who has impressed me from day one (and always has great speeches) made possibly the best speech of his career today.
It's been all over the news. If you've not seen it in it's entirety here's your chance. It's well worth the time.
Among other things, it answers the criticism he's gotten over stuff his Pastor has said recently and in the past (but that's only part of it).

I almost never watch them. I think the last time I saw them was whatever year OutKast was on performing Hey Ya!.
Most of the show generally bores me to tears. I love music, but the show still bores me. And of course there are the categories that I don't care about (e.g. Country).
On the other hand, every year I find out what I missed; and inevitably there were one or two performances I would have loved to have seen. One of theses days I'll get smart, record the show, wait a day or two till I hear what was good and then fast forward to those parts.
This time I wish I'd seen The Time with Rhianna. For those that saw the show, I'm actually more interested in the former than the latter (although I do like Rhianna). However, Jam and Lewis are musical geniuses. And Morris Day (and his "attitude") always cracked me up.
If The Time ever has (another?) a reunion tour, I'd be among the first to buy tickets.
It's funny, this post came about thanks to a blog entry I "stumbled upon". It's a (rather negative) review. It's too bad the writer can't spell "Grammys".
Technorati tags: The Time, Jimmy Jam. Terry Lewis, Grammys
Do you know anyone in the San Diego, California area with a room to rent? I've got a friend who is desperately in need of one (preferably dog friendly).
She her ad on Craigslist for specifics.
Thanks.
