... a tradition unlike any other... buying '80s CDs on discount from Target. :p So now I'm listening to Wang Chung's most famous song in which they sing their own name in the song.

I won't buy "live" Metallica or anything between the black album and the new album. So the only thing I'm missing is Kill 'Em All.Quote:

Makes my $4.39 deal seem like a ripoff now. :p Does yours have a "zany" retro flashback comment on the case? My most recent one has: "In the 80s they changed America's favorite cola recipe, but we've kept the original ingredients of all your favorite 80s hits on this disc." Totally awesome!Quote:

We learned:
Possum Kingdom - The Toadies (this is kinda creepy-"do you want to die" -is this some kind of serial killer song?)
Handle With Care - The Traveling Wilbury's (I call the guys "The Traveling Beer Bellies" lol they like their beer)
Next song is:
Very Best Years - The Grays (this one is tough) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtkgE4h_EKw
I discovered a new band yesterday called The Airborne Toxic Event, so I've been listening to a lot of their songs. Amazing band and the lead singer's voice reminds me a lot of Echo and the Bunnymen.
I also really like the song I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked by Ida Maria.
The Call of Ktulu, Metallica.
