I remain ambivalent about peer-to-peer file trading. Still, this weekend I downloaded a number of songs, mostly hits music from the late 1980s and early 1990s.

This was a time at which I had largely shut hits music out of my life altogether, other than what crept in via cable television, radios I didn't tune, and--of course--the ironic pursuit of kitsch, so fashionable in those days before the terrorists won. Or lost. Or whatever they did.

Here's my booty. Most of them I dimly remember. Some I remember actively loathing at the time they were on the charts (viz., Gerardo's "Rico Suave"). Now I find all of them tolerable, some of them even amazing. An example of the latter is "Nite And Day" by Al B. Sure! (his exclamation point, not mine). A great song.

As I often say in this blog, you probably hadda be there. All this activity demonstrates yet again how aggressively pedestrian my tastes can be.
