So, once the clock strikes, the ball drops, and the strains of Auld Lang Syne have rung in the new year, what song will you be listening to? Personally, I’ll be going for a little bit of Bowie. either Life on Mars or Space Oddity. there is something very nostalgic about these songs, as well as something very forward looking as well… Granted, I’ll probably be singing these songs in a drunken stupor, but these are the songs I will want to hear. How about you? ---

If this New Year is anything like the last, my friends and I will be listening to the theme of Good Will Humping. (I know… Shamelessly stolen from Friends, but I couldn’t think of another porn title.) ---

I dunno, but I hope it’s something cheesy & happy (pref. 80s) that everybody in the room can sing and dance to. ---

If things go well, I’ll be in Madison Square Garden listening to Marc Anthony. ---

If this year is like past years, we’ll sleep thru the whole thing. New Year’s Eve is no biggie in my book… ---

I’ll be home in MA and my parents are having a new year’s eve party. So I’ll be listening to something godawful, I’m sure. ---

Twisty, sorry to be a moloster… So, will I get a tape of your Christmas radio show? I’ll put it in the stereo at my parents’ party. :eek: 😉
