There is a Take That song in my MP3 collection. ---

I couldn’t stand the movie _Fargo_. I just thought it really sucked. I kept waiting for it to get better, but it didn’t. I also have never seen any of the Godfather or Rocky movies. I actually like the first three songs on my kids _Bob the Builder_ CD. I’ll hide one bit of goody/snack from my family, so that there will be some left when I get home from work. ---

I watched a three-hour marathon of “High School Reunion” last night and was disappointed when the news came on at 10 p.m. And as if that’s not bad enough, I really liked it and now I’m trying to figure out if I should tape High School Reunion or Alias on Sunday nights. ---

Not only do I like Justin Timberlake’s new song, Cry me a River, but I also listen to Britney Spears (everyone that knows me refuses to believe this), and regularly jam out in my car to all the top 40 hits, including the rappy and R&B ones, and the dance pop tunes, and I like Eminem. I got caught bopping around to Shakira one time by a truckload of immigrant-type workers that I didn’t notice a couple lanes over. Sometimes I like to try to dance like they do on MTV. I found Malcom McDowell insanely sexy in A Clockwork Orange. I also lust for Gene Wilder from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Frodo from LotR (you can forget the elf-boy, blargh). I wanted Tolouse from Moulin Rouge until I found out John Leguizano (sp?) is not actually 4 feet tall. There is a picture I drew of a video game character that I’m desperately infatuated with hanging over my headboard. ---

I _don’t_ like Justin Timberlake, Barry Manilow, A-ha, or Wham. But I _do_ like ABBA, the Monkees, and Neil Diamond. Further I own the 4-CD The Disco Box from Rhino Records ( as well as their the Nuggets and 70’s Soul collections, which unlike the disco collection, I don’t try to hide under a pile of papers when they’re in my car 😃 ) and _this very evening_ was listening to “Dancing Machine” by the Jackson 5 on the way to work. However I also listed to “Loveless Love” by the more respectably hip The Feelies, which helped to counteract the furtive sense of shame :p. - Tamerlane ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by CBCD \* > \*\*I have a CD of Lita Ford’s Greatest Hits. Kiss Me Deadly is my favorite song on it. \*\* Tis ok I forgive you, I own it too. And I still sometimes listen to it. I on the other had own a PS1, not that bad, but I still play PGA Tour 98 on it. That’s about the only thing I do play. ---

I have to have my daily dose of Neighbours, and I enjoy the storylines. I like the S Club Juniors. I also do neopets. YMCA is the only song that gets me dancing. and… I quit university because I was too shy and homesick. _sigh_ ---

I have a harmless, unexplained, creepy-but-in-no-way-pedophilic-crush on Amanda from the Amanda show. I am addicted to the E!True Hollywood Story ---

I like “The Gilmore Girls” I also like “Sabrina” I **deplore** Will and Grace - [sub]see, I’m gay, so that means I’m supposed to think Will and Grace if faaaaaaaaabulous[/sub] I have a huge collection of 70’s disco on cd. I love to sing along with them. I do it at home and in my car. Other people have even seen me do this. I watch “The Powerpuff Girls” everyday. ---

I’m a bad naughty little thread-bumper. The reason I searched for this to bump it with my M&P admission of shame is as follows: When this thread was started I was feeling exceptionally self-assured in my tastes (read: up myself). I thought “Well, if I like it, it’s because I like it and I can’t possibly have doubts or feel shame about anything I like.” But right now, I’m listening to Tarkan’s album. Yes, Tarkan, Turkish prince of pop, the one who did the original Kiss Kiss song. And yes, it _does_ dent my avant-rock cred. ---

Heh. Tarkan rules. I first heard him being played bya cute goth girl working behind the counter of a head shop - I figure that absolves me of being unhip for listening to the Turkish equivalent of Justin Timberlake :D. - Tamerlane ---
