I Must Confess...

The Days of Finals are Nigh! And, true to procrastinating fashion, I am attempting to cram a whole semester's worth of work into one week. Curse my rock and roll lifestyle!

So tonight, in an effort to avoid studying yet still remain productive, I reorganized my CD's so that they are all organized by genre and alphabetized by Artist's last name. [Yes, I too, have the capacity for far-reaching anal retentativeness] As I was going through my CD's, I realized that I own several that would be classified as somewhat embarrassing. In case I get hit by a truck sometime in the near future, I have decided to personally disclose said embarrassing CD's, just so that you have an explanation, rather than believe I am either crazy or totally lacking in musical taste.

Meredith's List of Embarrassing CD's:

Cherry Poppin’ Daddies Zoot Suit Riot- Purchased during the swing music revival of the late 1990’s. A decent CD, despite the vulgar band name.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Album- This is the CD that is the soundtrack to the television show of which I was a loyal, diehard fan of. On the surface, it seems nerdy to own such a CD, but it has a nice collection of dark pop and Goth music.

Soundtrack, Fiddler on the Roof- It’s my favorite musical, so fuck off! “Sunrise, Sunset…”

Weird Al Yankovic Dare to be Stupid and Poodle Hat- Yes, I am girl who owns 2 Weird Al CD’s. I’ve even seen him in concert (and it was a freakin’ sweet show!) I am a nerd. I am the queen of nerds!

Kenny G At Last: the Duets Album- Ok, I used to work at a music store, and this one was a promo. I actually kind of like it…

Josh Groban- I have a confession: I, the quintessential music snob like Josh Groban. Nay, I LOVE Josh Groban! I own two of his CD’s and listening to him sing is the ultimate guilty pleasure.

And Last, but Not Least….

Backstreet Boys Millennium- I offer no explanation. But, to my defense, I bought it used, so the Backstreet Boys did not collect any royalties from me.


So there ya have it. Don’t judge me, because I know that you have Ace of Base The Sign hidden in the bottom of you sock drawer!

Ham on, ham on, ham on whole wheat, all right
