Me Me Me Meme

With a mission from Drew, I hereby respond to the musical meme making the rounds of the blogging world. Judging from the other replies I've read, I'm reminded that music seems to be far less important to me than to other people. I feel like I'm in junior high...not knowing whether to admit to my real lowbrow tastes or to pretend to like something that's been deemed to be cooler. In eighth grade, I liked Paula Abdul, who was popular-ish, but not cool. And definitely not cool for a boy. Having revealed that, I guess I don't feel any need to prove that I'm a hipster. So judge me as you will.
