I went out for a Christmas party... some time. Recently. Last week? Perhaps. The DJ asked me what he should play. I wasn't sure whether to be flattered or insulted. I spluttered out, 'You're the DJ. How should I know what you've got? Do your job.'

Ha! Caught again. I apologise. Due to my occasionally unfortunate tendencies to revel in popular culture when it manages to ping as monumentally gay, sometimes I can enjoy some truly awful pop.
Once I was walking home and cutting through the gayborhood. As I'm passing the leather bar, some gent is going inside. He opens the door: lights blaze out, angels sing, and Kelly Clarkson's Since U Been Gone fills the alleyway, the loudest thing I've ever heard. Leather daddy bears rocking out to Kelly Clarkson is unreasonably good. It was a religious experience.
Have you any guilty pleasure bands? Any bits of popular culture you stoop so far as to enjoy?
Oh, goodness. I'd have given him a list so specific he may as well have been in my employ. I dream of DJs who obey my commands.

I've never thought of Lily Allen as particularly gay. I can understand why Kylie Minogue marches at the head of a vast army of willing homosexuals, but Lily Allen??
Depends what you mean. I'll dance to anything with a beat, but that's not the same as enjoying pop culture. The reply is probably better suited to a conversation than a comment.
I could have done that, but I seriously doubt he would have had anything I may have asked for. At home I listen to proper music. I leave poptastic jigglebop to DJs, who presumably have some sort of hardwired immunity to it.

She is that. I'd always assumed it was her third nipple.
Nothing. My music is locked in my laptop and this temporary machine has had its speakers neutered. I was investigating Paula Cole, Helene Grimaud and Fleetwood Mac.
"Humans might actually be natural hibernators. There's a story of an 18 month old toddler who wandered away from home in -24 degree weather. She was found some time later, badly frostbitten, but in otherwise perfect health. Her body temperature had dropped about 50 degrees and her heartbeat slowed to 30 beats a minute. She made a full recovery. There's another story of a fellow who injured himself while hiking in the snowy mountains. He got under the snow cover and slept for 3 weeks until he was found."
Three weeks! As long as I could wear my bear hat, this sounds like a magnificent idea.

I would also like to hibernate.

It's a date, then.
What have you been listening to lately?

That's terrible. I'm so sorry.
