Feeling Icky - Must be the plague

Jan 12, 2006 23:11

After very little sleep I woke up to a body that felt like crap (my own.. not someone else's.) Stomach was heavy, back/shoulders/arms hurt. I think I'm officially falling apart. Either that or its the plague. Didn't go away today. Hasn't gone away tonight.
Since my overall feeling is dark and dreary, I figured sitting here surfing porn and listening to some old Industrial music would be quite fitting.

It must have been around '94 (about the time I moved to ATL) I was at Tower perusing the aisles of music when my eyes caught the U2 section. I'm not the biggest U2 fan but something didn't quite fit there. It was a tribute album - industrial/new wave style. I picked up We Will Follow - A Tribute to U2 and began to read the tracks.
1. With or Without You - Heaven 17 ..... I thought that could be cool and very gay.
2. One - Information Society ... I thought... that could be cool ... and very gay.
3. New Years Day - Front Line Assembly ...I thought HELL YES!!! I LOVE THEM.... **SSCCCRRREEECCCHHH** WITH WHO??? Tiffany??? Like THE Tiffany??? "and we tumble to the ground and then you say"??? Tiffany???
As if I had to look further for that CD buying decision. I HATED HER!!! So I just HAD to experience this fresh hell. All I could think on my way to the counter.. to the car.. tearing open... inserting the disc... was: If I were in Hellraiser... this would have to be my fate with which Pinhead would torture my soul for an eternity. No hooks tearing my flesh. No chains shoved through my stomach. Just Tiffany bastardizing a wonderful song performed by one of my favorite groups. An Eternity to know Tiffany.
Imagine my surprise.... the music was of course cool... and Tiffany was singing like an ethereal, dark angel of goth.
Yes... THAT Tiffany!!!

***PS Big thanks to atljimbear for my first ever (and very gay!!) animated icon. You're the best.
