I should probably be embarrassed but I actually am not. I love Marit Larsen’s new single, Don’t save me. It doesn’t sound M2M-ish at all, plus maybe I’d count it as poppier Mazzy Star or maybe not Mazzy Star, but something that’s Sixpence non the richer-ish. I love pop! Wow. Well, I guess what sets her apart is the fact that she doesn’t sound like her former counterpart, that Marion somene, who I by the way think is a ditz.

So I guess this is high time to make some confessions about some other things I like that a lot of people might find surprising. For example, I happen to like Hanson, that even Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins/Zwan would agree with me. I love Nelly Furtado because she’s lovely especially in her commercially “discreet” 2nd album Folklore wherein most of the songs sounded Folk-ish. Kudos to her single Força which some of you might want to check out if you’re a Belle and Sebastian fan. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Janet Jackson. Surprise much? I used to imagine myself being able to wear what she wore in the music videos of Together again, Deep and Someone to call my lover (You may notice that for this last bit she borrowed the riff from one of the songs of Counting Crows, I forgot which one though). Which reminds me, she’s a genius otherwise she wouldn’t be the top selling female artist in terms of album sales.

Here’s the clincher: I adore Benny Benassi and I don’t know why. He’s house and his music sounds absolutely gay but I get a kick out of it. His music is what I would call m “MRT Music”, y’know just to keep me awake and pumping in my head while I watch out for pickpockets and pervs. I think he’s playing in Manila this December, for Big Phish. Ticket’s 800? Hmm… Man, too bad I’ll miss that. Staying here in Davao to spend a quiet new year, maybe. Or maybe Cagayan. (Sigh.) Let me tell you, when you’re mom’s not around and nobody can cook as great as she can, you’re Christmas options are kind of glum. Any suggestions?
