Random Musical Musings (plus Kelly Clarkson ticket info)

I recently read that Andrea Corr got engaged. Because I'm sure that will help The Corrs make a new album. I was listening to The Corrs today---it's my March/St. Patrick's Day tradition---and I realized that I hate some of their songs. I've never experienced this with Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Indigo Girls, etc. I mean, "Afterglow" didn't change my life or anything, but I can still listen to it.

This evening, I managed to stumble upon the Corrs Online messageboard. After blinking several times to convince myself that it still exists, I found a thread about everyone's least favorite Corrs songs. "Time Enough for Tears" seems to be the winner, if you can call it that. And it really does deserve the honor, since it's quite possibly the worst song ever recorded. "Lifting Me," which I think I may have heard once, also appeared on several lists.

I actually like "Home." Imagine that. An album, by an Irish band, that actually sounds Irish. After making two trash albums that caused the near destruction of their career, they finally realized what type of music they should have been making. Sometimes, I wish that 2004 never existed. Sure, the Olympics were great and the Storm won the WNBA championship, but it also gave us "Borrowed Heaven." And I would be remiss if I didn't mention Andrea Corr's solo album, which I special ordered for $30 and maybe listened to once.

But moving on to musicians who didn't peak a decade ago.....

I managed to score 5th row, center stage tickets to the Kelly Clarkson concert.

And I'll be sitting in the 6th row for LeAnn Rimes and the 9th row for Little Big Town.

I have had the song "Stand and Deliver" (Amy Ray) in my head all day. I'm not sure why, other than the fact that I probably listened to it yesterday while I was looking at websites.

I ordered a Buffy car decal from Amazon. I'm such a loser.
