Saturday afternoon at Emm's

Two college girls, home for Spring break.
Of course, everyone has to "shuffle" everyone else's iPod to see what
they might have that you want.
So, while it can be ridiculously quiet around here, especially when the boy kid is engrossed in Guild Wars and the 16 year old is caught in her social whirlwind, this scene is not atypical:

click please

(sure, I'm being completely self-indulgent, no argument.)

That's great emm

It looks a lot like what goes on at Casa Izz...although my participants are much shorter

OMFG! I recognise that horrible music from my student days! Was that Curved Air?

Turning Japanese, I believe...is The Vapors. Which is air-like in a way.

The psychologists call it the Zeigarnik effect, where you erase all the details associated with something unpleasant.

For a moment, though, I thought it was that tune by Focus. They played it on the radio a while back. I couldn't get to the off switch fast enough.

Were they dancing to Momma's old dance tunes, then?

I forced the older children to listen to Turning Japanese not too long ago. They were mortified, and couldn't believe that I'd ever listened to something so horrible. Then they turned on their music...I was mortified and couldn't believe they listened to something so horrible.

A bit of clarity:

For IB, Focus did Hocus Pocus: http://youtube.com/watch?v=7SJGDG5GZ2c

For Izz, Vapors doing Turning Japanese: http://youtube.com/watch?v=uS-TC0FILF4

Little available for Curved Air: http://youtube.com/watch?v=t3aSY0MNvTs& ... ed&search=

Thanks, Deej!

That's what it can get like here when my daughter that lives up in your neck of the woods gets back down here on rare occasions. She and I love to dance and act silly, and now we've got my grandaughter to join in too(her mom does not usually join in)

Not Turning Japanese, but I do remember dancing to Jesse's Girl, Stray Cat Strut, and Celebration by Kool and the Gang.

The funny thing is that nowadays, in addition to contemporary music, a lot of that old stuff gets revived and passed around by iPod and networks. In fact, at my girls' college, they upload their iPod collection onto the the school's shared library, and have access to an amazing array of music.

Nice little clip, no doubt.

Do they have any Dylan on their Ipods?

Tom Waits?

Mind ye, the Vapours brought back a few memories.

Slan,
D.
