colds and singing kids
two points of “interest”:
1. i’ve eaten approximately 900 clementines in the past month, and i now have a cold. i’m thinking my body decided to relax ’cause of all the vitamin c that it’s not used to, and wham. a faucety nose IS hot though.
2. finally, k-tel has resurrected the minipops franchise! i’m unclear as to why they changed their name slightly (perhaps so as not to create confusing with that short-lived quebec band i saw open for thrush hermit once? right.) regardless, i’m very excited about this. i suspect that i may be one of the few who can sing the original minipops theme. i’m also VERY happy that they included let’s get it started.
Holy FUCK!
The Mini-Pops tapes we used to get free from gas stations when I was a kid got. me. into. music.
“Our House” and “Eye of the Tiger” in particular were key to my development.

This is bullshit.
Go to hell, K-Tel!
