Michele has hers here, Matthew Stinson has done it too. What a way to wind down for the New Year, no?
I’m not ashamed of admitting I listen to:

- Never Surrender by Corey Hart
- A Whiter Shade of Pale by Sarah Brightman
- Because The Night by 10,000 Maniacs
- Smooth Operator by Sade
- She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5
Places I go to in order to treat myself (I am SO coming off as cheap with this one):
- IKEA’s Cafeteria
- Ruby Tuesday’s
- The Auntie Anne’s lemonade stand at the Inner Harbor, Baltimore, MD
- Any restaurant along the boardwalk of Ocean City, MD. Once a year.
- The local Friendly’s.
Games I obsessively play over and over:
- Final Fantasy VII
- Diablo II
- Final Fantasy IX (not yet, but I know I’ll play this again and again)
- Warcraft Three campaigns
- Starcraft: Brood War
More later.

“A Whiter Shade of Pale by Sarah Brightman”
The original is bad enough, but Brightman somehow sucks even more life out of it. Oh, well. To each his own.

Shack, I have never encountered a song that has caused as much consternation among artsy types who search for meaning in everything as A Whiter Shade Of Pale has. On that alone, the song gets my respect.
Brightman’s version sure is a step ahead of Lennox’s; that of Willie Nelson I do not respect because of the change in lyrics. I have yet to get my hands on the original recording by Procul Harum.

I’m far from being an artsy-type. Heck, you might be one of the few webloggers who like Def Leppard more than me. But the original “Whiter Shade of Pale” just drones on. It’s headbanging (on a table, that is) painful for me to listen to.
