the list continues!
Absolutely, totally not what I am in to at all, the kind of record I detest. Except, for some inexplicable reason, I love the damn thing. Maybe a "Records I should hate, but actually love..." thread is due?
I was trying to remember who did Informer! I really liked that Zoe song as well! And what about Jane Wiedlin 'Driving In The Rush Hour" and Ce Ce Peniston 'Finally'.
