As in: In the Stereo

• Deep Blue Something, Home
  One of Jenny's CDs I've never listened to.
• Sublime, Sublime
  I'm always struck by the irony of this band. Their first big single is about living life to the fullest because you never know how much time you've got left. Days before the album released, the lead singer overdosed.
• Ministry, The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste
  How many of you knew I owned Ministry albums? Three of 'em.

I haven't listened to the Deep Blue Something album before, but after watching VH1s Awesomely Bad Videos, I wanted to. You see, I'm one of the few who enjoys the DBS single "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Apparently the people at VH1 do not. All the color-commentary folk were grousing about the chorus being boring:

And I said, "What about Breakfast at Tiffany's?"
She said, "I think I remember the film. Yes, I think I recall we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well that's one thing we got."

Those aren't boring lyrics! It's pretty nifty. These people want to be together but can't find any reason to be, yet they're doing it anyway. So they latch on to this minor similarity between them to justify an otherwise unjustifiable union.

ASIDE: as I listen to the first few songs of the album, I realize that they sound very much like Better than Ezra. In fact, I don't know that I could pick one from the other in a Pepsi Challenge (unless the challenge was a song I knew).
