Then, upon hearing "Skank Bloc Bologna" for the first time, my head exploded. This was the same band? Upon further research, Gartside became one of my personal heroes for allowing me to re-examine and, hell, re-enjoy pop music again.

My boss, however, takes it 3 steps too far by relishing in Savage Garden.

Is this a side effect of Rhodri Marsden's viral video antics?

Is it sad that I use Conde Nast as justification of one of my first pop loves?

Perfect Way is just so brilliant that I still dance on the El when it comes on the iPod.

I'm hoping it'll be pop synthesizers rather than thoughtful guitar plonking, but either way, it should be interesting.

I woke up to the headline that Yahoo! was buying a company called Zimbra, and that immediately prompted me to put on Talking Heads.

(In exchange for Disco Inferno, wasn't it?)
