A kung fu fighter in a disco

I think I fit almost exactly into the syndrome Tom was describing: I'm indescribably bored by that Rihanna slowie that's around at the moment, whereas I loved SOS. The same goes for most recent(ish) pop (with expections: 2 Become 1, Stay Another Day, & is Back For Good a ballad?) On the other hand, when it comes to George Jones, or Nick Cave, or James Carr, or even Yo La Tengo, I'm always figuring that the slow numbers are going to be the best. - MCarratala
