I want the CD "Discovery" by Daft Punk. Not sure why, I just do. Somehow this thought is reminding me of a period of my life I'd rather forget.

My friends know what I'm talking about. They went through the same stage.

What was it? Life as a Prozzak fan girl.

Yes, the artsy little progressive rock loving Teddog was a Prozzak fan. Scary. It actually did lead to a good turn in my life. I shall explain.

It was during grade 10 I first heard of Prozzak. I saw the video for Sucks To Be You and I blew my mind (I was only 14 or 15 years old!). It was the cure for all those boy band ballads that made me ill. So I got the CD. Yay for me. While I didn't listen to one or two songs for various reasons, like lyrics ("Let's play shag tag baby [Run around with nothing on]/ Let's play shag tag baby [We'll do it till the clouds are gone]" Ugh...), that CD got tons of play. Then one night I was riding the bus home from the downtown and this kid beside me started singing Strange Disease. That was the end of the honeymoon ladies and gentlemen.

I never really got into their second album, Saturday People. It was supposed to be "a musical account of their absurd social journey... a study, if you will, of the night" but it didn't quite fly with me. I might buy it one day, but not now.

And for the good turn, at Christmas a few months after the kid on the bus, I got a flat square package. A CD... called Turn It On Again... the greatest hits by Genesis. Mom said I'd probably like it, as I was raised on Phil Collins.

Let's compare my current ablum collections for the bands

The point of this story: I don't know. It just popped into my head.
