club 7, not seals.

I like to listen to music a lot.
I mean, I'm not one of those scene kids who listens to it "23.5 hours/7 days a week, but I listen to it an awful lot.

I listen to the radio/cd's in my car.
Yesterday, on my way to work, it was an 80's CD. Afterall, there's nothing like "Eye of the Tiger" playing at 5:30 AM to wake you up.
I listen to the radio at work as well.
It's basically culture shock to walk to the dining room and hear country and then go back to the kitchen and listen to the complete opposite.

I even listen while I blog.
What is playing now, you ask?
Why, it's "Cath...".
I'm excited because it's off of DCFC's release Narrow Stairs.
I am picking my copy up tomorrow, and you should too.

Anyways, I wanted to talk about this obsession I had for quite a few years with one particular "band". Haha.
It really, truly was an obsession.
S Club 7 was a band produced by Simon Fuller, who FYI managed the Spice Girls and created American Idol. I'm fully serious, but do not confuse him with Simon Cowell. They are completely different.
Moving on.. this obsession went so far.
I learned all of their pop songs, dance routines, and watched their television series religiously. I taped quite a few as well.
I had pen pals in England with this obsession too (S Club 7 was British).
I had all of their CD's and it was all I cared about.
I even bought a special DVD player to play the PAL system DVD'S.
When they split up, I bawled and bawled. It was horrible.

Why am I telling you this? Because out of all the times I felt ridiculous, this was one time in my life where I was truly pathetic. Haha.

Curious as to who they are, here's just one of many of their songs.
This happens to be one of my favorites although this one was from when Paul (one of the members) left the group.
Oh, and yes, I know the dance. =)


oh and this one I like as well, with all seven members.. but I just like the dance from 2:25-3:30. lol.


but I guess they are best known in the U.S. for this one.
and okay, from how this sounds, I guess I still like them a smidge.
Never Had a Dream Come True:



okay, i'm done.
I don't know why, but I really wanted to share this. :)
