    I *loathed* Bing for years (he creeped me out), now I can tolerate him in very small doses. Still, not a favourite. Al Bowlly, Dick Powell, Boswell Sisters , Lucille Bogan (she has *other* songs..lol), Glen Gray Orchestra, Russ Carlson, Chick Bullock, anything by Ambrose, Billy Murray, all the...

    The smell of Comet makes me think of Saturday morning cartoons.

    I love the smell of the seaside and the smell of marshes. NOTHING smells better to me. Smelling that while driving to Ocean City with 80s club music on the radio -- yea....I'm 13 again. :D

    What do they want? What did they want in the Golden era?

    Is It More Difficult For You to Dress "Vintage" in the Summertime?

    Wearing dresses with ankle socks and flats is more practical for summer wear than winter wear. However, trying to do a vintage woman's hairdo in 102 degree heat and high humidity and it will be poker straight before I even get to where I am going. So in the summer I don't even bother doing my...

    Smell is the sense most closely related to memory -- hence why smells evoke emotional responses in us more than things we see, hear, or feel. Our sense of smell is also instant and does not have to go through the same brain filters as our other senses. /psychologist. Smells absolutely take...

    Transvision Vamp are great! Pretty much anything and everything I listened to in the 80s, good or "bad", still warms my heart and I still love it. I still love New Kids On The Block, too. Music is more personal to me than aesthetic (if that makes sense). I consider most popular music made...

    I'll be the first to admit I have terrible taste in music. lol I even like that NIN song you quoted!! My husband is constantly asking why and how he ever married me (jokingly, of course...haha). Just....my taste is so bad I can't even take it seriously myself. Unironically, of course.

    YES!! People say the same about me. "Oh, I thought you only liked Bing Crosby!" NOPE. Secret: I'm not even a big Bing fan. More into Al Bowlly (whom they've never heard of <-----keeping on the hipster topic lol)

    "Unhappy Hipsters" Blog

    Exactly. There are very few genres of music I can't get into. I admit I'm mostly a popular music junkie. This includes all popular music from Will F. Denney, Billy Murray, and Al Bowlly to Lady Gaga. And just about everything in between. Genres mean nothing to me anymore. Although I will...

    Green Day is good, but I kinda lost interest after Dookie. They started to get too political and I'm allergic to most political bands. I moved on. I don't like most of their new stuff. I feel the same about Weezer -- "Beverly Hills" really makes me CRINGE!!! But that blue album -- listening...

    I don't even listen to the radio -- only if it's on in a shop or something. That's what my iPod is for. They don't even play the music I like ON the radio (this part ties in with the hipster original topic lol) The exception is local station WRDV, which plays music from the 20s to the 40s...

    90s is "classic rock" now on some of our local stations. But not "oldies" -- YET.

    That's one band my mom never got into so it was safe to like them lol I only like them up to Dookie, though. Everything after that kinda sucked :/

    lol I'm already having a tough time dealing with the fact that our local "oldies" station plays 80s music lol lol lol In the 80s, that station played 50s music!

    lol When my mom bought Smashing Pumpkins and Nine Inch Nails CDs in 1995 I knew it was time to stop listening to them and get into something harder and more underground lol Today, I could care less!!

    My family *is* working class (dad worked as a mold maker, mom was a waitress, I worked in a factory for 7 years, most of my relatives live in trailer parks, etc...) and they've never said anything like that to us kids. They rarely said any vulgar language around us. That was something I...

    What do they want? What did they want in the Golden era?

    All of this. This is how my husband and I operate. That "man vs. woman" crap is lame *yawn* I'm sure they exist, but I'm lucky enough to not know anyone that immature. Also, men (and women, too) who think they are experts on the opposite sex make me laugh lol
