Happy Birthday to Nick Lowe born on this day in 1949.
Everybody say, 'Hey, we want some cookies!'
My first year of college was a disaster. (I survived largely due to inertia -- avoiding making bad decisions by doing almost nothing at all.)
But I lived in an apartment, and I had an oven and a chocolate chip cookie recipe. A common Friday night for me was to bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies and sit and watch 80s music videos.
This means that -- while many songs from the 80s bring up complex emotions and memories -- a lot of 80s songs just make me want to eat chocolate chip cookies.
"Hold Me Now" by the Thompson Twins is a chocolate chip cookie song.
(Bonus fact -- although I have ended up somewhere else -- my original plan for my hair was based on Tom Bailey and his waist-length rat-tail.)

The Friday nighty night jam: kinda reminds me of the junior year in high school. Kinda.

Happy Birthday to David Sylvian who was born on this day in 1958.
Damn if this isnβt not only the nighty night jam but the most recent ear worm.

She floats like a swan
Grace on the water
Lips Like Sugar
