Current obsession: The Jackson 5

So maybe Michael Jackson's had a lot of bad press, but no matter how much Michael Jackson's disliked at the moment, The Jackson 5 are still one of the best pop groups, ever.

Every now and then (in fact, about every week), I go through a phase of obsessively liking one band or artist, and listening to their music non-stop. This never lasts for more than three or four days, but during that period I pretty much refuse to listen to anyone else. Then, as suddenly as it started, it's over. Currently, as you may already have deciphered, it's The Jackson 5.

I mean, these guys are amazing. Just their names are great. Tito, Marlon, Jermaine... I would give anything to be called Tito. On a musical side of things, their songs are just so catchy. I was actually whistling I Want You Back all day today, and it would have been singing if I could go that high. But really, I'm in love with The Jackson 5 (although I'd better not let Michael hear me saying that, considering current allegations).

I also love the way that whenever I hear the piano slide at the beginning of I Want You Back I keep thinking it's going to be ABBA's Dancing Queen. I'm such a freak.

Knowing me, this type of post will probably become a regular, seeing as my obsessions seem to change weekly. Watch out for more!
