Earcandy - happily no integrity
I'm busy making an excellent car cd! Do you know what a car cd is? Well, I'm sure you've all heard of car songs, right? Songs where, when you hear them you just have an uncontrollable urge to pump the volume and really belt it out, singing at the top of your lungs! Most often heard when you're in the car, and best experienced by yourself with the windows up (preferably on the freeway). And a car cd is a WHOLE BEAUTIFUL CD of those songs! How cool is that! I know, right! So making a car cd often turns out to be a very noisy process.
"And the reason is YOUUUUUUUUUUU"
"When DOVVVVVVEEESSSS CRYYYYYYYYY"
"Just because...I'm in love...with an UPTOWN GIIII-IIIRRRRRLLLLLL"
"ABC! It's easy as ONE TWO THREE, YOU AND ME, ABC baby you and ME GIRRRRRLLLLLL"
Ahem... I think you get the picture ;-) So my car cds are called Earcandy - because I don't worry whether the songs actually have any integrity or not (I've got Manu Chao next to Britney Spears next to the Everly Brothers next to Otis Redding) it's just a bit like junk food for your ears! I'm up to Earcandy vol III now, and still no signs of running out of songs!
EARCANDY
"Teardropppps on the dancefloor - reMINDS ME BABY OF YOU!"
"My milkshake brings all the boys to the bar and DAMN RIGHT it's BETTER THAN YOURS!!"
"So puh-LEEEEEEEEEASE baaaaayyy-bbbeeeeeeee puh-leeeeeeeease, open your HEAAAAAAARRRRRRT..."
(Did I mention that the thing about car songs is that it doesn't matter how wrong you get the lyrics, as long as you keep the volume UP and sing as loudly as possible? Very important to remember that!)

Brilliant!!! Absolutely Brilliant! And so true- anyone who's ever owned a car knows car songs. If you don't you never listened to the radio. They're the type that not only make you belt out at the top of your lungs, but you have the sudden urge to 'put foot' as we saffa's say. The speedo needle will suddenly have an upward jolt and you're 'one the road again...'
