ess doubleyou eff

Actually, I have no idea who is single, or straight, for that matter. However, I recently had occasion to acquire, by way of cash, trade, and US Mail, five compact discs by white females, all within a few hours of each other. So I loaded them all into my new old car's 6-cd changer (the last slot is for E-A-Ski, fool) and started the listening test. For the next week or so, sugarhigh! will list the 5 discs in order of preference, revising only when the order changes. So, after one full listen-through, here's how things stand:

1) Body Language, Kylie Minogue
2) Here For The Party, Gretchen Wilson
3) Uh Huh Her, PJ Harvey
4) So-Called Chaos, Alanis Morissette
5) Under My Skin, Avril Lavigne

notes: Big drop-off after #3. As I think is to be expected, this first impression list is more or less a map of my "genre tastes" as they pre-exist the project (though I would have expected a reversal in the two lowest spots): dancepop, Nashpop, whatever Polly Jean is, therapy pop, pre-therapy pop.

One of these records contains the line "don't confuse emotions with the pleasure principle." Assuming you don't already know the answer, care to hazard a guess?

I'm not familiar with Gretchen Wilson but her title is my favorite.

As for Whose Line is it Anyway...I'd say Kylie or Avril? No, Alanis. Yeah, that's my answer. Alanis.
