\u201cBlack Velvet<\/a>\u201d by Alannah Myles (don\u2019t hate me \u2019cause I\u2019m cheesy).<\/p>\n and I\u2019m like, why? Why do I have these together in the same sort because they represent two vastly different phases of my life.<\/p>\n The remembery I associate with \u201cCenterfold\u201d is a roller rink. I was 13.<\/p>\n The remembery I associate with \u201cBlack Velvet\u201d is my room in the apartment I shared with 3 other girls in Provo, Utah. I was 21.<\/p>\n That\u2019s not to mention all the flashes of rememberies in between the Centerfold part of my life and the Black Velvet part of my life, all rich in music, rich in experience, all helping to define my personality and philosophy, riding with me through alternating giddy and painful adolescence to adulthood. (Although to be fair, I don\u2019t remember much between giddy and painful \u2019cause I tend toward the melodramatic. Betcha hadn\u2019t noticed that yet.)<\/p>\n I have self-defined genres that fit a certain aspect of my life. I remember nearly every song on the radio the day I sat in my aunt\u2019s house in Salt Lake, waiting for my parents to say it was time to take me to Provo and leave me there for the next 4 years of my life, 1200 miles from home. Shit, I couldn\u2019t wait. (Never mind I didn\u2019t make it 4 years and ended up with a home-grown degree from UMKC.)<\/p>\n I also have one that chronicles the summer I was 20, feeling my oats, not a care in the world and delivering pizza on a lunch rush for fun money. I went to Europe that summer for a month with my family and I couldn\u2019t turn around in Holland and Germany without hearing Belinda Carlisle\u2019s \u201cCircle in the Sand<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n I did a lot that summer. I wish I\u2019d done more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I sorted my music by Mojo-defined genre for a change and noticed a very strange juxtaposition in the category of \u201c\u201980s Pop\u201d: \u201cCenterfold\u201d by the J.
