Import Singles - Work of the Devil
A Quality Deidra Rant


Going home. Usually it's a good thing. You get away from classes, annoying people, cafeteria food. But for me, going home is a bad thing. Why? Because we have a thing called Best Buy here - otherwise known as import CD heaven. And we also have a Border's - otherwise known as cheezy unauthorized biography heaven. I spend way too much money on things I really don't need. Really, why do I think I need NSYNC merchandise? I mean, I'm not talking about clocks or t-shirts. No way. Because that would make me a loser fan, if I bought those. So I limit my purchases to CDs and videos.

Oh yeah, that makes me a lot cooler. Because of all my CD purchases (mostly import singles), I now have just about every remix of Bye Bye Bye ever produced. I have about 3 CD's with "Together Again" on them. I bought the "God Must Have Spent" single because of the live version of "Sailing." I hate GMHSALMTOY. Mostly because no one should have a title that freaking long. But still, I don't like it. But I paid 10 bucks for the damn thing so I could "make an ocean of people" with Chris. That was the first import CD I bought. Before that, it was NSA and the self-titled jobber. And I didn't even buy the first CD, I copied it. But after I bought that little single, and saw the cool stuff you got (including the *beautiful* card that came with the CD), I was hooked. Next came "Together Again." And then, the one thing that sent me down the spiral completeley...

I bought the European release of the first album.

Jerks.

They reel you in. I know that NSYNC and Jive management all sit down and say "Fans love us! They'll want to get their grubby little paws on everthing we sing! So let's not release everything here. Let's put cool unreleased songs and different versions of released stuff on singles, and sell them for 10 bucks apiece. But really, the remixes aren't that much different. The unreleased songs really suck. But they don't know that! Everytime we click our fingers, it's 9.99 for YOU!"

Take this weekend for example. I got a voucher for filling out this survey at Best Buy. I already knew what I was going to buy as soon as I got it. The "U Drive Me Crazy" single. The song is just so...damn catchy. I mean, the video is a different story. But still, I like the song. It's poppy. It's dancey. God dammit, it was the feelgood song of the year that was never released.


So I bought the stupid CD. 5 whole dollars off the 9.99 sticker price. Such a deal for four songs, let me tell you. I popped it into my car CD player as soon as I got it. It's like a drug. You feel cool.

I don't really know why I needed another NSYNC CD.

That brought my total count up to 13. I HATE THEM!! With all this god damn money I spend on their loser asses, they can send me a fucking ticket! And I should at least get a glow-stick whipped at my head for good measure. Ungrateful pricks.

Wow, meet Bitter Spice. But still. It's cool. I'm allowed. Bitches.

Oh, I also looked for the Euge Groove CD today at Best Buy. Not because I was going to buy it, mind you. But I was just curious, you know? Pornstar. We should buy JC a pornstar shirt and send it to him. Compliments of the Shaaa-zay Cafe.

Who am I kidding? If the CD was there, I probably would have bought the damn thing.

After I bought the CD, I went out to Border's. I was bored, so I sat down and skimmed Britney's "Heart to Heart" book that she co-wrote with her mother. God. I bet that woman is just like a total "Mommie Dearest." There's something off about her. And the book made me want to tear my own heart out to stop the sickening sweetness. But you just couldn't put it down. There were some oldschool JuJu pics. DAMN, that boy was UG-LY!

They had the Japanese NSA at Border's. It has just two extra tracks. Both of them I have. It was 32.00. I regarded it for two seconds before putting it down. I hate NSYNC. They all need to die. I'm brainwashed. I almost bought the "Bye Bye Bye" single for one fucking song! 10 bucks for one song! Okay, I didn't almost buy it. But I *thought* about it. Flamers.

And don't get me started on videos. I already own the McDonald's one. I just bought the Madison Square Garden show the other day. (Random strangeness? I bought it two days before it came out. I don't know. It was at a used CD store.) *N The Mix is on the way.

Speaking of videos, I wonder if Steve is going on tour with the guys again. I told you about Steve right? Joey's brother/lover, whatever, who's like Joey's other asscheek (Chris being the other), who goes on tour and acts like he's all cool with a chipped tooth? Of course, they write it off that he's doing a "documentary" on the band. Yeah right. The only place that documentary can be shown is in the ranks of Tommy Lee/Pamela.

Those FATone's, they breed 'em real weird in Brooklyn. REAL weird. There's definitely something odd between those two. And really, why would you go on tour and mooch off your brothers success?

Oh wait. He's a FATone.

Chicks. I forgot the key answer. Damn, I gots dat riddle figgered out, yo!

But back to my video obsession. I guess at least I haven't reached the point where I buy the bootleg stuff off Ebay. Oh god, that's probably next. But really! Why do I need these? I don't need to have Lance breaking the car, or JC begging Lonnie to "check the list for NSYNC" recorded for an eternity of playback and fast forward. Well, okay, seeing JC lick that microphone is nice. Of course, later on in life, I'll regard them like old NKOTB videos. Fortunately, I never owned NKOTB tapes. But maybe that's the sad part...I'm 19...no, wait, 20 now. And I'm a FAN. Yes, that's right world. I'm a fan of NSYNC.

I may not be one of those psycho t-shirt wearing ones.

But I'm still a fan.

God dammit.
