new addictions.

no, no. new addictions.
not new edition the hit boy band from the 80's.

but while we're on the subject of new edition, let's break it down. maybe new edition is more famous for their spin-offs, at least in residual musical magic. (by the way, i do find it interesting that music group 'spin-offs' to solo or other group acts are generally more consistently successful than spin-offs of tv shows...i'm sure i don't need to mention 'joey', 'private practice', or anything by any of the actors from 'seinfeld')

LOVE that song. so poppy and makes you go 'hey! is that the jackson 5?' no silly, the jackson 5 is all grown up and old by now. what else did they do that was awesome? i'm not sure. maybe it's because they were slightly before my listening time.

bobby brown
always the bad boy, he was (by force/popular vote) the first to leave the group. he got way famous going solo, hooked up with whitney, and the rest is history and can probably be relived on every episode of 'i love the 80s/90s' on vh1.

well we all love a black butt and a smile don't we? these guys continue to rock our worlds with 'poison' and 'do me' with hot dance moves, and outfits that make you go 'hmmm' but yet they manage to pull off so well. but i don't think i could name another song they sang. i mean, come on, they're no tony! toni! toné!.

the new edition magic is still alive and kickin' though (apparently). they are still recording and touring together. their website says 'breaking the ground for [over] 20 years'. it's one of those things that, to me, makes me say 'is that cool, or is it just sad?' it was cute when they were 16. but now they're like 40. boy bands don't work past the cute stage. that's all i've gotta say.



oh and the new addiction? scrabulous. on facebook. think you got game? bring it!
thanks a lot, mirto.
