Gimme a beat!

Surfing Entertainment Weekly's site, I ran across a mention... can it be possible that Janet Jackson's "Control" is 20? OMG it's frightening how fast time goes by. My ex had such a THING for that album, constantly had it playing so it always reminds me of him. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you... good memories. :)

Quote from Janet's longtime collaborator Jimmy Jam to MTV:
"We're celebrating 20 years since the Control album, so it would be crazy not to at least acknowledge that a little bit. So we're digging out all the old sounds that we haven't used in years and she sounds fantastic. It's a record for the hardcore Janet fans: It's very danceable, very upbeat, very happy."

Good to know that she's getting back to her basics. I dig old school Janet so this will be awesome, I'm sure. Great too, since there were only like one, or two maximum songs on the last couple of albums that really got me.

::runs off to put some Control and Rhythm Nation songs on her iPod::

OMG it's frightening how fast time goes by.

I am reminded of this each week when I put together my Today in Rock segment for my radio show. I remember all of those features from when the songs were new and I listened to them on the radio for the first time. Time flies by, and it seems to speed up as I get older.

I loved Black Cat, I think that was Rhythm Nation. I can't believe that album is 20 years old...

I feel so old now!
