It depends on my mood. I used to yearn for the sixties with my oldies music, but I don't ever really get that urging anymore. I'm still mildly fascinated by the sixties era, but I don't particularly have a desire to visit it like I did then. Now I just sometimes yearn for an era I remember, like the early nineties. Rockapella songs can sometimes still have that effect on me, though not as much as they did two years ago. And when it happens, it's not so much that I want to go back to that time, but that I wish that what happened during that time was happening now, instead.
Actually, as far as Rockapella is concerned, I find myself yearning more for the late nineties era. I wish I'd been into the group then. I was very stubbornly against the Kevin era at first, when I rediscovered them two years ago, but it didn't take long to soften me to it. That era, especially between 1997-2001, seems so fresh and homey somehow. I love watching clips of the group performing and being interviewed during those years. The Kevin era Christmas albums are so magical! And I still wonder what would have happened if I could have only recognized Scott and Elliott on the cover of the Comfort and Joy album when I saw it in Borders. I'm sure I would have bought it if I'd only realized. I was so bad at recognizing people back then, if they looked a bit different from what I remembered.
And speaking of the different eras, I've mostly been listening to the From N.Y. Zombie Jamboree lately because it's the one I have the easiest access to. I was thinking Friday that overall I really didn't like the From N.Y. album as much as I used to and had another burst of yearning for the 1997-2001 era. (And mind you, that's the era and its songs as a whole; I still generally don't like the Kevin era Zombie Jamboree. Except the one I heard last year with the interlude about swallowing a bug. That was epic. LOL.) Tonight I had the chance to get out my other Zombie Jamboree versions and I discovered that From N.Y. is probably the version I like least. XD; And while I used to dislike the Primer version, I like it a lot now. Interesting.
