I love YouTube

I have just found that someone has uploaded the entire video Hormonally Yours by Shakespeare's Sister onto YouTube (the place to go for all your music piracy needs).

I think the fact that this video was the first music purchase I ever made, and that I watched it obsessively as a child, explains quite a lot about my psyche. Most especially, I think all of my very favourite LARP characters are in fact attempts to recreate the scenes and emotions depicted in the video.

I wonder how much of it was that I loved the video because it expressed what was inside me, and how much I was shaped by the video? (It came out in 1992 when I was 7, and I bought it after seeing Hello (Turn On Your Radio) on Top Of The Pops, and I used Stay as the basis of some improvised theatre I did at the theatre group I was in as a child.)

Link to Hormonally Yours? I can't find it on youtube

Search for Shakespeare's Sister instead - it is all in individual track chunks, unfortunately, rather than the whole thing all the way through.

I would guess you loved the video, because it expressed what was inside you rather than being shaped by it. I don't think you would have bought it randomly and decided to base yourself around it.
