Music post, again
Jan. 16th, 2004 05:32 pm(5:30 on a Friday. Why am I still here?) Listening to those TeniPuri singles, finally, hahaha. The trend of having the b-sides actually being better than the a-sides continues apace. Atobe's Greek Word Song... gives me a tip-of-the-tongue feel, as if I should have some spectacularly clever observation to make - more witty than "rather like a good T.M.Revolution number", which is obvious. Ah vell, it will come to me. XD Tezuka's, meanwhile, just proves that the only music he ever listens to are his mum's old cassettes. (It has never been a better time to be an 80s pop geek, and this appears to hold true even for tenisu muziku. Even if when one says "80s pop" one does not necessarily think first of enka/folkpop with harmonicas in, but for Asian pop it's a retro sound, and one I like.)
...You know what I'd to do, if I ever have time to start another big project? (Ha. Ha. Ha.) A pop blog devoted to jpop/anime music, written with an attempt at the verve and snark and music-journo-wank-type referentialism that I've come to expect from pop blogs. Nothing resembling that exists in English, really, except Shiroi Heya, and even that is not quite the same... tone. The people who blog the Avex jpop I slurp up tend to describe the songs in terms like "upbeat, but sort of calm at the same time," which tells me exactly nothing. >_>
( More mp3 sl0rage, because it never rains but it pours so to speak )
EDIT -- last notes for evening before I turn in: watched the first half of TeniMyu with Tania and Erin. As suspected, the more plastered (on cheap merlot) one is the more one enjoys this experience. Began to attempt a soundtrack mix for the St.R episodes, only to realise that they're all Erasure songs. O_O Rebound from the previously displayed synthpop-restraint. ("She Won't Be Home"! I mean, discounting that Yuuta isn't a girl. And "Love To Hate You" of course. I've always felt Andy Bell was "acting a character" in that one, PSB-style, and claimed facetiously that it was fanon!Draco. But it could just as well be Mizuki.)
