Happy music
Sep. 11th, 2005 10:52 pmFeel compelled to make a few notes regarding the stories I wrote for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
bb_shousetsu. You know how it is. ^^;
( Commentary schtuff, not all that interesting. )
Been in a really good mood all weekend [1] due to 1) SSBB being done for the time being and 2) people seeming to like it. So here is some happy music.
Stars - Elevator Love Letter: Thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
helvetius. I'm two years late on this one by hipster standards, I think. XD However if you are even later than me, please to download this song, put it on and star (haha) in your own shoujo romance manga for four minutes. I listened to it biking and could swear I flew. The rest of Heart is not as utterly lovely but fine enough that one almost hates it; it's like one of those movies starring Ethan Hawke or Scarlett Johansson as a beautiful, intelligent, sensitive person with an interesting life and angst about - what?
Gwen Stefani - Cool (Richard X Remix): I like this considerably better than the original. It's exactly the remix I'd've made of this song if, er, I were a genius pop producer: remove the middy synth string parts weighing the thing down, thuddy beat way down low to carry the groove and all manner of sparkly bits way up top - snares! birdsong! tinkly Christmas xylophone! It's the audio equivalent of drinking Goldschlager.
Pet Shop Boys - A Red Letter Day (Motiv8 12" Mix) Speaking of remixes I like better than the original, Cis tipped me off to this one. :D It's almost a happy hardcore treatment, though the overall effect is half due to the song itself being so damned happy.
I also have a leak of the new t.A.T.u., Dangerous and Moving, which exceeds all reasonable expectations for a pop album, i.e. you can play it from beginning to end and not have to skip a single track. I'm compiling a list of reasons why this album is awesome, for example:
5) I am currently downloading the "All About Us" video in which (I am assured by reliable sources) Yulia kills YET MORE PEOPLE.
7) Sting guests but you can't even tell.
11) "Obizienka Nol": rest of the world is like, "Ooh, ominous and dramatic!" Meanwhile Russians are like, "......Monkeys?"
I have decided t.A.T.u. are actually v. punk.
[1] At least until I started wrestling with train timetables. But now I have my Eurostar ticket - will be in London afternoon of the 23rd thru morning of the 26th - the rest I'm leaving up in the air until I arrive in Antwerp. Might even do something mad like go on a biking day tour. Pounding anticipation!
