( Basically I was listening to a Pancakes album Ced sent me and realized the first song was a cover of Jamaica Farewell )

Me and Obama's mom, man. I must've played the Calypso LP a gazillion times in elementary school. This was my favorite song on it. While researching this episode I learnt that "calypso" is the wrong name for this music, which somehow fails to surprise me.

Dr. Louise Bennett (folklorist, poet, musician, radio personality, activist and all-round national treasure of Jamaica) passed away in Toronto a few years back. In case you wonder why she kept cracking Canadian jokes through the live recording. XD; I don't actually know what this song is called! It rocks, though... Am I going to end up ordering shiz from Honest Jon's.

In other news Tsuji Ayano videos have RETURNED TO YTUBE HURRAH:

It's MAGICAL GIRL MONTH whereby we turn mean bikers from the path of violence via the powers of twee and song~~~ ^_^v ^_^v ^_^v

Where is this "all-ukelele Studio Ghibli tribute album" may I ask. Did it hit #1 on the Oricon.

Vampires! In Venice!

Doctor Who S05E06: ( Basically, this contains pie charts. )

( My only excuse for this is that it all went toward my wordcount in 750words.com. )

( On Billie Piper. )

( On writing women. )

All this and I haven't actually said anything about the episode. Man, I think I can safely promise less wankery next week. XD;
