Further Digressions Of An Eru
Jan. 4th, 2004 01:08 amMy mother's reaction after seeing LotR: FotR for the first time...
Mum, amazed: And he didn't put the ring in the fire?! Holy FUCK!
That's what happens when you make a Danielle Steele fan watch an epic for three hours straight. Da liked it though. So the evening was not entirely wasted.
Room On Fire is a good album. The vocals kind of get lost beneath the guitar, but the guitar's extra spiffy so it's alright. Much like Automatic Stop, 12:51, What Ever Happened?, Reptilia... well, all of them, basically. (Though there seem to be a few moments in which it sounds like Silly 60's Pop Rock.)
The Blue Album also good, in a laddish way. Weezer's always fun anyway, and this album has such classics as Buddy Holly, The Sweater Song, and- my favourite- Only In Dreams.
beautifulgarbage sounds more pop-ish than Garbage's other two albums, but it's damn good pop and still has the Garbage edge to it- it's not manufactured. And plus it has an overdramatic not-a-love-song that sounds like it should be in Grease that amuses me to no end.
Also, Loreena McKennitt's album The Book of Secrets. This is not mine- I stole it from Keru- but is still wunnerful. Loreena my hero, really. Or one of.
I very secretly want to join an eighties metal band and cover Metallica endlessly.
More Or Less Baseless Theories About Musicians
- Meg White is a robot. This is a press conference away from being veritable truth. Jack even said she was. You can't get much more true than that. Unless you can. Logically.
- Jack White is flaming. I come to this conclusion not only because of the disturbing amounts of Jack/Julian slash on the Internet, but because of that interview at Much where he kept on giving George Strombowhateverthefuck those coy, come-hither looks from under his (fluttering) lashes. (Was laughing heartily at this. George was being quite flirty himself.)
- Christina and Kelly Osbourne are dating. This is because I thought it would be cute to end the European MTV Music Awards with something like this...
*Christina and Kelly are cuddling backstage on a couch.*
Kelly: Chris? You didn't MEAN that stuff you said about me... did you?
Christina *kisses her*: Of course not, lovely. Now go to sleep.
- Conor Oberst is dating Winona Ryder because he's intensely narcissistic and likes waking up next to someone who looks just like him.
- When Davey Havok isn't in public and expected to look gothy and angst-ridden, he wears his hair in ringlets. With little pink bows. (His hair pretty. I want.)
- Marilyn Manson is really just a big fluffy puppy.
- ... you know I've actually found Eminem/Jack White stuff...? =\
- And, just because I mentioned Eminem, I love Moby. Not his music necessarily, but the fact that he's such a voice of reason- an island of calm in the turbulant sea of the music industry. For example, the other day I was watching something on MMM about the most shocking moments of rock'n'roll, and it mentioned Marilyn Manson becoming an ordained minister of the Church of Satan; Moby said, rather sensibly, that he though the idea of a Church of Satan was silly, because (he reasoned) if there's a Great Lord of Supreme Evil why is he going to listen to a couple goth kids in a basement?
'Course, Satanism and a few kids who want to piss off their parents are two very different things, but hurrah for Moby anyway!
A few links that probably won't interest you much:
Why you shouldn't study Japanese. If thinking of- shockgasphorror!- majoring in such a thing, read this first.
The Fantastical Bestiary, a rather hilarious new comic.
Pretty pictures of girls who love each other. About bloody time.
It's snowed. The Weather Gods are finally recovering from that post-Hannukah hangover.
Luck, happy thoughts, and chocolate to People Who Are Currently Overworked.
