Well, I wanted to answer cathy's thingything, but, I'll do it later!!! Apologies if I've already written about this!!! Hmm....Youtube seems to have some sort of disease and only have what I want in english. Ah well. If you can't remember what happens at the beginning of Inuyasha (honestly, how could you ) here's the link: http://www.veoh.com/search/videos/q/inuyasha+1#watch%3Dv17510642xjJ2AJ8A There's no subtitles (it's quite obvious what's happening), but if you watch it, just watch the 1st scene. What I love about this is that you actually have no idea what's going on. You watch it, think "Bad guy steals jewel, good Miko shoots bad guy, both of them die" and have no idea of how heartbroken both of them are, and that they were in love (of some sorts; I think RT has said at some point it wasn't really love, but the point is, they thought it was). I find it really sad. I like the shock you get when you find out what actually happened, and I think the fact that this is the first thing you see intensifies this. Normally (not always, but fairly often) the beginning of a story sets the scene, tells you something that's true. In Inuyasha, this isn't the case, but you do see hints of what was actually going on really, really early on in the manga. Inuyasha says that Kikyou was prettier and looked more intelligent than Kagome does (http://www.onemanga.com/Inuyasha/2/06/) , which he wouldn't have said if he'd actually hated Kikyou. That's in chapter 2. Sorry, I find this endlessly fascinating, so I've probably written a long and boring essay Alas, farewell!!
Rightho dudes. The lack of posting is distressing me, so I'm going to organise another sesho a bit like the reverse weekend thing. Right. Within the next week, so by next Monday, if you want, you should post about the discovery of your obsessies! And kinda like what they are known for and stuff like that so if I was totally into roses, which I am, I would write something like this.
I am totally obsessed with roses dudes! I discovered them one day while I was strolling in the park, and I totally didn't know they existed! I thought they were like mutant daisies! Everyone else seemed to know they existed it was totally weird and they were like famous for smelling really nice and being red and stuffs. So I got this raving gardening book from the library and set about planting roses. Now I have hundreds and they cover my whooole garden and yum yum whatever you get the picture. It's a sortof back-to-the-roots thing. I'm totally gunna be writing about Kate, The frappo, and that might be just it but poss a single post on Feisty, Laura, F&theM, Stephen King, roses, buns whatever too if I can be bothered. So, tja!
My favourite song by Florence and the Machine! I LOVE the video as well. It looks freakishly like Goldfrapps current videos, like the one for clowns. I think the director prob took inspiration from there. The song really makes me think of Hounds of Love for some reason. I think its the running concept with the "things" "coming". It just seems similar. But this is now one of my favourite songs. Love it. love love love. If I were to make music videos they would be so much like this. AND she has taken the patented cathy-ripped-off-from-kb hair and thing in hair and makeup!!! Sigh all my ideas are taken. The way they dance around her in a circle also reminds me of Goldfrapp. Still its good. Love love. Nice hair. Don't know what else to say about it. Except ... this rocks. The Dog Days are OVER!
Yeah so the other day I discovered yet ANOTHER band I like. It's sort of a cross between a solo and a band I am still a bit confused. They are called "Florence and the Machine". Florence is the lead singer, and "the machine" are her surrounding music players. Gotta love the name. This is their most successful song, A Kiss With A Fist. I prefer their other one but hey. They have only officially released four songs over two singles, with no album announced yet. This video is a bit random, but I like the song haha. I found out about them because they were nominated for a brit, and went to pick up their "promising talent" or "new upcoming artist" or whatever it was award last night (on that subject = go Duffy whoop whoop! Don't love you but I like you! Poor Coldplay ... that makes me sad. And Lastly.... why were Goldfrapp not nominated??? Seventh Tree is like the greatest album of 2008?? Sigh. Back to F and the M) So yeah. It seemed appropriate to post her most successful song first. I kinda want to see them on tour already. I read on wiki that she grew up listening to KB ... (why does that always happen???) but in an interview when asked about influences she didnt mention her. I can see it in the other song sooo much. I think its unconcious. Still, love her. I swear everyone is influenced by KB... Good and bad I guess. Enjoy and comment Please :) P.s. don't worry the song is only 2mins long.
A&E Gui Boratto Remix... it's genius. I love the lil interlude thing with the "feeling lonely, feeling blue". The Hercules and Love Affair remix is pretty good too! I just am besotted with this one. It's like Seventh Tree and Black Cherry rolled into one, with hints of Supernature. Not really any Felt Mountain in there. It just makes me think of Strict Machine. AWESOMENESS (this is just random postieings). I don't know what to say about it. I just love it though. Play it in the background or summat lyk dat man.
