A song for the day
Jan. 10th, 2011 01:09 pmI do enjoy Bon Iver, quite a lot. I know that he tends to get overhyped quite a bit, but I do think he deserves a lot of that praise.
For instance, this cover he did of "Come Talk to Me" by Peter Gabriel is one of the loveliest things I've heard in recent memory. You can get it here, it's number 23.
I like it. I think it's oddly prescient in light of this weekend's tragedy in Arizona, too.

I will finish that meme, eventually. Things have been very quiet (almost too quiet) but I'm getting a lot of rest, and that's what matters. In a continuation of last year, I'm doing my 2010-wrap up, via music, courtesy of youtube, with a bit of something extra for the new year:

We in the Theater School have all kind of unanimously reacted like this:

I mean, hey, the sets and costumes all look pretty cool. And Evan Rachel Wood is no longer attached (thank God). But still, I think our reaction is "WHY?"
(Of course, the answer is we've spent 52 goddamn million dollars and it WILL GO UP IF IT'S THE LAST THING WE EVER DO)
Mostly I'm skeptical. I think it's pretty unecessary, and the money, time, and talent could probably have been better spent elsewhere. But hey, if they were to pay me to paint something on that thing, you bet your ass I'd be all over it, so there you go.
I haven't listened to the score yet. I'm not sure that I will. I'm too afraid. But if it's anything like the song they did for Batman Forever, then it could probably sound pretty good. (Not for a MUSICAL mind you).
However, it still can't top the best superhero song ever:

2009 Musical Boogaloo
Dec. 31st, 2009 08:22 amInstead of doing my usual "Year in Review" I've decided to instead work up a list of music, going month by month, that pretty much encapsulated the year for me. It started on a low point, but I'm going out on a hopeful note. Of course it's in youtubey goodness, so I'm cutting to save people's flists.
