Nov. 15th, 2005 07:51 pmOkay, now I'm going to get around to rambling about music. I just am TOTALLY MISSING the Les Miserables soundtrack out of nowhere just now. Actually I think I was thinking about this junk (LJ), and thinking about the Discworld community, and then was thinking about "Night Watch," and THEN was thinking about how that book reminded me of Les Miz, and THEN I suddenly remembered how I used to belt out "On My Own" because it was totally the story of my love life up until like the spring of '99-- what's really funny is I once saw the show WITH a guy that I totally had a complete Eponine/Marius relationship with, although come to think of it at that point in time we were ignoring each other, long story, and I totally wondered what he was thinking during that song although he probably wasn't thinking ANYTHING interesting, but I was really disappointed anyway because the Eponine in that production sucked which just ruined the whole mood of it ANYWAY.... Okay, I totally tangented. With a total lot of totallys. Anyway, it occurred to me that I have the entire show memorized from start to finish, so do I really NEED the soundtrack anyway, but then I guess I have every Beatles album memorized from start to finish too, so like that stops me.
Speaking of albums by my favorite bands, so like, I finally went through Marty's CDs last week... okay, if you don't know the story of why we have Marty's CDs, ( click here: ) So anyway, we've had three milk crates of CDs in the Book Room for months and I'd never gotten around to looking deeply into them-- all I really knew was that the Bloodhound Gang's Horray for Boobies was on the top, because Jason went around the house randomly exclaiming "Horray for Boobies!" on a regular basis after that. But anyway, Marty has a very interesting collection. 'Sgot a lot of techno crap and junk, but some other stuff too:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rockonliz might be glad to know that he has quite an extensive Sarah MacLaughlan collection. He's got a good bit of classical, which I was excited by, because the only classical stuff I actually own is an old Mozart tape and also this tape my old roommate Christine (who was a piano performance major) made of her playing, which is really good incidentally. I got it into my head that I'm going to try to get Jason into Bach. And I also rediscovered how awesome Beethoven's piano sonatas are. I'd forgotten their awesomeness. Then also I found a pile of nostalgic 90's CDs-- like Alanis Morrissette's Jagged Little Pill and Nirvana's Nevermind -- and I put a bunch of those tracks on my computer. And THEN I found Floyd's Animals, and I was like JACKPOT!!!!!! He also had Wish You Were Here, but of course I already have that one. But I was like, SO COOL, I totally wasn't planning on buying Animals,, at least not before Meddle or Piper at the Gates of Dawn and probably not even before Momentary Lapse of Reason which I was seriously considering at CD Warehouse... but I'll quite gladly swipe Marty's copy. Very really cool. "Wish you were here" just came on my computer. Anyway, so now I have that CD and it's cool, but I haven't listened to it since because mostly when I've had the time it's been night and I've been all alone and the last time I listened to it it struck me that "Sheep" is just a freakin' scary song, and then I tried to take a shower and kept being terrified that monsters were going to attack me and stuff, and then I was listening to "Run Like Hell" in the car the next morning and it occurred to me that THAT song was actually rather scary too, now that you mention it, but I guess I'm used to it, and besides it's like a sixth as long as "Sheep" so you get over it sooner, and then it occurred to me that just about every Floyd song is pretty scary, really, even "Bike" even with lyrics like "I know a mouse and he hasn't got a house I don't know why I call him Gerald," and I wondered how they ever became my second-favorite band in the first place. Anyway, the point is I haven't felt like listening to it at night since then, which is kind of a shame, because it was quite exciting.
( surveys, yay )
