And this guy. Who needs to know how to play an instrument when you have such sharp editing skills?

Lately i've been on a big french-music nostalgia kick, from around 96-98 or so when we had MusiquePlus pumped into our house on channel 35. I honed my french skills watching that all summer, and latched onto a few videos. I recall liking Indochine at the time. These guys have been around for a million years. The original song I knew of theirs was "Drugstar." this song came out a couple years before i knew what parties really were, and before i was even aware that people my age were having them. i mean, that was so... BAD! but i know i always thought that this video looked like fun. well, i had made out with a guy by then, i wasn't a TOTAL square haha. much the same appeal with Bush's "swallowed" video, the disaffected-wigged-out-attractive-but-skinny-teenagers totally appealed to me. i never quite grew into the mellow-destructive-drug party lifestyle. darn huh? mmm beautiful and damaged... -

..

Now I also found this pretty indochine tune featuring uber-gorgeous Canadian rock songstress Melissa Auf Der Maur. Awww. Painfully, stunningly beautiful. I'm putting in my bid now to be MADM in my next life.

So yeah - french people and disaffected/wigged-out/beautiful/damaged people are welcome as well.

Music:

That's all there is to it.

I like bands that make me want to dance, i like bands that make me sing, i like my friends' bands, i like dark bands, i like bands that make me think and bands that make me rock, i like bands that make me weep and bands that make me drunk. i like bands that make me take my clothes off, i like bands that make me lose control. no no, YOU make me lose control. are you a band? i hope so. whatever. i know music is like 95% of the reason you're here anyhow so share, lover.

Movies:

sometimes. okay lots. i have my standbys, you know, the monty python and the holy grails, the labyrinths replete with slow-motion hoggle off-shaking, the princess brides, the harold + maudes. but if i see something i like... well... i'll like it. natch.

Television:

sometimes. family guy. who needs anything else? okay, hockey games, house + grey's. why wasn't my hospital doctor ever McDreamy?

Books:

too many. pink? sex + sunsets? the world i made for her (so sweet). and whats that other one i read that was sort of a modern day, smutty sound of music? the benefits of passion, that's the one

Heroes:

you! save me! dont forget the superhero booties.

My Blog

gah!

I love this rihanna song! does that totally kill my indie cred? and she is uberdreamy to boot... http://youtube.com/watch?v=X7bK4Vee36M

revelate

things are so powerful to me. i think people don't realize that sometimes because i tend to play off like s'all cool. And you know, it is... it's cool. I only hope I'm just as powerful back sometimes....
