hello again. so today i am in a big fantasia mood. and this might be a turntable tuesday cop out because while i do listen to the record, i really enjoy watching my fantasia 2000 dvd collection. it has the original fantasia along with fantasia 2000 and bonuses. i do cherish the fantasia album set i've been handed down from my parents and i adore what good shape the book is in...
i'm not sure is fantasia 2000 was recorded on vinyl or is available anywhere but it's for sure something i'd like to get if i can... although really my favorite from fantasia 2000 is the rhapsody in blue piece and i NEED to find a copy of that on vinyl asap. rhapsody in blue is probably my favorite orchestra piece of all time.
and i promise a deeper look into our collection next week... i think maybe it's time for joey to choose a few for me to share from his dad's records.
Because I'm lame that's why! And I'm totally addicted to this season of American Idol. I really have a love-hate relationship with the show. As a former (ahem - sorry needed to clear my throat there, lol) singer I struggle each and every week with those girls and boys. Joey laughs at me because as they sing I make these ridiculous faces as I will them to get back on pitch or to stay strong on that final blasted note. I think this season has so much young young talent that just needs a bit more maturing - but a few of the singers are just right on and I know will go major far.
Oh - and did you see who was hanging out on the Rosie cruise...
Anyway... so I'm not really into just Top40 pop, which is why some years AI annoys me, but it seems this year I'm right there every Tuesday. So in honor of tonight's show (or in spite of it, who knows...) I thought I would share the latest on my ITunes list and wishlist.
They dropped the "PANIC!" so maybe they are chilling out a bit. Pretty Odd comes out soon and the only single I've heard really is 'Nine in the Afternoon' - so I'm undecided as so how much I love it. But I'm so in love with their first album and the lead singers voice so I'm crossing my fingers for some magic.
and the wildcard for any electronic junkies out there...
our newest favorite record company... mixing everything I love right now... art... typography... video...
If you don't like the music - you can at least appreciate the art! lol....
So anything new I'm not listening to that I should be? Let me know!
{hugs}
p.s. Just wanted to add that the video company that produced that is called 75 Music. French, but we won't hold that against them, lol. Very cool company and Jonas & Francois are amazing directors. They did the Justice D.A.N.C.E. video, Kanye West's Good Life video, and are currently working on one for Madonna too. Check them out...
hello again.
