More Screechings from the Monkey house.
Hello again. I realize I have only one piece of fan art posted, but more will be on the way. Soon, I hope. On my elfwood galleries, I added at least two new pictures on my Lothlorien and a new Zone 47 gallery as well with four pictures of original characters. It has occured to me only recently about how desperately I need a CD burner. I have so many soundtracks from the anime, game, J-pop, and J-rock cds I own in a playlist that is 11 hours,42 minutes, and 28 seconds long. Since I can't very well carry about my computer to listen to my musical happiness, the only solution to this problem is to get off my lazy ass, get a job with which to accumulate money, and then blow it all on a cd burner and blank cds. Sadly, the job market is slim pickings for one so young as I, who also balks at the idea of working in a greasy fast food place. I spent the night over at a good friend's house recently, and listened to some truly insane music. Anyone who knows the song "Butterfly", the scary techno version or otherwhise, feel my pain. (Ai yi yai I'm your little butterfly...)
Speaking of insane Japanese music, I bought the Chobits "character Theme song Collection" cd some time ago, listened to it a few times, then deposited it in my collection where it sat collecting dust for a while. Today, I dug up the cd, wondered why I had not listened to it in a while, and jovially popped the disc into my cd player. I promptly discovered why it had been forgotten by me. Let me put it this way, though this cd has its share of decent songs and instrumentals, one song is undoubtedly on crack. The song in question is "Groove master" the theme song of Shimbo and Sumomo(or plum). Now I'd like to say that musically, I'm not easily frightened, I mean, for crying out loud one of my favourite songs is Gekka no Yasokyoku by malice Mizer, a sort of freaky carnival song that makes you want to run around, dressed as a jester, scaring little children . But, this song, "Groove Master" made me seriously consider whether or not I had been smoking anything. It's techno-esque, which tends to be cracked up sometimes anyway, it's insanely repetitive, and Sumomo's voice is so reminescent of a six year old sucking on helium that I can feel my ears bleeding when I listen to her sing her part of the duet. I don't feel as if I'm exagerating, but if you doubt me, just listen to it, I dare you.
Don't get me wrong, I love Chobits the SERIES, but the cd left me little less than satisfied.
But anyway, as I close this entry while listening to Happitai "YATTA" which is a life changing experience in itself if you see the music video (on albinoblacksheep.com's video section), I'd like to leave you with a final thought, but I have none to give for now. Happy da.
