Another Day in Paradise
Just like the title line says, it's another beautiful day in Cali. It's a bit windy and colder than normal (39F when I left home this morning).
I'm sure that's light jacket weather for some of my comrades back east, up north and overseas. As for me, I'm colder than I like to be. Nevertheless, It's clear and gorgeous.
Well, I just finished whaching the entire Cowboy Bebop box set and I gotta tell ya, Shinichiro Watanabe and Yoko Kano are geniuses! I've seen quite a bit of anime over the years and this series is by far one of the best I've seen. Now, don't get me wrong, I saw the original run on Adult Swim in '01. It was amazing then just as it is amazing today. I'm not too huge on anime sountracks but, I do enjoy the OST's from Bebop. So much so, that I've aquired almost every track that The Seatbelts put out for CB. If you haven't taken the time to listen to the music from CB, you gotta give a listen. Yoko Kano is brilliant, as well as the musicians. Having been a drummer for 13 years, I especially enjoy the drums and precussions. The song for all you drummers out there is "Bad Dog, No Bicuit". (If memory serves me right) If you have the audio cd box set, it's the 4th song in on the "Faye" cd.
In conclusion, if you haven't seen Cowboy Bebop, this is a must see and, if you can swing it, a must own for any legit anime fan. Once you see the incredible adventures of Spike, Jet, Faye, Ed and Ein aboard the Bebop, you'll wonder why you waited this long to see it.
I'm out.
