LP and Wicked
So, I am really loving the new Linkin Park CD. Like I’ve read everywhere and heard everywhere, it is… different. But good. I like the new sound. I like that there are really angry parts and then parts where you can just hear how much fun the guys were having. The song “Bleed It Out” is an example. The drum beat and the clapping plus the laughing heard on the track is great. I really like “Leave Out All the Rest” and probably the best song is “The Little Things Give You Away.” Chester Bennington’s voice is so soft at the beginning like it’s apologetic. And a little surprised by what’s happening. And then, by the second chorus, the voice is stronger and seems angrier. To me at least. It fits with the theme of the song. And I agree with Mike Shinoda, it’s not political, it’s socially aware. Big difference. The band's last two albums were very self-aware where this one is more socially. It's growin up.
So, I saw Wicked on Tuesday. Holy Shit! That is one amazing play. The costumes, the sets, the actors, they were all so very amazing. I’ve read the book so I had an idea of what to expect, but of course, due to time constraints and production, some things had to be changed. But, I didn’t mind. It was still fantastic. And hilarious. I laughed so much. And I still love Elphaba and Fiyero. Probably more now. *sigh*
But man, was I tired the next day. Worst yet, because I got home so late, and had so very little sleep, and then had to actually work the whole of Wednesday (yes, I’m surprised I made it, too) it was Thursday that really kicked my butt. I have a mild case of insomnia so it was even more fun. But that’s okay because that was a play I was dying to see. And I had great seats, too!
So, I’ve got thoughts on SG-1 and SPN but I’ll save them for a bit later. I’m still collecting my thoughts on SPN. Might have to go back and watch both parts just to figure out what the hell to think.
And yay for a Season Three. I didn’t really have doubts, cause that would make the CW stupid but, you never know in Hollywood. Still, the long wait through the summer is gonna be a bitch.
