Music soothes the savage liverjournaler

[annafugazzi]

No, I don't know why I'm posting so much these last few days. Or why this post looks like I'm about to get married. I'm not, by the way. Already did it; not looking to do it again.

• Something Old
  I've reorganized my song files for Volunteers and Ember to Ember. I've relinked on the lyrics pages, and thought I'd post links here as well for anyone who's interested. Mostly so that if anybody happens to want to download a song and it doesn't download, I might get a comment about it while I'm still working on the music site, rather than three months from now when I can barely remember even having a music site ;)

  drgaellon mentioned Kevin Kline playing the Pirate King in Pirates of Penzance, and off I went looking for Kline. I've had a crush on him ever since The Big Chill. And lookie! Here he is!!
  
  In and Out. I'd forgotten about the Little Teapot scene.
  A Fish Called Wanda. I could never forget any of these scenes.
  
  
• Something Borrowed
  Somebody asked for a link to Gerry O'Kane's music (he sings a few of the songs at the end of Ember to Ember). Gerry O'Kane was an Irish musician who lived in Kingston, Ontario, for many years. He appears to have gone back to Belfast, and as far as I know, only had one tape of his music. I have no idea how to get in contact with him, or how to legally buy his music. I was going to upload my own mp3s of his one tape, but found something better: somebody else's site with all the other songs on the recording.

  And OMG don't ask me how, but I ended up watching a clip of Rupert Grint and Julie Walters in Driving Lessons, and you know Rowling mentioned somewhere that it was hard keeping Ron's language PG-rated...?
