So, I'm having an especially music orientated week, this week.
And it's all the fault of
celtic_cookie
Which, okay, is hardly news, cause much of my music thoughts are direct results of things she has talked about, but this, this can completely and totally be directly traced back to her.
She started talking about American Idol...and it has since stolen my brain. I don't tend to watch reality programs or competition programs, though I have on occasion seen some of a variety of different ones...I don't tune in every week, and generally don't invest much effort in them, even if they do grip me for a while...and this time, apart from I think catching one of the audition eppisodes (when it was being aired randomly over here in the UK) I hadn't seen any of this season of American Iodl, and it was in fact all over before I truly registered it;s existence. and now, because
celtic_cookie brought it too my attention, I am obsessed.
Coming at it from this end, it all being over it's strange, I don't get any of the tension, I mean, i already know how it ended, but looking back over things, seeing clips and old eppisodes and interviews and pics and stuff....it has me hooked. And I must say, it ended with an awesome top two...cause Adam...what's not to love about Adam, the man can sing, and he has stage presence...and Kris, I really like his voice, his style also fits quite well within the style of music I like, though then again so does Adam at times (I like me some rock and I like me some theatre)...so it was great see two very different styles of singing being represented in the final, and both of them being good as well. Both of them looking like they were enjoying performing, and from all evidence I have seen, both of them being genuinely nice people.
So as I knew would happen, cause this is what this sort of show does to me....and aided by (once again)
celtic_cookie mentioning the existence of a show called Glee.....I found my love and enjoyment quadroupling....I always love music, and I listen to music everyday, but sometimes it goes into overdrive. My itunes has been on random all week, I'm listening to music I didn't know I had...I'm rocking out, full blast belting out songs, though admittedly often with headphones in, and without actually singing (yes, it is possible to belt out a song without making any noise) as it can be late night and I have neighbours and a party wall. I;m really loving music, and what it can mean, and make you feel, and...yeah, I'm becoming more incoherent than I normally am.
So yeah, this is making me happy. I'm singin, I;m dancing round my living room, I'm missing my days in high school drama club like crazy...I'm sad I sold my guitar when I was sixteen (despite being completly useless on it - i was taught notes not chords...yep I could pick out twinkle twinkle little star, but didn't know a single chord) I;m wishing I could make music...all of which is completely never going to happen, as I think i might actually be tone deaf...I can't sing, and I have no musical ability...but man...i love music. I'm getting to enjoy a wider range of stuff recently, and i'm loving it, finding "new" music is so much fun.
So yeah...that was a very long rambling post that didn't really go anywhere, but sometimes, I just have to stop and ramble about things...and seriously...music is awesome.
