So, J, what's been making you absurdly over-excited this evening?
Well, J, I'm glad you asked. This evening I have been getting absurdly over-excited about
La Révolution Française, a French rock opera by the people who brought you Les Miserables. HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE. I mean, dear God, it has *singing Robespierre* in
FLARES. Could this be any more perfect? As so often, it's entirely
bluwacky's fault, both for knowing this existed at all and finding a copy. All complaints are to be directed at him. ahaha.
Here.
Have a sample track. It's the convening of the Estates General. Wherein the Nobles sound a bit like 'The Kinks Are The Village Green Preservation Society' and the Third Estate BRINGS THE ROCK. This is quite possibly the most epic thing I have ever heard. (Lyrics
here.)
I AM ENTIRELY PREPARED TO SHARE DANTON ROCKING OUT TO 'LA PATRIE EST EN DANGER' IF GIVEN THE SLIGHTEST ENCOURAGEMENT.
