"some peppy melody about rainbows blending"

1. I think I broke the one site I found online with lyrics to Sing Happy. Apparently I've been visiting it so often that it decided to just die on me. RANDOM.

2. I'm in a ridiculously spammy mood. To wit, have some Idina goodness:

God knows she's had to sing enough dodgy versions of Defying Gravity to last her a lifetime (one word: techno), so it's nice to see her sing a really poppy, lovely version of DG. Actually, the videos from this event are pretty awesome. She breaks her mike stand in Better To Have Loved, bwahaha!

3. Iconage-wise, I am finally at Act II of The Wild Party. Which means I'm just about due to icon Idina in Life of the Party. I'm hoping this won't result in 2,332 icons.

4. Julia Murney singing She Goes - practically a religious experience in itself, y/y?

5. I have started making album art for my iPod. I am DEAD. THERE IS NO TURNING BACK. I KNOW THIS. Anyway. If anyone happens to want very simple but perfectly functional cover art for Birdland 2006 and Joe's Pub 2003...



One of the best concerts ever. And I swear, one of my favourite pictures of Julia. Hee.



Okay, so this isn't really a photo from the actual Joe's Pub concert in 2003, which remains a bit mythical (hey, I only laid hands on the audio, like, a month ago). It's from a performance there, though (from 2005, I think?) - thanks to
irnbruise for the original photo. :)

6. I am a little bit obsessed with The Last Five Years recently. I was reading this thread on broadwayworld.com and someone mentioned that they'd put the entire musical the right way around in their playlists, just to listen to it all the way through in chronological order. Unfortunately, this involves me cutting up my versions of "Goodbye Until Tomorrow/I Could Never Rescue You", which upsets me greatly. I'll probably end up doing it at some point, though, just so I can make that playlist. Fingers and toes and everything crossed that the Jason Robert Brown concert I'm going for on Friday will be good. And that whoever sings I Can Do Better Than That - if someone sings it - can belt the crap out of that song the way Sherie, Julia and Lauren do...

7. Edited to add: No one is allowed to marry Brian d'Arcy James except me. NO ONE. I just listened to him singing Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas from his Christmas album. I LOVE HIM. AND HIS VOICE. And oh god, now I am actually looking forward to Shrek on Broadway. Even though it could very very well be dire (I am SO not optimistic that it'll be any good), at least it's him, and Sutton, and LIVE. ASKLDJADJLSA.
