OMG ITS NOT EVEN SATURDAY AND PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN UP POSTING INTERESTING THINGS ON LJ.
No its not fair that you all have lives, I say it isn't, why do you ask.
Warren Ellis's rant on the cancellation of Robin Hood, Primeval, the movement of Torchwood, and the state of British teevee. Not that I watch any of those shows but the man probably has a point.
COOL BAND:
Beat Antique. They've come out with a new album today, Contraption Vol. 1 EP. I think they are brilliant, rocking some sort of hardcore and sometimes urban themes while actually sounding eastern European/Middle Eastern. This is all good in my book, and the fact that a good deal of their songs are instrumental mean YAY, WRITING MUSIC. I love good lyrics so much that I tend to actually listen to them instead of writing when I try. (Or I accidentally transcribe what I hear while writing, which is interesting and
apparently I'm not the only one.)
BAND I WANT TO LIKE:
Anweledig. Welsh band that actually sings in Welsh, something I like as I'm trying to learn the language. But their music is a bit too... I dunno, poppy/Jimmy Buffett/ska/something like the lame German shit my grandmother sometimes listens to like
Heino. Some of it. The stuff on myspace is okay I guess; "Byw" has its moments. I just really want to like their song "Merch Coffi" because a song with cute lyrics in Welsh called "Coffee Girl" has to be worth loving, right?
Spending my day reading and trying to write fic. Working on a Gene/Donna fic and I'm also really hoping I can get somewhere with a rather-awesome-if-I-do-say-so-myself fic idea for Jack/Irina. XDDD
ONLY THING BRINGING ME DOWN: I cannot find my Beauty and the Beast DVD anywhere. If you see it wandering the streets please tell it to return home. Reeeeeeeeeeeally want to watch it.
(I have freshly-made naan and hummus. Snack time!)
