Fire with Fire
The gym opened again today after a month. And of course I had to go to two fitness classes, and now I'm tired, sore and almost dead. But it was worth it, and I found out I'm not in a as bad shape as i thought i was after a month of eating, drinking and avoiding anything sportlike.
Tonight has been all about music. I have found a lot of new, good music, which is fantastic since I practically never find anything nice. And now I'm going to bother you with my finds. Haha.
First off, Scissor Sisters has released another album, Night Work. As Ta-Dah was a bit of an disappointment, I didn't have very high expectations. BUT: I found a few of the songs on youtube, and fell in love all over again!
Fire with Fire makes me shiver all over, it's just so intense, beautiful. Oh, and Jake's voice is just so fabulous. I love his voice in the more "serious" songs, like Mary and Return to Oz. But this song, this song I want to dance to in a full club, pissed out of my mind and out of control, embarrassing all those around me. In short, it makes me ridiculously happy.
Click to viewAnother song, Invisible Light, is described as "gay Thriller" in the comments. And it really is a lot like it! And utterly brilliant! I'm definitely going to go and buy the cd tomorrow. These two songs alone are almost worth the money. I still wish that Ana Matronic hadn't lost all that weight, though. She was so nice and curvy before :P
Today I also discovered Amy MacDonald, pop-country-something singer. I know I'm probably late to the party, but damn this woman has a beautiful, strong voice. Here, have a look: Don't Tell Me That It's Over and Spark.
I've been hearing some nice songs on the radio, and only today I found out they are from the same artist, Gabriella Cilmi. I think Sweet About Me is older, On a Mission is new. I like both, but for some reason the woman herself annoys me. I almost wish I had never watched the videos. Weird. Maybe it's because I think she has a very strong voice and she could do great things with it, and the songs are kinda "strong" as well, and yet she feels the need to prance around half-naked, writhing like an epileptic snake. I just can't take her seriously. (huh, and i call myself a feminist...)
Anyway, just two more. My summer hits. A night out clubbing is a night wasted if I don't hear these two. Stereo Love and Fly Like a Woman. Both are so perfect to dance to. And luckily most clubbers and dj's agree. I've got a "common" taste, I suppose. Cheap even, some might say. But fuck, I'm so tired of music snobs. And snobs altogether. It seems everywhere I turn I bump into people who diss things I like and, through them, me. It makes me a bit... defensive, I guess. I bet someday I'll completely fly off the handle and wipe the floor with the next snobbish bastard I meet.
Diss my ass, I'll kick yours.
(And after that little rant I can never ever say anything even a bit critical about anything :D )
And now: bed, So I can rise bright and early and go back to gym (if I can get out of the bed after today's session) and to buy that CD. Can't wait!
