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:

Errr, how? There isn't really a how to it - just fire up Photoshop, choose the picture you want, and make art of it the way you would an icon. Except slightly bigger (I usually go with 300x300 pixels) so that it'll look nice on your iPod and in iTunes.

6. Funny you should mention this. So, I'm reading the free paper on my way home yesterday cuz I was too lazy to carry the heavy book I was reading, and I find out baby theatre section. And in the baby theatre section is a listing for The Last 5 Years playing this week and next. It's playing in a bar with a stage. The whole venue has a capacity of 48 people, which includes performers and staff, but it's $15, so I have tickets for Saturday. I don't even know who's in it, names weren't included and I likely wouldn't know them anyway as this is Toronto, but wild.

6. Oh AWESOME! Do post about it when you've seen it! :) I'd love to be able to see L5Y live - I know it's a very intimate show, and probably doesn't require super fancy staging or anything. But I'd really love to see how the characters interact (or not) on stage and eventually come together for the centrepiece song in the middle. Guess I should really get around to watching that video I have of Norbert and Sherie, lol!

absinthelisa May 22 2008, 01:37:53 UTC

yeah, I have one too that I've not watched. Oops. But I look forward to seeing for myself.

2. OMG! Love! Where is it from - not her London concert? If so I'll be kicking myself harder for not getting a ticket. That's a gorgeous version of the song and I bet her shows are so much fun!!

ellixian May 22 2008, 00:38:03 UTC

Isn't it AWESOME? I love love her version of Better To Have Loved too - not only does she break her mike stand (SO CUTE), she also does some incredible riffs after that. ♥

And yes, it WAS from her London concert - but this was the one that sold out ridiculously quickly, remember? A really small do, partly for record company people. Check out that girl's videos, the rest of the songs are going to be uploaded soon. :D

ALKDSJFLJFADJLSDADA. THE RECORDING WITH SHERIE IS THE FIRST TIME I HEARD L5Y AND IT IS THE MOST AWESOME THING TO EVER AWESOME. Did you buy it off iTunes? Because if not, I'm SO going to upload and spam you with it when I finally get home from work later.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR THE AWESOME. Norbert and Sherie = WIN.

Good suggestion on the fanmix. ;) I think I'll hold off on individual songs too, because that way lies TRUE insanity. Though I'll probably make a collage to cover ALL of Julia's individual songs (she's got loads of random one-offs)...

Also: *sobs a bit at your icon*

OH GOD. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR. MASSIVE L5Y SPAM POST TO COME SOONEST. :D

5. I only bother with cast recordings. ONE DAY, like during summer holidays or something, I'll sit there and do EVERYTHING. But meh, I can't be bothered. :P

6. I've had a scary obsession with that show for... a few years now at least. Eep. I'm finally seeing it this November! *weeps*

ellixian May 22 2008, 04:18:35 UTC

5. It's totally the beginning of the end if you start album art for everything. DON'T DO IT. SAVE YOURSELF. IT'S TOO LATE FOR ME!!

6. Oh god, L5Y is just so EPIC. I'm jealous you get to see a production in November! Stupid question, but there will be audio, yes??

And in that vein - could I be difficult and beg you for the L5Y demo on your list? I want it ALL now. ;) Oh oh. And Julia's Anything But Ordinary that isn't from her own Ars Nova concert?

Thank you! I think I'm thisclose to getting an audio of Alice in Little Shop, so I will totally share that once I do!! :D

lanafromoz May 22 2008, 04:24:51 UTC

6. THERE WILL SO BE. Omg. :P

Emails should be on their way soon with links!

ellixian May 22 2008, 06:18:58 UTC

You are a STAR. Thank you, hon!! :D
