New music and thoughts on episode 3 of 'Sapuri'

Jul 25, 2006 22:40

Ugh, I have this feeling like I'm coming down with a cold - at first I thought it was just allergies (and I'm still holding out hope) but, well, yech.

Anyhoo, icajoleu came over tonight and dragged me out for a shopping trip to Tower Records - funny, he bought ONE CD and I bought FIVE! *laugh* I picked up the new Snow Patrol: Eyes Open, the new Keane: ( Read more... )

I haven't heard Ultra Blue yet. I haven't been really impressed by her recent material, maybe I'm being too harsh on her. I felt that Deep River was her best album, quickly followed by Distance. My friend gave me the impression that it was alot like Exodus, and wasn't worth checking out. Exodus was okay, it had a few good tracks...but the rest were forgettable.

I hope you feel better soon^^

I have heard many similar complaints about UH's material - lots of people seem to love Deep River, but not so much love for the rest. As for me, I first heard Distance and I fell in love with it pretty hard. I don't typically listen to R&B music at all, so for me it's perhaps the novelty, and she was the first Japanese artist that I fell in love with. I enjoy just about all of her songs. Is she the greatest artist ever? No, but one thing that I love about her is that her voice is consistently good and effortless. Compared to some of the Japanese music I listen to (*cough*JE groups*cough) that is a really wonderful thing! *grin ( ... )

I agree, musical taste is subjective. I guess I tend to be more critical of Utada's work since I've followed it around the beginning of her career. I know she's capable of superior work. (I'm the same way with hyde/L'arc~en~ciel, Gackt, etc) Her recent work just hasn't given me the same impact as her music in Distance or Deep River. First Love was a good album, but I felt she was still growing with that one. I have to say you're right about her music and the emotional connection it brings. For me, alot of her earlier music can be tied back to memory.

Strangely enough, any part of me that wants to be critical flies right out the door when it comes to anything Johnny's. I got into this fandom really late, my friend claims it was me being in denial. =P

and I still haven't watched the recent episode with subs yet. I should do that soon.

i wish i had enough time to watch the Sapuri downloads. well maybe i will, once i get my life stabilized a bit. ;)

ok, call me crazy, but for WEEKS now, i've been wanting to cut my hair and like Kame's. CRAZZZZY i know, especially since i dont have the same face shape as him, and i spent $ rebonding my hair months ago. :P

Okay, crazy. Haha! You're so cute! I'm ignorant, so please explain...what is rebonding? I have very ordinary hair, and all I ever do is have it cut, simply, in the same damn cut every single time. Once or twice a year. So I know nothing of things like "rebonding." Meep!

I really hope you get to see Sapuri soon! Selfishly, so I can fangirl with you, but I know you will enjoy at least the part that begins with K and ends with E. :D

rebonding is a lenghty process of straightening one's hair. i believe it was invented by the japanese. its cool, but also expensive. :(

but i did get my hair cut, not like kame's hair, but cut shorter. i like it. :)

oh yes, i should get on the Sapuri mobile. i need to!!!

Surprise - a message in a bottle from me! I had a couple other CDs in hand but it was a good thing I left them behind - like that Liz Phair CD you inherited because I'm forgetting what I own, I already had the other two, too! And since one was the HYF remaster, I couldn't have given that one to ya...

OK, back to scanning a couple more slides before bed.

PS: XM radio online is nifty...

For some reason, my email notifications have been delayed, so I only just found out about this.

I am well surprised! :)

Btw, I am afraid....

....there might be a mouse in my house.

Seriously. :(
