love me baby, one more time
Aug. 30th, 2009 08:35 pmLately - well, now and then for the past few months - I've been queuing this up on YouTube from time to time, whenever I'm in the mood for a good, loopy, old-skool track.
High art, it ain't, but it's part of an old mixtape I got from a music penpal long gone. I got it right before a FL vacation and it was on heavy rotation on the drive down. And during (it rained the entire week). I have happy memories of that vacation (turns out it was one of the last I took with my extended family before graduating college/moving away) and so the associations are really good :)
Now and then I'll snoop teh intarwebs for the MP3s of it and 2 other tracks very similar to it (MIG 31 and MIG 33), partly for sentimental reasons but also for the thrill of the chase - given the ready availability of just about ANYTHING online I'm pleasantly surprised that these are genuinely hard to find!
Sooner or later I'll probably just get them on vinyl and make digital copies, if I can find 'em cheap (these aren't, after all, some limited edition Aphex Twin or the like - Wax.fm seems excellent for this), but right now I'm too busy enjoying the hunt :P

Took me until today to realize that Twittinesis wasn't posting twice, but that LoudTwitter is back. Fixed so that hopefully no more repeats, because fantastic as the Two Towers to a live orchestra/soloists is and was, you don't need to read it twice.
Actually, you need to read it 3 times (mentioned here again), because it WAS that good. The thunderstorm perfectly timed to the beginning of the battle of Helms Deep on screen (wonder how the venue arranged that) as well. And while the violin solo for Eowyn/Rohan gives me chills, it does even more so live!
Sincere thanks to C. who discovered the event/got us tix, and it was a lovely evening out with D., C., C.'s husband A. and A., visiting from out of town :)
