I generally only watch the opening and closing ceremonies...  

"I should point that this next country, the Central African Republic, is, in fact, a Republic, located in Central Africa."

Damn, does Bob Costas do anything in the odd-numbered years? I remember him covering the 2000 Olympics.

Other Musicians / Delta Goodrem

does delta goodrem have a song called "cut"? cos i heard it at my dance studio and i searched for it online when i got home and i couldnt find it.

You could be thinking of a song by Plumb. Now that I think about it, the singer does sound a bit like Delta Goodrem. I know next to nothing about them (her?), but I know there's a song called "Cut". Look on iTunes.

I love "C.S. Lewis Song", "Hosea's Wife", "Deciphering Me", "Seeds"... yeah, her album is pretty sick. This coming from a steadfast non-believer. It rocks.

I found her a few months ago when I was searching for music from obscure countries (Way to let me down, Luxembourg!) and she was the only promising musician from Estonia. Yeah, I think I need something new to do with my free time.

She kind of creeps me out. Is that her natural hair color?

General Vanessa Carlton Discussion / [Us Magazine] V Backing Obama

« on: July 01, 2008, 06:44:45 pm »

Good for Vanessa. If she truly was a heavy Clinton supporter, then I applaud her for putting aside any petty differences and realizing that having a Republican in office would be much worse than having a Democrat whose personality seems to be the only thing keeping said "millions of Hillary supporters" from swallowing their ego and backing the party. She's voting based on policy, not based on any butthurt left over from the primaries.

I acquired her album a couple of weeks ago and it's a lot better than I thought when I sampled it the first time. I love "Forever Love", and I love love love "Shine". I can't wait for the new album.

Her album disappeared off iTunes a while back. Glad it's up again.

Completely Off-Topic / Pet Peeves

I guess I shouldn't be complaining when I'm downloading music illegally, but it kind of pisses me off when the maintainer of a music blog posts some page-long sob story about how "busy" they are... and then lock all of the entries. I fail to see the correlation between not having time to update and making it so that only five people can see the past year's worth of entries. I don't get it.

Also, she posted the statement in the middle of the week and said that she'd be locking it "next week"... I tried accessing it that Friday and couldn't. Sigh.

I don't suppose it really matters, because it was only one song I wanted. Oh well.

Other Musicians / Who sings that song? Who is in that music video? Ask here!

Anyone know the song in the background of the Old Navy commercial where they're all wearing sparkly T-shirts? They were advertising sparkly clothing, I think.
