It’s A Sick, Disgusting Job

But it’s gotta get done!

It’s spring summer who cares cleaning time here at the TLS Headquarters. I have so much stuff that needs to be thrown out. I have to evaluate each piece of paper and every single knick-knack that comes my way before I dispose of it. I am doing a better job today, cutting loose things that are simply unnecessary. It’s been an adventure as I have already jammed, and unjammed, a paper shredder. And of course, I vacuumed up the paper clip that I used to unjam the paper shredder.

What does this have to do with Japanese music?

I have to stay motivated to clean! Otherwise, I’ll slack off and spend the day reminiscing, reading lousy undergrad papers and old birthday cards. I need so music that isn’t boring (Aya Matsuura ballads need not apply) to keep me awake. So here’s my playlist for the job:

the brilliant green

  • Bye Bye Mr.Mug
  • Ai no Ai no Hoshi
  • Stand by me
  • Tsumetai Hana
  • You and I
  • Mister Moon
  • Falling Star In Your Eyes
  • That Boy Waits For me
  • Kuroi Tsubasa
  • Day After Day
  • Sono Speed de
  • Rainy Days Never Stay

Do As Infinity

  • Another
  • Kuusou Ryodan
  • Good For You
  • Wadachi
  • Kagaku no Yoru
  • Oasis
  • Tangerine Dream
  • Tooku Made

GOING UNDER GROUND

  • Train
  • Twister
  • Sentiment Express
  • MIRAGE
  • RUMBLE

BoA

  • Shine We Are!
  • DO THE MOTION
  • Sparkling

Namie Amuro

  • WoWa
  • GIRL TALK
  • NEW LOOK
  • ROCK STEADY
  • WHAT A FEELING
  • Never Shoulda

I’m also listening to Arcade Fire, not that it really applies to anything else here.

Voices In My Head - Go Away!!

Raid wants me to go insane.

He has a post about what voices he would marry. Yes, only the voice.

The thought of marrying only a voice is truly a horrifying one to me. A disembodied voice could theoretically follow you wherever you went. You could not escape it. Furthermore, if you got into an argument with your vocal spouse - think of how insane you’d appear. Oh, you could try to tell the men in white that you are not crazy; that you are just married to a voice. That’ll get you far. In the end, you’d be locked in a room with padded walls, rocking back and forth as you argue with your spouse (who only you can talk to and hear) about who left the milk out on the kitchen table.

That being said, if I am going to go insane, I’d like to do it with the following:

- Orson Welles. I can’t be the only person who has wanted Orson Welles to narrate their life. My boring life would be poetic and interesting if Orson was dictating.

- Sou Matsumoto. Of Going Under Ground. His voice isn’t that strong and powerful type. It’s not sultry or sensuous. It is just pleasant on my ears. If I were to delve into insanity by being married to a voice that only I could hear, I wouldn’t mind it being his.

- Bonnie Pink. Again, not the best singing voice or anything. It’s not sexy or booming. It’s just that right flavor or pleasant that I’d be fine with for the rest of my days.

- Randy Savage. As in Macho Man Randy Savage. Come on, that’d be GREAT. If I want Orson Welles to make my life more poetic, I’d want Randy to make it absolutely insane. Because he’d take me to The Danger Zone, east of the Pacific Ocean, west of London, England, south of Mars, and north of Hell.

- Koharu Kusumi. If I am going to go out, I am going out IN STYLE.

I just realized that there’d be no backing out of this marriage. In a divorce, all the voice could take would be half of your brain. I’ve already lost so much of that watching Haromoni -I can’t afford to lose anymore.

Solving the WGA Strike

Being infected with the plague, I was not able to get into a routine of doing an entry as often as I hoped. I am just now checking out the PVs of The Possible - Happy 15 and Morning Musume - Mikan. I really like both so far and hope to talk about them later. There is also a new Going Under Ground album that has crept up on me.

With the WGA on strike, there has been a lot of talk about what will happen to American television. The fall season of television is all but certain to be cut short. We may see reruns sooner than expected. NBC may even air the original, British version of The Office. If the WGA strike really lasts until and through 2008, reruns and different versions of shows will only go so far. People want original programming. I see a chance!
