Happy things

- rdyfrdes and especially madandys comments to that whiney entry of mine. Thanks, guys *sniffles*
- Reading the finished version of Hear no Evil. Awww <3 <3 <3
- Kai picture thread over at the GR forum. Maybe I'll contribute to that later ;)
- There's an important culture festival taking place right now. Mum and dad got tickets for the Bob Geldorf concert. And yesterday, mum found out that not all places in the venue are seats *lol* (quoth mum: "I paid one helluva lot of money so I wanna sit!!!")
- Mum's choir got anohter competition next weekend and for one of their songs, everyone has to wear/hold something you'd associate witth rain. She wanted to buy one of these yellow rubber hats, but didn't find one so she made one herself. It looks cool (wish she'd allow me to take a pic of her in it T_T), only problem is it's not yellow but ORANGE *rofl*
- I solved the problem of constantly changing plugs while switching from headset to speakers and back which would eventually have killed the plugs. Funnily enough, dad gave me the idea by getting an USB headset for mum. Well, she didn't wanna switch so I bought one myself. And it even has 5.1 sound. Woah O_o
- Listening to "The Arockalypse" again and again and... well, you get the picture ;) Gawd, I adore this album to pieces!

BTW, A Very Happy Birthday (and lotsa pressies'n'Rods XD) to achtanablah!!!

Hee hee ^^

14 Neo - Disco Fire
15 Sophie - Drive In The Night
16 SCP All Stars - Big Heart
17 Alvin - Dream Of You
18 Ale - If You Ever Leave Me

Sounds interesting, especially the new song by Garcon (Geez, I've become such a Hi NRG Attack fangirl XD) and SCP All Stars. And again, tons of new names...

The Eurobeat article on Wikipedia has really expanded since I went there for the last time. Lotsa intersting theory has been added. It now even has a scary table trying to list Eurobeat artists and their real names. Well, good luck with that X_x

I also grabbed "Take me higher", one of Dave Rodgers' albums. Did that mainly out of boredom cuz I expected to already know all of the stuff that's one there from SEB and other compilations. Well, I was wrong. Most of the stuffwas unknown to me.
The most interesting songs are the title track (guitar-heavy Eurobeat at its very best) and a cover of - drumroll - "Smoke on the water". Reading the title made me laugh out of amusement and disbelief, but it's really the perfect thing for Davey to do. And finally, good ol' Signore Pasquini managed to catch me completely off guard with the final song, "Let it be" (not the Beatles one). That thing is just a Rock ballad, no synths, no drum samples, just real instruments (even acoustic guitars!) and Dave singing O_o And I always knew he's better than most of his tracks make him sound!
Dammit. Now I want "Blow your mind" (Davey's Rock album) but can't find it anywhere =_= Isn't it ironic that we're both Europeans but I'd have to import his CD from Japan if I wanted it?

€dit: WTF?!? I also got a CD called "Super Eurobeat presents 70's Dance Meets 90's Beat" (Fun stuff, BTW *lol*) and it includes a cover of "Dschingis Khan". When I read that I thought "Wait a second, that one is in German, so did they write new lyrics or...?". It turned out that Tomas Marin (Mega NRG Man) who sings the thing seems to know German, at least he doesn't have even a hint of an accent. Well, it makes sense for AFAIK, he lives in Switzerland. Not bad, hehe XD
