( Cut for utter shameless geekery ^^ )

Also, Super Eurobeat Vol. 171 is out. Currently getting it. And hopefully, Initial D Fourth Stage D Selection 3 will be available soon as well since it's released on the same day (today). I am a very happy geek bunny indeed ^_~

€dit: Finally managed to come up with a decent new user info.

Track listing for SEB 169 seems to be complete:

01 A. Gordon - Say Yeah
02 Candy Taylor - Eurobeat Kind Of Love
03 Gipsy Baby - Oh Honey Oh
04 Lou Grant - Maharaja Night 2006
05 Bombers - Mr. Frankenstein
06 Lolita - Hot For Your Love
07 Garcon - Super Kaiser
08 Norma Sheffield - Love Can Be Your Game
09 Kiki & Fancy - Roly Poly Rock
10 Yellowfin - Welcome To The Beach
11 Rose - Magic Rainbow
12 Cy-Ro - Get The Dark Side Into My Brain
13 Christine & Van T.K. - Now Celebrate
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

(in no particular order)

- Watched episode one of Hoshi no Kaabi and almost died of severe sugar shock <3

- Arrived at mum's car (cute, little Corsa) only to find it standing unlocked, keys in ignition, in front of our house. Do they want it stolen that badly?

- Cuddled my little Goleo plushie that arrived today

- Cancelled an order at Nuclear Blast cuz I want a new HDD first

- Saved yet another day cuz mum forgot to record her favourite show last night, but fortunately (for her) I did tape it :3

- Listened to SEB 167 like, ten times in a row. The improvement compared to Vol. 166 (which sucked big time) is almost unearthly O_o

- Talked to hun who finally found a hardcore otaku friend to chat with *happy for him*

- Played family taxi once again (both to our lunch [chips and sausages for the guys, kebap for the girls] and to bro *lol*)

- Had coffee and cake on our veranda - big fun indeed =)

- Discovered that at least some of my computer's regular crashes are caused by the graphics card's drivers =_=

Yeah. In half an hour, I'll be going offline to play some We Love Katamari. Still didn't make it past the bleeding tutorial >:O
C ya tomorrow *waves*

I really need to stop paying attention to the lyrics of Eurobeat songs X_X
It just occurred to me that the song "Lovebreaker" by one of my favourite artists Mako is about a virgin-hunter *stares*
Sometimes I really do wonder what those Italians think. And I have to stop blaming stuff like that on their limited knowledge of English as well. Those can't always just be accidents!
On the other hand, I like how certain songs have obvious gay references (can't think of a good example, but they do exist ^_^;;;). But then, these could very well just be my imagination. I mean, it's not like I'm seeing stuff like that everywhere, but... er... you know what, forget what I just said, OK? *cough*

Will be gone til Sunday evening (which doesn't mean that I won't be able to comment, I just won't be writing any posts myself).
Oh, I just remembered that we'll be watching "Brothers Grimm" this weekend. Yay, finally!!!
And I need to take Kan-chan (my laptop) with me so I can grab all of the new SG-A episodes from hunny. And wasn't there this torrent I sent to him asking him to DL the stuff that was in it?
Haven't even asked about that yet O_O

I also sent him the link the Japanese Gamma Ray promo video that caused my brain to almost fail yesterday (XD). He wanted to see Kai singing in Japanese. Uh-oh. Somehow, I think that was a mistake O_O;;;

BTW, fear my newest Kai icon. He looks SO HOT with his eyes painted black :)~~~~
(No Tokio Hotel references, please ;P)

Saw the English trailer for Corpse Bride on MTV last night. Looks awesome, even though I'm pretty sure they're gonna fuck up the dub real bad.

Got Super Eurobeat Vol. 161 and it's super terrible, apart from the Dave Rodgers song.

Still no news about my laptop...

And now, it's scanning time! "Powerplant" booklet, here I come ^_^
