Things I Love Thursday!
"'Cause I do not accept any less
Than someone just as real, as fabulous
Don't want no paper gangsta,
Won't sign away my life to
Someone who's got the flavor,
But don't have no follow through."
--Lady Gaga.
+Perspective
+The end of this video makes me happy. They're being goofy, and Romeo's amused!face! Love them so much. <3
+These two interviews. The first one is with Kiro, Cinema Bizarre's bassist, and my favorite part is when they ask him who the band would cannibalize first if they were trapped on a desert island, and he says no one! The second one is with Romeo, the band's keyboardist, and Yu, the band's guitarist. My favorite part is when they ask who's the biggest jerk in the band, and Romeo's all faux-innocent, "I don't know... It's time to go..." and walks off. And the beginning is super-cute, with Romeo mistaking "male fans" for "mail fans" and then rambling about music (<3). And I love how clearly he and Yu are BFF. It's so cute.
+My mom is starting to remember the names of the members of my favorite band! Epiiic. (If you haven't guessed, my favorite band is Cinema Bizarre.)
+ Love them. So much.
+CB.TV 08! The song you'll hear is called "My Obsession", and I can already tell it's going to be one of my favorites on the new album (ToyZ, which comes out August 21st), along with... well, everything. There's been nothing I've heard that I haven't adored. "Dark Star", "Je ne regrette rien", "ToyZ", and "I Came 2 Party" are all particularly amazing. (So is "Deeper and Deeper", but I've kind of been all over that since they played it at the Italian TRL awards and offered it for free download on their website.) I also really like the huge emphasis on just how important music is to them, how they couldn't imagine doing anything else with their lives (see CB.TV 05 with Romeo and CB.TV 03 with Shin). Music is this huge, overwhelming thing for me that touches every area of my life; the only thing more important is writing, and so how could I not love a band who feels the same way? (Not necessarily about writing. I mean about music.) I also love the black-and-white effects; the editing on this video is supreme.
