Time flies... and music is reborn...

Someone made me aware tonight that my MySpace headline was about 2 months old. You can see how much I update that page these days now that FB has come along, LOL. But I updated it anyway... layout, profile pic, playlist, etc. Especially playlist.

But that person reminded me of a genre of music I haven't listened to in a while... yet love. So it was fun to listen to some stuff I haven't heard in a while... Project Pitchfork, Wumpscut, Rammstein, Assemblage 23, VNV Nation, etc. Great stuff!!

LOVE!!!

Dance and Celts and Music and stuff....

So, I Tivo'd 'Superstars of Dance' a while back, but tonight was the first night I caught it. Not sure how many episodes I missed.... 1, 2, 3, 4? Anyway, it rocked!! I know many people aren't into reality shows, but this is 90% dance, 10% reality. I love that it's the dances of the cultures of Ireland, India, USA, Argentina, China, Russia, South Africa and Australia. Some traditional, and some just creative. But all awesome!!

I didn't realize until tonight that Michael Flatley was the primary host. LOVE HIM!! Sure, many years ago I thought he was an arrogant ass. But that didn't diminish his talent in my mind. I have watched Riverdance and Lord of the Dance probably 15 times each. I'm addicted to it. It almost makes me teary (in a good way) watching it because I would kill to see the show in Ireland. Not sure why, but I always found fascination with Scotland, Ireland and the Celtic culture. Whether it be the knot design work, the landscapes and sites, the people, dance or the music. I've been to England, Scotland and Wales, but never to Ireland, and that remains one of my top 2 places to visit (there and Egypt).

Well anyway, this all prompted me to put on my DVD of Lord of the Dance to cap off the night before heading to bed. I can watch it over and over again.as I love it so much.
