i was in a terrible rush today after watching batman begins. (mini-review: it redeems the franchise quite a bit, actually–but i won’t ruin it for you. they are a bit overdramatic, though. christian bale is a pretty good batman, they flesh out the origin pretty well, and katie holmes does a nice job of looking pretty, although her character is not fleshed out enough. the rest of the supporting cast is not bad, but not great. overall, worth seeing, especially for five dollars, including free popcorn.)

ANYWAY, the music. yeah so i was listening in a terrible rush. but this has nothing to do with anything. actually, i downloaded a random french song at work from a coworker to show him how ourtunes works (see http://ourtunes.sourceforge.net/). WHO IS JOHN LELOUP? he makes decent music. he sings in french. he’s like a french _____ from the one track i heard. (i need to fill in this blank, but he definitely reminds me of SOMEONE. maybe travis. that would explain a lot.) at first i thought coldplay, but they seem to be stuck in this infinite loop of arena feel-goodness with meaningless lyrics; john leloup is not. (of course, i’ll have to improve my french to understand this song better.) i think he is canadian. whatever, i like, i like. i think tomorrow i will be demonstrating the use of ourtunes again, mwahaha.

whaaaaaaa?

billy corgan reviving the smashing pumpkins? now that’s great. i think. who knows, actually. i need to listen to his new album.

somebody put up a poster at mit (building 4) advertising a polyphonic spree cover band. they’re doing it for the love of the music, because it would be hard to divide any profits 23 ways. hey–that’s what they said. i wonder if they’ll be any good. it must be hard to hear all the little parts. i wanted to join, but it looks like they have enough people, because all the little tear-off tabs with the phone numbers were gone.

yes, i’m posting again. hopefully, a daily muse on some music, a song i listen to, old, new, who cares, whatever the hell i feel like.
