Neat. I'll be messing around with Vox to see what I think of it. (No idea if this will actually be a long-term thing. Honestly, probably won't, but we'll see.)

In other news... thanks to chaoticgoodnik, a magical musical adventure.

This is a twist on the Letter Meme. Instead of coming up with ten items for a certain letter, you come up with five song titles for a certain letter and explain why you picked them. If interested then leave a comment. I'll give you a letter. You post this blurb in your journal along with your list.

My letter is L.

Little Earthquakes - Tori Amos:

High school. High school, many of my friends, and a lot of the upheavals (and pre-growing up growing up) I did there tend to come back to me when I hear this song.

La Vie Boheme - Rent:

All the mayhem of the NYC trip, and the mayhem that seems to follow every time I get together with friends to see the touring cast.

Life's Incredible Again - The Incredibles (Michael Giaccino)

Such a good swinging piece. Lots of energy, hope, and just a bit of a fun wink and nod at you as you listen. The entire soundtrack's really great super hero music. If I end up writing a supers campagin at some point, listening to this soundtrack daily will probably be involved.

(The) Lumberjack Song - Monty Python

A reminder not to take yourself too seriously, and always get a chance to laugh a little at something.

Low Rider - Gary Hoey

Somewhere in the mists of time, I won a free CD from a local radio station, and they sent me Gary Hoey's instrumental soundtrack to The Endless Summer II. (Yeah, it's not so fun when the radio station picks the CD for you. :D) However, it's stuck with me over the years - lots of really neat electric guitar and percussion (I used to practice the drum parts on my drumset), and good cruising music.

So, um. Yah. :D

On the Incredibles soundtrack, I loved it at first, but the fact that the tracks are endless retreads of the same damn theme wore on me. If John Barry hadn't let his towering ego get the better of him and quit, I wonder what the result would have been...

The retreads don't bother me (or I don't hear them as much) because they fit the "James Bond" style of music really well to my mind, which was a lot of the same thing in those movies as well.

Besides, if the music is fun, I can deal with a bit of simplicity. (Especially when he does do something more complex - the Kronos sequences are a pretty good stylistic change from the earlier parts of the movie, and a nice touch.)

It was very enojyable, don't get me wrong. As someone on IMDB said a long while back however, I wonder how much better it might've been.

Perfectly in-theme for the movie though, yes.
