jackofallgeeks-laughs out loud-
Dude, I LOVE The Intenet Movie Database! I was looking in there for a quote from Star Wars: A New Hope (oddly enough, no one ever uses the Subtitle, which is why, I think, The Matrix didn't even bother), and I saw a listing for StarCraft. So, being that StarCraft (and it's sister, Brood Wars) is my FAVORITE Real Time Strategy game ever, I think to myself, "Self, there's no WAY they made a movie about this that I didn't hear about. That would so rock!" Alas, fair reader, such joy was not to be mine, as there was no movie -- but they DO have all the cool quotes from the game! So I was like "Rock!" anyways. For Leslie's sake, I present:
[The Hummvee has hit a critter]
Lester: Looks like you mashed some poor feller's dog, Sarge.
Sarge: That ain't no dog. It's a Zergling, Lester. Smaller attack Zerg. They shouldn't be out this far unless....oh shit.
[They turn around and see several more Zerg standing between them and the Hummvee]
Lester: I love you, Sarge.
But that's not why I made this post... I think...
I love music. "The Soundtrack of Our Lives," and all that. A friend of a friend (who I've since decided is a really cool guy, for all of the 18 hours I've been aware of him) recently composed a piano piece for said friend, and it was REALLY cool. I had to DL Winamp t'listen to it, but I think MusicMatch can play .ogg's, too. Have I ever mentioned I love piano music? S'what got me into what little rap I can tollerate...
But that's not the point, either. I've always liked Alanis Morissette's music (though I can never spell her name right...), but especially since she got most of her angst and anger out, I can really relate to her songs. REALLY relate to them. Particularly, I was listening to this, and I thought it was really, really cool. -laughs- My brother, Josh, claims not to like her, and I've kinda made it a goal of mine to turn him...
Yeah, this post just ran out of steam...

Date: 2003-06-26 06:27 am (UTC)Dude, I haven't heard that album. But then, I've never been a big fan of 'unplugged music,' though maybe I should check it out. It was years ago when I saw the video of "You Ought To Know," my first encounter with Alanis. Since, I've enjoyed her songs, though I'm not so hot on a good deal of her first couple of albums (Jagged Little Pill and Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie are equally 50/50, I think). I have half a mind to go out and buy Under Rug Swept, though, which says alot (and as a point, I'm also interested in buying that Evanescence CD -- in both cases, I've already DLed most of the tracks, anyways...). I'm also curious to see what her older, Canadian, Bubblegum-Pop songs are like...
Regardless, I think what my brother doesn't like is the edge she has in alot of her older stuff, which I can kinda sympathize with (even if "You Ought To Know" is on my lkist of favorites). I'm sure that's pertinent to this post somehow.

I don't like her early stuff much... but in this album she simply oozes quality and the performance has a wonderful gentleness. It won me over despite the "edge" on her earlier stuff. Besides which there's a cover of King Of Pain on there that is absolutely incredible.
