April 2006 Music Diary
Push - The Cure
Gravity - Embrace
Life on Mars? - David Bowie
Love Changes (Everything) - Climie Fisher
Main Theme (Final Fantasy VII/Orchestral) - Nobuo Uematsu
Aeris' Theme (Final Fantasy VII/Orchestral) - Nobuo Uematsu
Bounce of the Sugar Plums - Don Byron
I like the Cure a lot, but I'd never heard the song "Push" before. I found it while reading the Celebrity Playlists in the iTunes music store. Apparently, the drummer from the Killers learned to drum from this song - it's quite catchy.
Embrace has a new album out in the UK right now. I haven't gotten my hands on it yet, but if it's anything like their previous stuff, it's really good. "Gravity" is one of their "wow, they sound JUST like Coldplay" songs. It doesn't hurt that Coldplay actually wrote this song.
A few weeks ago I recommended the BBC series Life on Mars. From watching it, the song got stuck in my head so I've been listening to it a bit this month.
Don't ask me why I've been listening to "Love Changes (Everything)". Just one of those 80s songs that I discovered late, it ended coming in one of my random mixes, and now it's stuck in my head.
I've been reminiscing about Final Fantasy VII, which had some of the most amazing video game music ever. A few years after the game, composer Nobuo Uematsu released a "Reunion" album, where he recorded fully orchestral versions of a few of the songs. They're just such huge sweeping scores - if you never played the game, you'd find it hard to believe that these songs are from a video game.
Lastly, I always end up playing some Don Byron from his "Bug Music" album. Way back when I was just hoping to be a writer someday, someone gave me the album - which has his versions of early 20th century tunes. The album is full of great tunes that I only knew from Looney Tunes shorts. Now that I write cartoons, I always end up going back to some Don Byron.
Again, not much in the way of new music this month. But if I hear Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" one more time, I'm going to throw my iPod at Ryan Seacrest's head. Well, I would do that ANYWAYS - but there's nothing like a song getting overplayed 150 times a week to make it go from "very nice" to "kill me now".
