Sing to Me, Muse

EVERYONE STOP. For your own edification you're going to have to research several things.

First of all, 900+ plays later, I just stumbled upon the Marcussen Album Version of Black & Gold for the first time ever. For a few months now, I've been listening to the single version basically all the time. The difference would only be noticed by someone who had listened to one version of the song 900 times -- as if a new wrinkle had shown up on the back of your hand -- but it struck me & I spent the next two hours listening to it. It was like listening to the same song from the opposite side of a window pane... I'm still on the fence about it.

Project #2: The quest for the song led me to Last.FM where I listened to the song numerous times & somehow ended up listening to Sam Sparro Radio. Last.FM > Pandora. So if you don't listen to Last.FM, -- I was probably the only one left -- start. & Sam Sparro Radio is that ish.

While listening, the song "Give Me Danger" by Dangerous Muse came on & I went into a seisure. I have since come to, but I did my research on Dangerous Muse & I LURVE it. They're a gay American band fronting as a British pan-sexual band from ambi-sexual America. I can feel the black glitter pumping through my veins & out of my sweat glands with every beat. They & many of the other groups popping up on SS Radio are part of a growing trend where musicians stop pretending they're not gay, & it's about time. If the masses stopped consuming gay products (particularly art) we'd probably be left with a box of crackers & a watered down Cistine Chapel. So the homos pulling the strings may as well own up to it... no one understands the strings as well as those being hung by them.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled cruising. La ilmomo ill-Momo. [MdG]
