quesarahDon't ask me why I have the Smiths stuck in my head. It's not a condition that pleases me, in fact I'm doing everything I can to get them the hell outta there! Currently I'm listening to Maxwell and he's helping to evict them. Cross your fingers, cats.
Well I may have an idea-- last night I heard a cover of "Please Let Me Get What I Want." That's quite possibly the most self-pitying miserable little song ever written, and I don't understand why anyone would want to cover it. May as well just cover "I Know It's Over:" Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head... I know that similar themes are addressed in blues music, but you almost never run the risk of getting your ass kicked for listening to the blues. Crikey.
(See. I told you I'd been wanting to use "crikey." I finally gave in. Hopefully the urge will now pass.)

virginmartyr1 and I had no luck at the Border's this weekend. Apparently no one knows about college a capella groups. Super neato goodness. So I need to dig around to find any music. Lookit me dig. Dig, me, dig!

oh so i guess you probably don't want any other info at the moment. ok, i'll hold off. (ok but it has to do with two a capella events in LA coming up..inquire inside if interested). a capella is wheee fun...however, even though i've been listening to it way too much over the last few days, i still believe i would be absolutely horrible at trying to arrange the songs. so that's up to you slugger. may the force be with you. na nu na nu.

Date: 2004-01-28 06:44 pm (UTC)yes. i did not forget. i just have not made them yet...i will do so this weekend and get them to do. sorry for the delay in payment.

Feb 21st at USC is the ICCA (International Championship of Collegiate A Capella) West Region Southern California Quarter Finals. It is from 8-11pm (which is late and kind of sucky). Groups that will be competing include USC Reverse Osmosis, USC Sirens, Mt. SAC Fermata Nowhere, UCSB Naked Voices UCSD TriTones and U. of Arizona Vocal Ease.
The second event I haven't been able to find too much info on so i'm not entirely sure it's actually happening. but i read somewhere that the California A Capella Festival is March 6th at UCLA. details are pending my further investigation.
:)
i found more sites with music to download. it's a sickness. have you found you are brilliant at arranging songs? i hope so. cause it's not going to be my forte.
