Yes. Did you discover MIKA on the radio?

Yes, finally! Although it's supposed to be rainy and chilly again tomorrow and all next week Do you have curly hair?

Hehehe, I am a high Soprano, but I tend to linger in the second soprano range because I'm stronger in that area I've been wanting to start singing again for soooooo long...you have to be a music major to be in the choir. Boo

Yes, I love tea! But not green tea Are you in school?

No, they are smelly and mean. Do you wear perfume/cologne?

I'm a singer I used to do Opera stuff but not so much since I graduated high school. I've been looking for a band though. Next time I go to my parents' house I will bring back a CD of me singing and post it

The money thing is so true. It's so sad that record companies just make these assumptions about their prospective audiences and in turn, we don't get to hear about good music. It makes me wonder what else we're missing here in the states. I'm so happy MIKA actually did break the top 30 here, although I never did catch Grace Kelly on the radio no matter how many times I tried Believe it or not my boyfriend introduced me to MIKA. He had heard Grace Kelly on the radio and thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, came home and told me about it and overnight we've created a MIKA-lovin' monster I guess the radio stations that did play Grace Kelly are kind of our saviors here in the states. I tried to attach my paper bt it was too big if you really want to read it I can send it in a private message

"Sunday Morning"-No Doubt

For the most part yes. A lot of it has to do with homophobia. While we don't know if MIKA is gay or not, he is very campy and appears in a lot of gay press. Scissor Sisters have gay members as does The Feeling...it's just interesting to see how unwilling American audiences are percieved to be when it comes to accepting gayness in any form in their music...it's obvious that there's a market for campy music, but a big part of it is that a lot of the big corporations who control radio are very conservative. Therefore, we are left with no MIKA on the radio

I talked a lot about Scissor Sisters as well and The Feeling. Just bands in general who are HUGE in other countries and hardly get a chance here in the States.

I wrote a paper yesterday regarding the music industry and how many artists don't get airtime due to the Monopolization of US radio stations, and of course I referenced MIKA in an entire paragraph When my research involves going to the MFC...of course I got 100%!!

I love The Feeling! It's a shame they aren't as popular here in the states seems to be that way with anyone good 12 Stops and Home is such an amazing CD, it's so addicting!

I 've also never heard of her, but in all honesty, MIKA doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would just be outright mean like that. If he did in fact refuse a pic, I'm sure she must have been VERY rude. Or the more likely situation: it was awkward, MIKA didn't hear her ask or got distracted by something more important and she took it personally that for once a man wasn't hypnotized by her looks.

ooooohhhhhhh...I used to be such a night owl...the wee hours of the morning still call out to me but now I have a job that I have to get up at 7 for Boo! Boo at the needing of money!!

I KNEW there would be a Hanson thread on here! You have no idea how obsessed I was...I still LOVE them My boyfriend bought me The Walk for my birthday, it's so amazing. I go see them every time they come to Portland (which isn't very often )

LOVE LOVE Scissor Sisters. Prolly my second fave after MIKA. I bought their first album on a whim because so many people kept telling me MIKA sounded like them (I don't really see the connection) but I LOVED the album. I waited a bit before buying Ta-Dah! and it's pretty much on constant rotation in my CD player...taking turns with LICM of course

Oh...man..my friend and I were SO OBSESSED with QAF in high school. Weekends were "reserved QAF party time"

"Violence"-Blink 182

I died. Just now. I am dead. This is my Zombie writing this.

I will, thank you!

Thanks for all the help everyone, I got the shirt today and it's a perfect fit!

GLEE!!! A Fanson! I'm listening to "Blue Piccadilly"-The Feeling

It was so cold outside when I met him all I could smell was the ice crystallizing in my nose...

"The World At Large" Modest Mouse

"Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore: A. Vade Mecum"-The Mars Volta
