I loooooooove Ben Lee!!!!!!

His latest, the albom Rebirth of Venus is AMAZING!!!!!!!

Here is "I Love Pop Music":

I am one of the biggest Regina fans ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It says on my itunes that I have 66 of her songs! and i still don't have all of them!

Who's excited for Far on june 23rd???!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it will be 7:00 am here!!! I'll be checking then!!!!!!!!!

Off topic- but where is your siggie pic from?

Off topic? i'm afraid of being disappointed by the EP and the new music.

My siggie pic is just from the mika pic section.

Part of me is too excited for words...

and the other part is afraid of being disappointed

I suppose it was just the way he talked about it, most likely i will be ecstatic about it when it arrives.

Why does Mika's music make me go crazy... *ponders*

So I've listened to LICM about as many times as the U.S. national debt (which is going on a quadrillion for anyone who lives somewhere else and wouldn't know), but it still has never gotten normal. Sometimes when I listen to it I'll still laugh and say the same thing I did when I first heard him, "This is ridiculous!"

one thing is for sure, we can always expect to be suprised:wink2:

I thought I'd make a thread about this very talented fantasy artist Selina Fenech

This is an awesome picture of hers called Scared to Fly

Here is the link to her website where you can see the rest of her amazing collection

This word is fun to say:

portraiture

I saw it in an art gallery once and kept saying it over and over

I haven't read this thread comepletely, so I'm not sure if this point has been brought up already but...

I think the Disney inspired song where he talks about Cinderella and how imitated the birds with the flutes, is Toy Boy.

OMG I'm right!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just watched to the video blog again where he plays it and if you turn your sound up you can hear him start to sing "she's the meanest hag..." then you see him click something to turn it off.

I immediately thought of the Beach Boys with the OoO-ing part.

I thought of that too

about this whole Georgia thing...

I write poems sometimes and I've noticed that on occasion my brain will get infested with a certain word for a period of time and it ends up in a lot of my writing.

My favorite is definitly Good Gone Girl!!!!!!!!!!! I love the 'her name was Georgia and she was gorgeous" part!!!!!!!!

*subscribes*

I was so upset I couldn't be there but know I can watch these amazing vids!

Thanks so much!

erase is on my version of LiCM. It was bought online so i'm not really sure which version it is. I for one love that song, it is really sad, though

Lives in Pittsburgh? Not now.

Born in Pittsburgh? Yep.

Been to Pittsburgh? Uh huh.

Had a Primanti's sandwich? Yum!

Steeler Fan? You betcha.

 

Am I goin' dahntahn? Uh huh, right after I redd up the room and warsh

my clothes!

 

I wonder if there will be more than just the two of us here, though?

I have a feeling we're not alone

This thread is for anyone who:

-Lives in Pittsburgh

-Was born in Pittsburgh

-Has ever been to Pittsburgh

-Has ever had a Primanti sandwich

-Is a Steeler fan!!!!!

Celebrate the 'burgh!

Yinz goin dahntahn?

You're in Pittsburgh? I'm from Pittsburgh originally

 

And I'm sure Mika will get to Pittsburgh eventually -- he's been to DC and

Philly already, not so far from you. Pittsburgh will be on the list down the

road.

I sure hope so... I don't exactly have the means just go wherever to see a Mika show

Although I've been excited for the new album for a long time recently I started thinking about what it will be like. I've never really thought about it before, in the back of my mind I thought it will be a shadow of LICM maybe, a crowd pleaser and toned down a little.

I can already see a shadow of LICM forming – (I know at least one of these songs won't be on the album) but to give an idea:

 

 

Grace Kelly

Lollipop

My Interpretation

Love Today

Relax – How Much Do You Love Me

Any Other World

Billy Brown – Holy Johnny

Big Girls

Stuck In The Middle

Happy Ending – Rain

 

Do you see what I mean??!

And to fans of these songs:

I love How Much Do You Love Me. It's catchy and full of potential- you could do so much with it.

As for Rain: it's constructed of meaningful words and showers of pretty notes but for some reason it just doesn't feel right to me.

But anyway looking at that I realize that’s not what I WANT.

I hope Mika has a trump card down his sleeve- do you think it's possible he's written another Grace Kelly- I use "Grace Kelly" as a phrase: perhaps he has a brilliant song in the works. I want Mika to be king of the charts again and not mr. one-hit-wonder.

 

Anyway, opinions?

racinghorse83, I'm amazed! we think exactly alike! I'm not even kidding I thought almost that exact same thing! I even paired those songs together in my mind! And I also thought about the demos I've heard, seeing that there wasn't really a Grace Kelly or Love Today in the bunch. but of course nothing really close to them (I don't want a LICM shadow either) Although seriously, could you really picture Mika's next album without some amazing happy singles? Isn't that why we fell in love?

On Love Today, I always thought it was the words in the CD booklet, but I did notice the "never stood on my own two feet feet" thing. Maybe its on purpose, possibly a play on the sung words "two feet." But doesn't it almost seem like a typo? I wonder if anyone else noticed this in that booklet, on the last page where the credits are for Grace Kelly:

Keyboards/Background Vocals: MIKA

Drums: Greg Wells Guitar: Lyle Workman, Greg Wells

Greg's last name was accidently bolded.

Yes!!!!!!!! I am extremely frustrated! Mika won't come anywhere near Pittsburgh Pennsylvania!!!!!!!!

i loved that! really well thought-out and organized. My favorite was the "bringing you lover to meet the family" part. I only wish that that youtube video was still there!

I don't know if a thread like this already exists, but here it goes

If anyone has pics of Mika in glasses/spectacles, whichever you prefer to call them, you should post them here.

Thank you!

there could be a shop of all the crazy stuff Mika collects, tofu dolls, brightly colored watches, tomagotchis, etc.

I had this one dream about Mika. Nothing very special or notable happened in it, I just talked to him. But it was one of those dreams that was really really vivid. I could just feel his presence. It was absolutely amazing!!
