Take a Bow

I really do just love them.

Muse’s new album came out 2 weeks ago and I LOVE it.

It still has the epicness, it still has a few good solos, it has a few songs that make me want to dance like Anthony Michael Hall in ‘Sixteen Candles’, and then it has those beautifulsymphony tracks at the end. The progression they are making makes me think of Radiohead, which is a very good thing.

I was worried when they started playing tracks on Triple J. I love Muse dearly and didn’t want to have to deal with the unpleasantness of one of your favourite bands turning a bit crap.

But once you listen to the whole album, you get it.

And yes, I did cry when I listened to it. I am a little pathetic in that way. Okay, very pathetic.

I hope they come to Australia soon because I am simply dying to hear ‘Uprising’ and ‘Unnatural Selection’ live!

I give it two very enthusiatic thumbs up.

Don’t you forget about me

Today is a sad sad day.

John Hughes has died of a heart attack at the age of 59.

I am devestated.

For those who don’t know, John Hughes was a brilliant movie director that created such movies as The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Buellers Day Off, Sixteen Candles, Weird Science & Uncle Buck. He was a genius.

Sigh.
