And now, for a more cheerful post
Oct. 25th, 2011 05:11 pmFirst, as it is John Peel Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Peel), does anyone want to recommend any music? Any and all, of any style is obviously welcomed.
I shall do a little kicking off -
Me and You by Nero
Crush On You also by Nero - http://youtu.be/YWK6dQOdri0 Although the video is terrible.
I grant I am trying to un-earworm myself having caught the end of 'The Phantom of the Opera' last night. It's 'Masquerade' (http://youtu.be/Sg7xttUYaVE - someone has dubbed the pretty music pictures with a Phantom that can actually sing). I am most definitely not using this as an excuse to also post both the Michael Crawford (who for better or worse is my Phantom - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3nzhnE_rjQ&ob=av2n) and Antonio Banderas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ni55wE8M_aA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtyfLHP-d5U&feature=relmfu ) version of music of the night. Both, of course, have Sarah Brightman playing Christine.
And of course, the title song - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmI9gAyNPyE

In the sports, have my 10 favourite photos from the World Cup. None of which are Piri Weepu with small children because I'm aware coo-able does not a good photo make.
