*hums*

Okay, how is it possible that NO ONE ON MY FLIST managed to tell me that Greta Salpeter had a song up from her solo project?

I had to find out because arielchan and junebug_waltz were excited about Gold Motel playing with Empires, and I went "Who's Gold Motel?" and Googled it.

GRETA FUCKIN' SALPETER, THAT'S WHO.

You're all on notice. *glares*

That said, I really like the demo version. I noticed on Goodbye Blues that a few of the tracks had a kind of Motown vibe (an impression reinforced when they played Martha & the Vandellas' "Heat Wave" during soundcheck); this gave me the same feeling. I personally love that -- our mom raised us on Motown and other 50s/60s oldies music, so there's something very familiar about it, in addition to being catchy as hell. And then you mix in Greta's lovely voice, and her always-slightly-eerie lyrics, and I'm left going ALBUM NOW, PLZ.

:D

Okay, Thursday TV was just WIN all around this week

First, there was ( Fringe 2.10 Grey Matters; spoilers for this and previous eps )

Okay, that last point got somewhat out of hand and manifesto-y. I admit, I've had Olivia/Peter on the brain after someone's Yuletide request sparked off an idea, which is very ironic, since I'm not actually participating in Yuletide this year. Hopefully I will have time to write my idea up after the damn thesis is finished, because I quite like it, and because I don't want all that rambling to be for naught. :)

I love the way this show consistently ties memory and the past into its episodes. History weighs everything down with its constant presence; more than anything, I think this is what gives Fringe its ghost-story tone. It can be a very somber show, for all of the delightful sci-fi shenanigans and mad-scientist humor and Casablanca references (<3).

Okay, I'm really done with Fringe now. On to ( Bones! )

And then there was ( 30 Rock 4.08 Secret Santa )

Man, if only I could put this kind of energy into writing my damn paper...
