music of longing and bleach »

so in college i wrote this paper about the music in wkw's in the mood for love. which necessitated my listening to its soundtrack about 1000 times. so even though it was over a year ago, i still have all the music pretty much memorized.

and just now as im sitting i hear the piece yumeiji's theme playing on the tv. i used that piece as a prime example of how wkw expressed the longing and restraint found in tony leung and maggie cheung's relationship ... and now it's a freakin clorox ad. sweet.

original my ass »

gwen stefani is soooo original.

so original, in fact, that her hit rich girl was a remake of a cover.

when rich girl came out, i was like, wtf this isn't a new song. and everyone was like yeah it is, its gwen, it just came out. and after countless hours of searching online, i found the original -- rich girl by minchie one and louchie lou, which was on the reggae all-stars hip hop album which came out in 1994.

so the original gwen "asian fetish" stefani remade that song, changing exactly two things: the singers. instead of minchie one and louchie lou, it's gwen stefani and eve.

puke. my disdain for her grows by the second.
