I just thought I'd take the time out to mention how awesome the album of Jekyll & Hyde (The Complete Work) is, particularly the song I Need to Know, where Jekyll is singing about how he must create this experiment to rid humanity of its evils... And Alive is pretty awesome, as well, and Bitch Bitch Bitch is kinda funny.
I really, really hope the musical comes to Melbourne sometime. They obviously won't be doing the entire thing, as it goes for two hours, but it would be brilliant to see it done professionally, nonetheless. (Or at all.) It makes me really want to read the book.
I also got the album to The Hunting of the Snark. It's a musical based off Lewis Carrol's poem, of the same name. I don't think many people know about that one, but it reminds me of my childhood. :) I used to listen to it with my best friend, as her mum is heavily into musicals and participates in amateur productions from time to time. I don't think she ever performed this one in particular, though, but the music has charm, for me. Particularly Children of the Sky and Dancing Toward Disaster.
The music is kind of old, though I can't pinpoint the era I suspect it's from. Kind of like Abba, I guess, with all the harmonies and the beat in the background and soft guitar kind of sounds...? But don't trust what I say, because I never listened to Abba. :P And the music changes. The Snooker Song reminds me of those old Australian children songs I learned in primary school.
Enough about musicals. On to alternative music! I haven't got much of their music, but The Weakerthans are pretty good. They wrote a song from the POV of a cat. :D It's so adorable. Plea From a Cat Named Virtue is what got me into their music in the first place. I find it really easy to listen to, although I showed it to a friend and she was bored of it. :P But then, she's an anime freak, and nearly anything not in Japanese or sung by people from Japan is lame to her, so she wasn't the best opinion to get. I should shove the music on to more people. :D
Okay, enough rambling about all that. I should go do my Viscomm homework. :P I'm proud of myself, though, for not ranting about my personal life. Seeing those past entries bugs me, sometimes.
