say what

This Okean Eljzi song is saying "get up sweetie" but the Ukrainian word for sweetie sounds like the Russian word for soap. Ah the joy of Мягкий знак. It's not quite as good as Chinese inflections but when you involve two or more slavic languages it's pretty damn odd.

I have converted snarkaddict to the joys of The Matches via yousendit, and the file is staying up for a few more days so I think I will do some more evangelising. My favourite Matches songs except for The Restless and Audio Blood which I forgot because they were in a different folder. *looks sheepish*

and then, the applebox

Duran Duran is on TV and the singer is wearing an incredibly shiny shirt. It's like black vinyl or something, oh my god.

Dad: Oh, Duran Duran. They were common back in my day.
Me: They don't look that old.
Dad: ...
Me: UM I MEAN.
Dad: So anyway there's a bit of a comeback epidemic on at the moment...

Also I wrote things! Not very much but hey. A couple of paragraphs and some commentfic is not nothing. And I went for a walk in the rain and borrowed Alex's music textbook, which isn't exactly For Beginners but when have I not jumped into things feet first? It's not like I'm going to have to do exams on it.

I don't know if I've linked to Rob Newman here but y'all should watch that, he's pretty damn good.
