Ugh. This has been such a hellish week at school. Something must be in the air or the water, b/c the kids are nuts this week. Bunch of hyperactive smartasses, the lot of them. Every teacher I know is praying for snow :)
I never got to my fave TV soundtracks, and left out several great movie soundtracks (big "duh" moment), so here is the continuation of my last post...
( More opinionated musical ramblings... )
ETA: Jeeves and Wooster! How did I forget this one? The voice of Hugh Laurie alone makes this an awesome soundtrack. The period music is a bonus - great pre-swing jazz of the 20s and early 30s. The theme music is good, and gets used in many ways during the series (fast and quirky for Bertie's antics, slow and gorgeous for more serious moments), and the other instrumental music is impressive as well (the big brassy theme music for Spode is really, really cool). I have so much fun driving in my car and singing along to "Minnie the Moocher", "Nagasaki", and "47 Ginger-Headed Sailors" :)
Well, that was fun. And I've made quite a bit of progress on comments and replies today, so hurrah. I'm really worn out today, so I'm gonna try and get to bed early again tonight. *yawn*
