after sooo many hours of sleep I lost count & some of the strangest dreams I've ever had I awoke for what had to be the fiftieth time this morning and turned on the tv (in case you didn't know, my wisom teeth were brutally removed from my head yesterday morning, so yeah, I'm a little drugged right now)...
anyways, I turned on the tv and there was this beautiful video on that channel that, despite it's name, rarely actually shows music (at least none worth listening to)...
I was stunned because as far as I could tell I was awake & thinking fairly rational thoughts & yet here was this video that looked & sounded great and, are those girls kissing? I'm not talking about that porn-like kind of kissing they've been displaying in rap videos lately, this was deliciousely sweet, real girl kissing, the kind you don't see between girls who are just doing it because somebody offered them money (and if you don't know the difference you have my condolences, wait, no, you don't).
next I grabbed my laptop and this is what I found...
t.A.T.u
"When I first heard this duo described as 'a pair of teenage Russian lesbians' I thought: 'Oh God, here we go, another of those annoying novelty pop packages. then I played the record and I thought: 'Blimey. If this is cynical, processed pop, give me some more!' because I'm ahamed to say, I think it's totally and utterly fantastic. Here is yet another teenybop act you'd love to loathe but can't because they're so damn talented. I know it's sacrilege to say so, but I think their cover The Smiths' 'How Soon is Now?' might even be better than the original.
