Sep. 18th, 2013 10:29 amSome things that make a post:
1. For anyone who was curious about the conclusion to the saga of Summer and the Pig-Dragon Boyfriend of Doom,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rachelmanija has generously and hilariously read and reviewed the sequel. THIS IS A SERVICE TO US ALL, or at least to me, since now I don't have to read it.
2. I can't believe it has taken me this long to discover that the apparently thriving French tradition of musical rock operas about various historical events includes theatrical MUSIC VIDEOS.
For the record: research into this musical, titled 1789: Les Amants de la Bastille, reveals that the little girl is Charlotte Corday, the angsty rock singer is Camille Desmoulins, and the lady who looks like Marie Antoinette is Marie Antoinette. The frenziedly breakdancing Bastille prisoner is an OC who I think leads the revolution. Presumably because of his breakdancing skills.
There are a bunch of other amazing music videos from the production (my other favorite is Je veux le monde, in which a girl group of militant musket-wielding Lovely Ladies sing about the Fronde, but Pour la peine features some amazing stripping-and-table-dancing and a sad chorus singing about the rights of man.)
Then of course there is Mozart: l'Opera Rock. I have only watched one of these videos yet, but all you need to know that it is called L'ASSASSYMPHONIE and features Salieri being tormented by ballerinas, corsets, and a dude in a Mozart wig with an electric guitar.
France: you have clearly stepped up your game. America! WHY DO WE NOT DO THIS. Why is Phantom of the Opera not being promoted on YouTube by music videos of the Christine banging an electric guitar while Raoul and the Phantom breakdance in the background?! I am now retroactively disappointed in every Broadway show I have ever seen.
3. Yuletide! After much deliberation (and plea-bargaining withgenarti to nominate stuff I didn't have space for), I think I have decided on my nominations:
7 Seeds (but which characters???)
20th Century Boys (KANNA AND KOIZUMI KYOKO and maybe Setsuko)
The Summer Prince (June and Bebel!)
Goddess of Fire (this is the epic pottery kdrama I am currently watching, I hope nominating it will get me to finish it before Yuletide! Anyway I want lady pottery mafia boss fic.)
