You remember Bodie from The Wire? One of the best characters, and he's all up in this video. Also one of my favorite posthumously released Pac songs:

YouTube - Ghetto Gospel

That's a sick video and song. Tupac's posthumous releases are so hit and miss, but there are some real gems. Have you seen Oz? The guy who plays Bodie is in that too; that's the first show I saw him on, actually.

GAF, I don't know if you're psychic, or if you knew about this and were for some reason suppressing the information, but look what link just dropped into my Facebook mailbox:

The Mo Song- Our Movember charity song | Hannah-Rei

I don't get it. They release The Beard Song and I grow a beard. Now there's The Mo Song (which I thought was a sequel to The Gay Song when I first saw the title) and I'm supposed to shave back to a moustache? Make up your mind, ladies.

It's nice that they're raising money to fund prostate cancer awareness, and on that note, I wouldn't mind checking their...uhh...to see if maybe they have a...umm...never mind.

This new song is really horrible, though.

I have not seen Oz although I do remember there being a lot of buzz about it back in the day and I'd like to watch it eventually. But since I just devoured The Wire, and it was such an intense TV watching experience, the next show I check out will probably be something a little more lighthearted.

It's just not the same without the live visual.

Wait, are you FINISHED with The Wire? Did you mention that before?

Probably a good choice, going for something a bit lighter. When you're up for it, I highly recommend Oz. It's interesting, at least after watching several series on HBO, how much the actors overlap between shows.

Obviously that wasn't directed at me, but once I started watching The Wire, I was through the entire thing in a few weeks...it was kind of crazy. The show's addicting though.

Indeed. Just finished it last week. The most engrossing TV show I've seen in a long time and definitely worthy of all its hype and praise. Omar is easily one of my favorite fictional characters of all-time. He's just the best.

Even though the scope of the story kept getting bigger and bigger, I think, as a whole, Season 1 is still my favorite. It did such a great job painting a picture of all the characters and their world.

lazarus · 11-22-2009, 02:16 PM

what's cool is that everyone seems to have a favorite season. I'm a big supporter of Season 2, which a lot of people find weaker because it tangents away from the Barksdale thing. I'm absolutely IN LOVE with Beadie Russell, so that might have something to do with it.

And yes, that S3 episode is one of the all-time greats. I hated Stringer Bell, BTW. Guy had a vision but no ethical or moral code.

I think Season 4 was my favorite overall. And, it's funny that Stringer Bell was your least favorite character; he was my favorite until he got gunned down. Sure, he didn't really have a moral code, but the guy was brilliant, trying to bring economic theories into dealing. If he would've balanced it out (and not been an idiot, giving money to Clay Davis and shit like that), the Barksdales would have been on top forever, I think.

Since this a random music thread, I want to ramble on a bit about the opera I saw last night. And Jesus, if one more person tells me Andrea Bocelli is an opera singer, I may have to get rough. Although I consider myself an opera novice, I've heard and seen enough to know that.

Anyway, it was an opera from 1724, by Handel, who is way up there on the list of Martha's fave composers. Tamerlano is full of short arias that showcase the singers' skills, and boy howdy did the singers last night have some skillz. First, there was Placido Domingo, who is as amazing as you think he is. This is the second time I've heard him sing, the first being in Die Walkure. He really is all that and a cup of coffee. I've always prefered his voice to Pavorotti's. He's about 65, and my God, he is stunning when he sings. Really masterful.

So, to be onstage with him, you'd better be good. The other five singers were nearly as good. (No one can be as good. Ever.) The countertenor was amazing. Countertenors are really high, so at times, it was hard to tell who was singing, the male countertenor or the mezzo-soprano. I was up in the cheap seats, and I'm blind as a bat, so good luck being able to see which one was singing. The mezzo was singing a role originally written for a castrato. Yes, it's what you think it is. So she was playing a man, and she did a damn fine job.

I loved the music as well, and the harpsichords were kept under control somewhat. The strings were lovely and it all sounded so great.

So there you go.

corianderstem · 11-22-2009, 09:42 PM

Bocelli is an opera singer like Michael Buble is a jazz singer.

If Bocelli weren't blind as a bat, no one would have given him a record contract as an opera singer. Nice voice and all, and yay for him etc etc etc, but come on.

martha · 11-22-2009, 09:52 PM

And has he ever sung in a real opera?
