La Música Romantica

As any of my regular readers know, I'm the sort of smartass who regularly posts links to the song S.E.X.Y.R.O.B.O.T. by Barcelona-based electronic musicians The Pinker Tones to various blogs. Yesterday, I found a lovely, lounge-y version of the song, featuring vocals by the brain-bustingly beautiful Virginia "Maestro" Diaz:





I really dig that version, because it reminds me of the hilarious lounge-y cover of Iron Man by The Cardigans, who were fronted by the brain-burstingly beautiful Nina Persson:





What my readers my not know is that I am a big Henry Mancini fan (A Shot in the Dark is a personal favorite). Imagine my delight when I found a video of the pulchritudinous Srta Maestro singing Moon River:





Que mujer hermosa, que música romantica... estoy totalmente enamorado.

you want romanticism?

Saturday night we went to the local musical theater to see a local chanteuse do a full night of Edith Piaf.

Je ne regrette rien.

Amusingly, she recalled some early reviews from her first American performances. One said she was a "plump, messy-haired singer whos repertoire was all depressing songs". Huh. Who knew Robert Smith was channeling Edith Piaf?

If by cool you mean hot...

I wonder what those reviewers would have written about Poly Stryrene.
