Ramblings: Let's Get It On!!!

Okay, just so you know, I'm not about to write something about boxing or that bloody UFC fight! Haha. Though, that write-up might be in the pipeline! 

Let's Get It On, perhaps according to an urban dictionary, signifies the start of a bout. But ask that to Marvin Gaye, and he'll give you a different, dare I say, 'sexier' perspective! Hmmm. Just to provide you a lil something from him and this term, here's a link (IKR, from Wikipedia)

The first time I heard this song I was so smitten that I had to listen to it over and over again! It's a sweet and sensual music to the ears. It calming! Very sexy, as well! It doesn't help that I had to repeat the scene from which it was used as a background music from the Nancy Meyers' movie Something's Gotta Give starring Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton. And wait, did I tell you that it was about-to-make-love scene? ;)

Then I heard comedian Jack Black sing this in the 2000 Stephen Frears's comedy drama High Fidelity, starring John Cusack! (heck that film has a lot of music to offer!!) Then, again, I fell in love with it all over again! You can watch Black on the video clip above! You might want to grab the film's OST, to listen to the full song, sang by Black himself! 

Ya ready?

Let's get it on!

P.S.
Might add a musing about the OST of High Fidelity soon! :)

Ramblings: Happy December!

Wait, let me just kiss November good bye! I welcomed December, writing scripts - yet again! And eternally revising them! But what's really good to note is that the Grammy Awards' nomination ceremony is just a few hours away, and the Victoria's Secret's Fashion Show is about to be shown in CBS, slated for today's release as well! Did I just hear about a $2 million bra? Wow, you gotta put a lotta investment THERE! Haha.

For the Grammys, I read that Adele may be rolling in the deep with the most number of nods ever! And Lady Gaga + Nicki Minaj might be in the running for many nominations as well. Let's just wait and find out the breaking story soon!

As for the VSFS, someone linked me up with this behind the scenes write up when it was taped last November 9 at Lexington Avenue Armory in New York City. So excited to see this year's ceremony because apparently, it set the trend to combine the best trends in fashion/lingerie + good music, all LIVE! Remember when Katy Perry and Akon, among others performed there? Or the time when Usher and J.T., rocked the stage, with the latter bringing 'sexy back'? Hmmm. Nice! Nice view! LOL

Well, that's how I started my December! Including a chance to enjoy several downloaded albums! And to name some, I've got the original soundtrack of Bridget Jones's Diary, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, The School of Rock, and High Fidelity to name some!

Well, apart from 'burning the midnight oil' so to speak, it was a good way to welcome December nonetheless! How about you?

Musings: OST- Breaking Dawn Part 1 (Deluxe edition)

I have been hearing rave reviews about the original soundtrack of the last part of the Twilight saga- Breaking Dawn, well in this case, part 1. Admittedly, I haven't watched the movie yet. Why? Because a) I am not a fan b) I haven't read the book c) I haven't watched all of its film adaptations d) all of the above? Hmmm. You know right? ;]

Well, even if I'm not a fan, or like any of the things stated above, there's no denying that I crave for good music. So, I might as well check this one out. Track listing anyone? Here ya go!

So, you see pop kids like Bruno Mars and Christina Perri are also on the OST. Interesting! While we don't initially think that they'd be included in the roster of artist who would be included in this soundtrack, they obviously have the pulling attraction for their fan base to go and grab a copy, regardless if they worship this film or not. Turns out, both the fans and not-so fans, love their It Will Rain and A Thousand Years. These songs have the unmistakable, sentimental melodies and lyrics that are sure combos to win the heart of the Twilight fans and romantics out there- cheesy and catchy altogether.

Kevin Teasley's Eclipse (All Yours) is light music for the ears. Relaxing! Aqualung and Lucy Schwartz's Cold is haunting and the harmony/slash/blending lingers so as Imperial Mammoth's Requiem on Water. While some of the tracks are slow, the others were upbeat: Theophilus London's Neighbors, The Belle Brigades' I Didn't Mean It, Noisette's Sister Rosetta (2011 version) among others.

It makes you want to sit back, and lets your mind wander and drift into the fantasy - the vampiric love affair and bloody melodrama- that are only seen during Breaking Dawn.

P.S.

There were times when this reminds me of the Grey's Anatomy OSTs

Oh and I know, we absolutely dread the Edward on the cover!! Haha
