See Who's to 'Blame'

Hey, just wanted to issue a quick apology for totally not keeping up with my planned pace of an album-a-day for my 20 favorite albums of 2009. Turns out homework is still pretty time-consuming. Oh, and I simply cannot look away from the fascinating camerawork and costuming in Mika's video for his upcoming single "Blame It On the Girls," to be released on February 15th. (Let's hope this song actually gets some airplay in the States!)

Enjoy:



I'll admit, the video's not as spectacular as "We Are Golden," but "Blame It On the Girls" has always been one of my favorite songs on his album. (Wondering where - if anywhere - that album will fall on my top 20 countdown? You might have to hang on til the end to find out) ;)

A Few Open Letters about Tarnished 'Golden'

Dear Calvin Harris and Bob Sinclair,
Please stop trying to remix "We Are Golden." It is perfect the way it is.

Dear Mirwais,
I don't even know how to respond to someone who wants to turn that into a dance song.

Dear Mika,
I love how tickets for your Europe tour go on sale today, but can you please, please, pretty please grace us folks on the other side of the pond with a show or two? Pretty please with a cherry on top?

And finally, dear people actually reading this (cuz Mika toootally reads my blog...,
I swear I am going to start posting regularly again in a few weeks. Then you will have all the information you could ever want to know about Mika's epic concert in Paris, the one music video channel I have seen that appreciates him, and stuff about Owl City, a crazy Scottish boy in a lion hat (hint: he sings, er, plays the minor UK electropop hit"Lion Hat"), and the most severe injury I have ever suffered in a mosh pit. Also, I promised I'd finish the stories of my Warped Tour adventures and Martin Johnson's tongue action. But for now, I'd just keep spinning The Boy Who Knew Too Much if I were you. Or if I were me.
