Happiness! Extreme happiness!

Remember back in the day, when, if you didn't know the answer to a question and your friends didn't know it either, you just...never got the answer? Thanks to the wonders of wikipedia and teh intranets, those days are few and far between now...but not gone forever.

I am a huge fan of EDM/clubbing, and I have a ginormous collection of promo mix CDs by various DJs acquired in about six or seven countries. But the thing about promos mixes is that they tend not to list the individual tracks used in the mix. One of my favorite CDs is a 2005 mix with an awesome closer that mixes Amazing Track A with Amazing Track B. Thanks to google-fuing some lyrics, I was able to determine that Amazing Track B was some version of 2Raumwohnung's "Sex Secret." When youtube got big a few years ago, I was able to further narrow it down to this Moguai mix. But the lyrics to Amazing Track A are buried too far down in the mix, and it has eluded me for close to half a decade.

Incidentally, my newest fandom is Michelle Phan, who does makeup tutorials on youtube. I have freaked out no less than two friends within the past week by commenting on how good they look--which I never do. Turns out they weren't wearing makeup on those occassions, which should give you an idea about my attitude toward cosmetics in general. (I wasn't trying to be snide: I had no idea they weren't wearing makeup. I just unconsciously think people look better without it.) Still, it's fascinating to see how scientific makeup fans get about the whole thing, and Phan has a really melodious voice and wicked taste in music to boot.

Including Amazing Track A. OMG! After four years, I finally know what it is. It is Another Chance by a DJ set called Late Night Alumni. And I am pretty damn sure I have seen their albums at Parallax Records downtown. This has made my day.

That will be all.

Haha, the "Sex Secret" song should be put to footage of all the gender ambiguous characters of anime. Oh Japan. XD

The Late Night Alumni beats are pretty good. Yay Eurotechno! Have you heard of Roksopp? (Sp?)

Oh Japan indeed. And if you really wanted to screw with people, you could use the original German language version of the song.

Yeah, I am definitely going to have to look into what LNA albums/singles are available in Teramachi. I have a feeling that they may be responsible for more than one mystery track on my mix CDs.

And yes! I dig Royksopp mightily.

Can you send me some of these songs? I'm dying for international music that isn't traditional instrumentals. Although I did just find an awesome shakuhachi CD at the bookstore for three bucks.

Sure thing. What genres do you want first and where should I send it?

And shakuhachi? I'm tres envious!

I like alternative, rock, and stuff in between, plus if there's Asian punk... <3

And this came as news to you when?

Probably about eight years after you borrowed a CD and FINALLY brought it back! FYI, you will NOT be allowed to keep The Rasmus CD for that long!
