if it ain't baroque, don't try to fix it

I have been reading reviews of various Muse albums and I just have to say to the reviewers: you know, it is possible to like Thom Yorke *and* Matt Bellamy.

Which is to say, yo, I love Muse a whole hell of a lot, but I also love Radiohead, so please to stop bashing on that magnificent weirdo Thom to praise the admittedly awesome Matt Bellamy. Radiohead is doing their (weird electronic) thing, Muse is doing *their* (apocalyptic baroque) thing, and Rufus Wainwright over in the corner is doing his (indie queer) thing. They are my wackily timbre-ed musical beloveds who I can barely tell apart.

[livejournal.com profile] porridgebird, you will *love* their music. They are the guys I showed you who did that "Feeling Good" cover.

In other news, I totally love Eyes Open by Snow Patrol. I did not expect to! Go team Snow Patrol!

Anyway. My head hurts and I am going to go to bed now.

Mmm, I love me some Muse. I have all of their albums and love every single one.

They are so good and make me all happy and they are much with the rocking out. So, yes. Yay for Muse!

Snow Patrol are bloody brilliant. I have 'Set the Fire to the Third Bar' and my flatmates hate me because I have been playing it over and over, interspersed with 'Bloody Motherfucking Asshole', because Martha needs love, too.

Heee. That song is *awesome*. And also kind of creepy.
