rfmcdonaldI never would have encountered the song "Heartbreak (Make Me a Dancer)", last summer's big hit song from the United Kingdom by Freemasons (the band, not the society) Sophie Ellis-Bextor, if not for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
drood's year-end roundup of his earworms.
"Sophie didn’t release an album this year,"drood blogged, "but her collaboration with the Freemasons showcases her two greatest strengths: the capacity to make catchy dance music, and her ability to pronounce the word dance in the most patrician manner possible." Indeed.
I'd encountered some of the Freemasons' remixes before, but I only would have run across "Heartbreak (Make Me a Dancer)" because ofdrood's recommendation, and yes, she does have quite a few catchy songs that I like listening to."Murder on the Dance Floor" is a particular favourite of mine. I listen to them only on YouTube, however; I don't own physical copies of the music and I don't think that I will. I'm not sure why this is the case, even though "Heartbreak (Make Me a Dancer)" is a song that marks the beginning of this decade for me. (No, in case you're wondering it certainly does not reflect my relationship, thank you very much.) It just feels more mature for me to not feel the need for an unnecessary and costly backup. I don't need to own a copy to make sure I'll always have it; I can trust in the resiliency of the Internet and the durability of content on so many platforms; I can relaxl. It's fun, really.
Now, off into this beautiful warm spring day! Deterraforming might be doing bad thing sto the world but so far it's producing a wonderfully and precociously warm March. Perhaps I should finally outfit my mp3 player with some batteries.
