THRILLING

Posted on February 11, 2006 by sheila

One young Chinese pair is skating to Led Zeppelin’s “Kashmir”. What a thrilling musical choice. I looooooove that song. Funny and interesting: the arrangement makes it sound like, oh, Shastakovich or something … but it’s LED ZEPPELIN.

    Well, it’s the short program so no – I don’t think so.

    And no vocals – it was an instrumental – but it had that thrilling and ominous beginning that reverberates throughout the song …

    It was awesome.

    Dude! Jan Carl is leading Tanya Harding through a “Hollywood Diva” makeover on Entertainment Tonight right now. She apparently has not been in training for a while.

    Girl, I still have that song in rotation. Why do all my favorite songs always turn up at number six?

    Tracey – they come at the very end of the night – you haven’t missed them. She has a very hip shag cut. They skate to Kashmir. All was right with the world.

    BTW, I was listening to “Lay Lady, Lay,” track number six when I was writing this. One of the best songs ever recorded.

    Sheila — It’s now 12:10 and I just ranted on my blog — trying SOMEHOW to connect theatre and the Olympics.

    I’m insane.

    –off topic, sorry, but—

    KWAN WITHDRAWS

    Kwan is out. Hughes is in.

    ESPN.com Headline: Kwan Gone

    Michelle can now join UniBall and the other Stars on Ice as they come to your town…

    I was elated to learn that Kwan dropped out, I hope Hughes skates her ass off.

    “Kashmir” is my ringtone. The fact that figure skaters are using it as a soundtrack to accompany their sequinned twirling has forced me to reevaluate the entire sport.
