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.

The whole effin’ song?
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.
Oh, let the sun beat down my face…
I’m going to play that CD right now, in fact.
You RULE, Sheila.
Best song EVER. I’m kinda still not over it. I never will be.
And to see two ice skaters from friggin’ China skating to it????
Heaven.
Song number six, disc two.
Did not see that, but it must have been heaven. Heaven. Bless their skating shit I don’t give a crap about hearts.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Girl, I still have that song in rotation. Why do all my favorite songs always turn up at number six?
Isn’t that weird how that happens, emily? what is that???
So many of my favorite songs are track 11 … WEIRD.
All right. Weighing in on my blog on what I’ve seen so far. Haven’t seen the “Kashmir” couple yet. Unless I missed ’em! Horrors!!
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.
Do they really? No fuck….we’ll have to share tracks.
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.
