StrangeLittleBoys

Listening to the original versions of the songs Tori did on StrangeLittleGirls. I'd already heard a few, so here's opinions...


-I much prefer the originals of Enjoy the Silence, I Don't Like Mondays and Happiness Is a Warm Gun.

-Tori's version of '97 Bonnie & Clyde is MUCH better than the original.

-You can't really compare Velvet Underground and Tori's version of New Age, since T's was based on a bootleg version that is lyrically very different from the finished product. The only similarity is the chorus and the very end.

-I prefer Tori's version of Heart of Gold vocally because I hate Neil Young's voice, but otherwise I like his more.

-Both versions of After All are incredibly beautiful and haunting.

-Both versions of Strange Little Girl are really cool, though I like Tori's a touch more since it sounds better faster.

-Tori's version of Rattlesnakes is better because I find it to have much more emotion, same with her versions of I'm Not In Love and Time.

-Even though I have trouble understanding the words in both versions, I definitely prefer Tori's version of Raining Blood because it doesn't make my ears bleed.

-Despite how pretty her version is, I have to say I prefer the original of Only Women Bleed because Tori's is just a touch too slow. Also she removed a verse, and that lost her points (just like on her version of I Don't Like Mondays)

-It's hard to make a call on Real Men, but being forced I'll say I prefer Joe Jackson's just because that song does sound slightly better coming from a man.

Birthday animals

January 25 - 31 ~ Lion
If you are a Lion: Quite contradictory to your name, you are a peace loving person. You best try to avoid a situation wherein you are required to fight. An outdoor person, you dislike sitting at one place for a long duration. You are a born leader, and have it in you how to tactfully derive work from people. You love being loved, and when you receive your share of limelight from someone, you are all theirs!!!! Well, well... hence some people could even take an advantage, flatter you to the maximum and get their work done. So be careful.....

What Are You? )

Okay, you know how I've been all happy about my mouth being better? It is, the swelling's gone and all. The only problem: the throbbing ache starts up again really bad after I eat. I mean, it goes away with a little bit of my Blue Ice and an ice pack (and today two ibproufen, just to be safe), but it's still annoying.
