The Promotional Parade [July 2008]

Well, it’s been over a full year since I last did one of these. And why yes, this is oooooooooold. Half a year old. But I started this before my school term started again, before my Internet crashed, and before I lost my faithful laptop of 6-7 years. I have it, I poured hours into it, and so this is getting stuck up here anyways. Give it a look through anyways – if you have my taste in music you may find something new. Or you may just have fun when I poke fun too.

An extra decade of age can do wonders.

Having seen the above picture, having seen the title… perhaps the first question that comes to your mind is “Why?” Why am I reviewing Amuro Namie’s 60s 70s 80s now, a full month after its release? Why, after everyone and their mother (who probably loved this sort of music because it was in her heyday) have said all they’ve had to say about it? And why, when I specifically said I was going to focus on groups this year?

Because:
1) Patrick (who you may know over at Who’s Afraid of Music?), the Namie fan that he is, asked for it. Also, I’ve never been a timely person. Just ask my history professor.
2) I have a slightly different opinion from everyone else on a certain song, apparently. *shockgasphorror* And it really just isn’t because I like to be anti-mainstream. (If you’re even thinking that, have you read this blog at all?)
3) I’m a liar.
