This is part one of two-part suite dedicated to the sometimes jaw-droppingly-awesome, sometimes startlingly-horrible music in the coffee shops.
I have a moment of panic.
This moment is different from the flocking plethora of other panic-moments because I am writing about it right now, right here. Get thee to a super soaker, nonetheless.
This is my problem. The lovelies on the Sandbox talked about Adam Lambert’s CD release. I was all ignoring them, sipping my coffee, when they let slip: “And here’s a clip of Lambert singing a song written by the frontman of one of our favorite bands, ever: Muse. Here’s Soaked [with what!?]” (They are very intolerant.) (And now you recognize the triple entendre I’ve made with the “super soaker” link above.)
I write down “Soaked - Adam Lambert” in my “list of things to do when I have interwebs” document. (Yes, I have such a thing. And that is exactly what the file name is.)
I listen.
I enjoy.
Enter moment of panic, stage left.
It’s Adam Lambert, pop superstar divao (the “a” is silent. Or is it the “o”? I am also very intolerant, it seems.)
But it’s also Matthew Bellamy! And it sounds like Muse! It sounds…it sounds like Tina Turner and Matthew Bellamy had some bizarre cloned lovechild that sings power ballads.
Is it bad that I came up with “Tina Turner” as a singer with a similar style but lower voice than Bellamy? Tee hee.

Heehee. I'm ignoring every other part of your post to focus on the super soaker bit. :) Remember that night when your existential crisis led you to gently bang your head against our door jamb repeatedly? Yeah . . . you're my special monkey. Miss you!
Aha! I was thinking about that same moment in my life when I wrote the post. Glad we're on the same wavelength. :D
Briullov (who also suffers from the occasional existential crisis) says that we should call them "revelations" instead of "crises." I like this. :D
