Why don't you like me? Why don't you like yourself?

Had a good Friday night out for a bit, meeting up with coworkers for a pint or two at a local "meadery" LOL. The PacNW is a great place for that kind of place, where people knit in bars, and everyone rocks the beard and ponytail and flannel shirt (or androgynous hipster lady) look and sports at least one homemade/etsy item. And heavy on the ironic handlebar pedo mustaches.

 Haven't posted in quite some time - I am trying and failing (as usual) to NaNoWriMo... so that has been tough. I may or may not improve at regular posting. I try. Sometimes.

But yeah. Kinda in a great mood, so it is time for some cheerful videos. The great thing about MIKA videos (besides his bangin' hair) is how they look exactly how they sound. You hear the song, you're like, wow, I can kinda see this in my head - and yeah, it's pretty much what you expect (and maybe just slightly better than you imagined - very ultra glam pop and yet somehow retaining some class, somehow, even with crotch-lasers... just so earnestly sunny it's almost impossible to dislike). Exuberant, super colorful, over-the-top, very very uptempo poppy delight. Usually I despise videos where people dance around having a party/good time, but these are kind of infectiously joyous. Pretentiously twee, maybe, but in the way that kind of makes you want to hug him. His first main album "Life in Cartoon Motion" is one of the most satisfyingly, thoroughly, consistently, cheerful albums ever made.


"Grace Kelly" -  prob his most famous song



"Rain" - a slightly more "serious" mood, LOL. As one of the YT comments says: "EPIC DANCING" - this is like, so my song - also: fireworks! And running/dancing with/from forest animal people.

"Baby, I hate days like this

When it rain and rain and rain and rains
When it rain and rain and rain and rains
When it rain and rain and rain and rains
When it rain and rain and rain and rains...
...Trying to be ordinary,
Was it me who was the fool? "

"We are Golden" - he dances around, a lot, glittery shoes



"Love Today" -  he dances around, a lot



"Lollipop" - cartoon/fairytale/kids book gone mad type video



And his latest, in French - "Elle Me Dit" - a variety of people /outfits/patterns/ages dance around






Have a cheery Friday night! Stay warm!
