EJECT DISC! EJECT DISC! (Do not hang up.)

i think my Megaton CD is my favorite CD. i dont really have many of my own albums on CD, most of them are the taste of people who've moved on from CDs and given them to me. hopefully i get some more spanish rock CDs. my spanish class has been going well.

i got NEOTOKYO°: APPENDIX. its all sketches, the abandoned behind the scenes for the soundtrack. i really like the bassier, more percussion-oriented parts, like hhrv and sloppy (weird names, but they are sketches after all). i like to set up my playlist so if i want to listen to a marathon of all of Ed Harrison, i put NT°:A inside of TGR Fuel, since APPENDIX's first track is a sketch called Dawn, and TGR Fuel's third track is a polished, completed version of Dawn, so it's like a prototypical encore, followed by the prototype album, where the last track on it's a little more polished, and then back to the regular quality of sound for the rest of TGR Fuel and so on.

i found, what with my Megaton CD having lyrics on its cover insert, that both the embedded lyrics (inside of the MP3 files' metadata) and the .lrc synced lyric files of my digital music library's copy of the album are inaccurate in some places. however, something that stuck out to me was that when i decided to add synced lyrics to my library, i didn't verify a lot of the lyrics. today i found that the english-speaking verse of Peligro (Incendio Universal) had really inaccurate lyrics. i opened the karaoke/cover view for the first time in a while and it was completely off, which i don't blame since all the listeners are Argentine, more or less, and there probably aren't a lot of fluent speakers of english listening to any latin-american rock, especially anything outside of the shallow surface cast by such popular artists as Soda Stereo. what i mean is, i wasn't surprised that the lyrics displayed on my player were suddenly inaccurate compared to the last time i cared to pay attention to them, which was like last year. but anyway, i went to go check my album insert's lyric thingy on its inside, and found that the english verse just doesn't exist on there. wow! great! there's no official documentation on what's being said! it doesn't make any sense to my ears, either. (something like, "I'm coming back, I'm feeling you, I said it's going for a game! I'm ready to fly, I'm getting high, 'cuz here, the beach's burning down! And it's okay, I'm going fine, my fuckin' time wasted for the seconds!" (for comparison, the last line is interpreted by the synced-lyric-writer as "And tired with the forest suckers")) i want to try to fix it at some point, though, or at least figure out what the mangled english is supposed to be, if it isn't some pasted-on jibberish spoken just for the aesthetic or whatever.
