thanks to the wonderful, amazing, incredible vimeslady, we now have Tombstone soundtrack in all its GLORY.
glory, hallelujah...
...half of it is technical: rather not a melody but a life-accompanying sound, and if you remember what scene went with it, it comes alive in memory, and if you haven't seen the film, it's just that, technical support. but OH MY GOD the other half.
you don't have to know anything to hear the thunder, the earth burning under feet, the storm, the gunpowder... and the sweetest tones of kinship, and the spice & snark of irony... trumpets and strings, OMG. listening to the score walk through the variations of a theme is a heart-melting delight. [and the theme itself? it's there on the bonus disc, separate, pure, 2+ minutes of soundgasm. it rocks, it rumbles, it brings 'laughing murder' to mind!]
...and then there's... love, I guess, and hope, joined in passages of depth and/or tenderness breath-taking in the eye of the storm. all in one track. sorry, it pwns my music-loving soul.
when I come home, there will be [more] spam '-)

I'm stupid happy at the moment. what an... interesting state to be in, academically... I can actually feel coherent thought melt into one big shiny wow & a head-splittin' grin. I do something and then just collapse for a moment of mindless glee. awwwwww #-)
what one little box can do to a person. terrible, terrible things!
...but it's the color of old parchment, it smells like parchment, it feels slightly dusty, and it's folded many times unto itself like a good old treasure map! fweee...
it is crack packed with so much style.
it's got pictures all over it, and in the booklet inside it, and even a handwriting sample on what seems to be an actual piece of parchment thrown in for good measure... to the point of WTH, guys #-)
so, yeah, stupid happy.
I'll be off buying some Bacardi to go with it '-)
