When someone blunders, we say that he makes a misstep. Is it then not clear that all the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill our history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill in dancing. - Moliere

Posted: 8/25/04 at 3:55pmHmmm. Musical SOUNDRACKS, huh? I would go with Grease, West Side Story, Evita and Chicago to start. Those were all great movies.

Posted: 8/25/04 at 4:56pmSome good "Cast Recordings" are Les Miz, Phantom, Wicked, and Avenue Q, in my opinion.

Not to be rude, I'm just wondering, why is it such a big deal if someone goofs and says "soundtrack" instead of cast recording? I've noticed so many people getting called on that, and although it's definitely a mistake, it hardly seems big enough to make a big deal over...
I don't know, just my opinion

Posted: 8/25/04 at 5:58pmI don't mean to be rude, because I goof a lot too. I was just sort of being sarcastic. Hence the quotes. lol. Btw, I love your icon!

I agree that Matt G is awesome. I wonder if he looks anything like the picture in real life.
Anyway, my must haves are anything by Jerry Herman.

Posted: 8/25/04 at 6:51pmFinally got Taboo... I must say that I would pay eighteen bucks for Petrified alone, but I don't have to because the CD comes with some other nifty songs as well. I reccomend it.
