From The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya {Anime Insert Song}

Thoughts: It's tough to get any better than the sound and lyrics of this song, from an equally amazing and unimaginably unique anime series. I suggest anyone who has not seen at least an episode of Haruhi Suzumiya to go now and watch the first episode. The sheer amount of inverted cliches and the very essence of the storyline, not even taking the top-notch comedy into consideration, makes the show very well worth it. Oh, and it has some great romance, too. | MP3

Also check out my new About Me page on my Wordpress blog, too. Finally managed to put something of interest up for anyone who cares. [Laugh]

Oh, and for an amazing piece of orchestra, check out this song from Code Geass R2 (the second season of Code Geass).

Thoughts: I've always loved the Irish Gaelic language. I love the way it flows, and just how poetic it sounds. This song is a perfect example of its poetic nature. | MP3

So, I was playing around in GarageBand and was interested in creating a mash-up of different classic and one-hit-wonder songs; that’s exactly what I did, and it ended up becoming so huge, I had to split it up. Here’s the first of my series (if I continue with my mash-ups, at least) of mash-ups containing a series of classic songs, with tweaked instruments and arranged in a flowing manner. Try and recognize the songs and comment with your findings, or just comment and tell me what you think.

Song can be found on my blog in the cross-posted post there: http://aleius.freehostia.com/?p=16
