solidfoamsoulI got into swing music back in the late 90s, just starting high school. You know, when it was suddenly popular again? My brother's prom even had a swing theme. He took lessons and rented a zoot suit. (Black with red pinstripes, if you're wondering.)
Just last night I watched "Swing Kids" with him and it completely distracted him from the computer game he was playing. Robert Sean Leonard now owns me.
I recently fell back in love with the music again some time ago after seeing "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" and getting all fan girly about Lupin's choice of music for his lessons. And then being quite disappointed when it wasn't included in the sound track. Ali (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kittencuffs)who had gone to the movie with me tag along to a thrift shop, where I procured a Benny Goodman and a Duke Ellington LP. Both in decent condition and only a buck each! I love thrift shops! Unfortunately these two LPs weren't very "swinging", only moderately so.
She also lifted a 24 dollar antique hat (40s style, maybe a bit later) there as a gift for me. Early Christmas, says she. (I've also written a Remus and Sirius drabble on that. But I haven’t typed it up.. yet) And no tomatoes were harmed during the making of that robbery.
You'll get that joke if you've seen "Swing Kids." And if you haven't, you should. Soundtrack ain't too bad, either.
I also worked on my short House drabble today at work. Instead of House finding Wilson rockin' out to Independent Women by Destiny's Child, I when with a less one-line joke and had Wilson swing dancing by his lonesome. If you've seen Robert Sean Leonard dance, then you'll know why.
And a couple random icon's I've finished. When I do more, I'll post to the appropriate groups, but you guys are special.
Or are you... Or are you?
...Or... are you?
