The Only One I Wanna Talk About

I was about to name this post "I'm Crazy About," and make it into a series. I'm still going to make it into a series (we'll see), but I decided on a different name based on the subject that inspired the original idea. So without further ado, here's the only thing I want to talk about right now:

Go ahead, watch it fullscreen.

I've followed Mika for years, ever since my friend Alexandra introduced me to his music in high school. It's like indie pop music. The music itself is upbeat and catchy, but the lyrics are just a little more insightful and poetic than I find most pop music to be. In addition to his musical style, his body language, voice, and investment in performance set him apart. Basically, he's quirky and I like it. 

So when he released this video last week, I was very excited, and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. The whole video: music, lyrics, dancers, choreography, set design, costumes, and Mika himself, are somehow even more Mika than he's ever been before. My words cannot do it justice. I'm going to have this video on repeat for at least another week.

What have you been crazy about lately? What's the only thing you wanna talk about?
