Mika's new album is great!


My second-favorite flamboyant British pop star who sounds like Freddie Mercury (or, as the The Times describes him, the "camp, half-Lebanese singer-songwriter cursed by an inability to walk into a crowded room without a show of jazz hands") just put out a new album, called The Boy Who Knew Too Much, and it is great!  I've been listening to it pretty much non-stop since last week.  It's very fun!  "We Are Golden" is a catchy tune!  In fact, pretty much everything is incredibly catchy and fun, except for maybe the two requisite piano power ballads.  But those are still good!

And there are plenty of songs to add to my Gaylist (did you know that Mika is actually not gay?  Just bi.  Shocker!);  "Toy Boy" and "Lover Boy" would be excellent additions!  I especially like the song "Rain," which is great and has a speaking-over-music bit that makes me chuckle because of how it sounds like the Flight of the Conchords' "Inner City Pressure".  But my favorite is probably "Blame It on the Girls."  Look, here is a video of it!



Aw, those old ladies are having so much fun.  But how fun and catchy was that!  Anyways, Mika's new album is great, yay!
