On the fun-nicity of karaoke
Mar. 29th, 2009 09:54 pmKaraoke went really well. Will probably end up dragging all the stuff out again to have it for Nerdocalypse, though I'm not sure how well that will work out, since I'm not sure how happy the other groups will be with that. Maybe we'll only run it for a couple of hours or something, since we have to do Name That Tune somewhere in there anyway.
I still have to work on singing in a range that works. It was kinda fun getting applause for holding out a falsetto note for a while. Only had a chance to do a few songs since it was pretty popular and I was sorta running it. Call Me Call Me was pretty good. I didn't get a chance to try Aozora no Namida, which I will have to try again since I messed it up so much last time. Might eventually try Hishoku no Sora or Musou Uta.... but only because I like them, not because I could ever sing them well. There's still something about the flow of the song that gives me a mental image of a record spinning everytime I listen to Musou Uta. Eventually when I have too much money I'll get it transferred to vinyl just for the hell of it. I really can't identify why I always feel like that about it.

Projector\screen is the school's, all other equipment is mine of Brian's. Having the lights up this time made it cheesy enough to not be so lame. I think Karaoke is one of the very few situations in which being cheesier is LESS lame. Or at least they make pictures more interesting in what is otherwise a terrible room for this sort of thing.
I love having all professional equipment aside from the fan-ghetto-tabulous 80's Harmon Kardon receiver. Computer looks pretty ghetto too, but the stickers are there to make it faster! Since revamping it just for audio though, it's been pretty darn good. Well it was plenty good before, just not as good as the Quad core at being my primary system given my ridiculous multitasking habit.
