You Need To Buy This Album

Mika "Life in Cartoon Motion"

Yes you. Trust me. You need it in your life. I dare you to listen to this album and not become happy.

It's seriously the best album I've heard in 10 years. (Of course I have strange, sometimes lame, taste - so you'll just have to hear it for yourself). I love every single song on it, and there are only a handful of albums about which I can say that.

Mika is incredible! His whimiscal, yet lavish songs remind me so much of Freddy Mercury...with a little Elton John, some BeeGees, a lot of Scissor Sisters, some sugar and spice and everything nice.

Oh and did I mention that he's easy on the eyes?

Born in Beirut to an American father and a Lebanese mother, Mika lived a short time in Paris, before moving to London as a child. So he's an American-Lebanese Brit who speaks French. HOT.

So like you really should click on this link to his website. And while you're at it, be his friend on myspace.

The album is up on itunes, if you're interested.

Or just give me a holler.

Oooh, and
check this out
, this is Mika on a French show, he sings a few songs, but he speaks almost entirely in French. My French is rusty, so I can only make out about 80% of what they're saying, but it's sassy! He sings a bit of the classic, "Aux Champs Elys�es", which totally took me back to my high school French classes.

Good gawd woman, I hope Blogspot has an import feature so you didn't have to move all of these over by hand!
