As usual, when I am introduced to new music that I really like, I obsess. Although the play and movie have been around for awhile I was recently introduced to the music of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, by my daughter. She had the song The Origin of Love on her ipod and I immediately fell in love with it. Between my daughter and I we have played it over 1400 times.
Yesterday I bought the soundtrack from the play and the movie. I also bought a digital copy of the movie. I watched it again last night and via earbuds I got so much more from the movie and the music. Although the topic of the movie may not be for everyone "A transexual punk rock girl from East Berlin tours the US with her rock band as she tells her life story and follows the ex-boyfriend/bandmate who stole her songs." [taken from IMDb] I firmly believe everyone can something from the movie. It is about love, acceptance and finding oneself. It is about so much you really need to see it to understand.
It's a bit raw so not recommended at all for younger teens.
Here are a few of my favorite song from the movie...have a look and it will give you an idea what the movie is like.
My current favorite.. Wicked Little Town
Midnight Radio
Wig in a Box
And of course..
The Origin of Love

The man with the wig talking in the first video...literally...confuses the crap outta me. LOL

This is something I have never seen!
I like a woman who obsesses.
I obsess the same way over new-to-me music. Good thing we don't use vinyl anymore-I'd wear them out! LOL
Talented singer for certain. I like the last song best.
Wow - that looks awesome and the music is fab! The story is just up my alley - music, punk and out of the norm! Aweome!
Frankly, I haven't had time to be obsessed recently. But I'll have all the time in the world in 7 days...school's out for summer!
I love love that movie and soundtrack. Wonderful choice?
I am currently watching "Julie and Julia" for the fifth time; does that count as an obsession?
You should come to Hartford for this production. I saw it in Boston and it was AMAZING!
