We love us some telenovelas

For years certain telenovelas which may or may not end in -ebelde, -lase 401, and so on have been a not-terribly-guilty pleasure of mine. I think they're awesome. Just one of many things I find appealing about these shows is the music, which tends to be thematic, ridiculously over the top and occasionally reminds me of good ol' anime and VG soundtracks (though thematic more in the sense that they tend to recycle music rather than rework transparent themes, unlike primetime American TV which often consists of short sitcom-y jingles or brand new yet equally indistinguishable music that gets rolled out every week.) Despite a soft spot for it, this music isn't necessarily particularly interesting or of great quality. Just finished on the other hand watching my first episode of Eva Luna - which happens to be on demand starting at episode 84 - and the soundtrack rules. Hope to rub some of it off for some Shafted...Episode 5 should be along in the next two weeks!
