MUSIC MEME TIEM IS NAO

[sofo]

Oh hey guys, it's been a while since we had a meme like this. :D It's easy peasy, very straightforward, and goes a little something like this:

* comment with a playlist (or a track or two (or as many as you want)) that makes you think of your character(s). It can be thematic or just groovy, or something they themselves love to listen to.
* troll the living daylights out of everyone else's playlists :D
* have fun!

Youtube or other such links are made of wub and awesome, but not necessary.

Peace out, children of the revolution.

disclaimer: whenever Sofo attempts to write something sexy, she listens to Rammstein. All Rammstein, all the way, all the time.

Bagoas would be horrified by the angry-angry-sounding noises and probably go hide in a corner. Since Bagoas is my most overtly sexual character, he gets the "all the Rammstein" cop-out, even if Cain probably deserves it more.

Ahem.

Bagoas' current playlist, as a bodyswapped, straight-back'd, head-held-high, brave-face-firmly-ON Sherlock, consists of a lot of atypical beats.

Like...

Skrillex's First of the Year (Equinox) (for all the grrrr argh energies and fascinating rhythm. /end Fred Astaire references
The Strokes' Heart in a Cage
Sean Paul's Dwali Riddim (oh lord, old summertime hits. personally I love to love-hate this song, while Bagoas would sit and frown intently as he tried ciphering what on earth the man's saying (also, catchy beats are catchy))
Daft Punk (feat. Kanye West)'s Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (...without any actual Kanye West!voice desecrating the track >_> oh, me)
Daft Punk's Around the World (hypnotizing, repetitive loops of melodies and beats merging into a whole. mmmmmm)
Run DMC + Jason Nevins It's Like That

Ask for links if you want'em :D Or just browse Youtube at your own leisure!

I might make a less atypical list for him. Later. Stay tuned for moar!

You've heard Deadmau5, yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees?

[aintnoconvict]

See: last meme. Modest Mouse forever, though his current MM song is "Styrofoam Boots/All Nice On Ice".

OTHER ADDITIONS:
"Midnight City," M83
"Default," Django Django
"Gangnam Style," Psy. Because why the hell not.

I...don't so much listen to ~mood music~ for anything but, um, ask for song associations and maybe I can whip something up :D?

[aintnoconvict]

...oh wait I think I just found the Glitchiest song to ever Glitch: Talking Like I'm Falling Down Stairs, Sparkadia

[genequeen]

Oh you guys. I make play lists for all of my characters.

I have to go dig up my lists for these guys since I haven't had a lot of song/writing time recently.

Maddy: Speaking of Rammstein... Engel - Rammstein
Rumor Has It / Someone Like You - Glee Cast

Selina: Ain't No Rest for The Wicked - Cage The Elephant
Ready to Run - Dixie Chicks

Spike: Blaze of Glory - Jon Bon Jovi

[no_rose_tint]

I've always had "Rumour Has It" pinned for Maddie.

[genequeen]

Great minds and all that.... I like the mash up that they did since it seems to add something - to me at least. Someone Like You fits pretty well too.

"I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you

I hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me, it isn't over"

[infinitelystranger]

Oh, I adore the Rumour Has It/Someone Like You mashup more than I like either song, actually, and definitely more than I usually like anything from Glee. It's funny, I don't usually care that much for Adele and I'm no Glee fan at all, but it's such a great arrangement, period.

It helps that Amber Riley and Naya Rivera can sing like beasts, unlike many of their costars. *_* But Naya's kind of a rock star altogether.

[infinitelystranger]

See, I'm of the belief that whether or not it's something he would ever personally approve of being associated with his name, any Sherlock playlist has got to reflect the fact that he is a total drama queen.

Billy Joel - You May Be Right
Robbie Williams - Come Undone
The Eagles - Desperado
The Ramones - I Wanna Be Sedated
The Cure - Friday I'm In Love
John Rzeznik - I'm Still Here
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody / Don't Stop Me Now
Simon & Garfunkel - I Am A Rock

He'll also have to put up with a dash of Pink and Relient K. I guess for musical credibility you can also have Tom McRae.

Personally I think he would loathe all these choices; my headcanon Sherlock likes Boccherini, failing that, Tartini, failing that, Mozart, and failing that, Daft Punk. He probably would like Rammstein and E Nomine on some secret, closeted level too. He was once 13, after all. Arguably that hasn't stopped.

some classical music geekery, but I'll keep it brief

[thepersianyouth]

I have to say Boccherini's minuetto is at the top of my all-time favourite classical compositions (and in some part due to the fact I know it when I hear it). Ahh, the sad(?) fate of classical music in popular media, these days.

I wonder what any of the greats, big or small, would say if they knew where their works ended up some 200-500 years later.

I'd like to think they'd be delighted. Mozart, who's always been a bit of a rock star in my eyes? I'm quite sure he'd think it's friggin' awesome.

Re: some classical music geekery, but I'll keep it brief

[infinitelystranger]

Mozart had some things in common with Sherlock. Mozart also had some things in common with Kanye, let's be honest. If there were awards shows to interrupt?

Re: some classical music geekery, but I'll keep it brief

[thepersianyouth]

Mozart: OMG LIKE I SHOULD'VE TOTALLY WON ALL THE AWARDS, WHAT ARE YOU INSANE?!?!?!?! I RUUUUULE!

...and so on and so forth. But in Mozart's case, he'd kind of be right. XD

Sorry, Kanye.

Re: some classical music geekery, but I'll keep it brief

[infinitelystranger]

I like Kanye, but not half as much as Kanye likes Kanye, apparently. I don't think anyone likes Kanye as much as Kanye likes Kanye. I'm not sure it's possible.

Re: some classical music geekery, but I'll keep it brief

[thepersianyouth]

In Kanye's defence, he at least didn't go up there for his own sake.

Anyhoo.

I love your list and think it's delightfully fitting.

This is what I get for not logging in as buffy for awhile :)

How it Ends, by Devotchka.
And in your heart you know it to be true
You know what you gotta do
They all depend on you
And you already know
Yeah, you already know how this will end

It seems to fit :)

Safe as Houses, The Weepies

Are you somewhere safe as houses
Mother may I run and hide?
Don't throw stones at other people
Hope your brother's on your side

just a couple :)

[empty_vessel]

Jimmy's got himself a playlist. :)

Simon & Garfunkle - Mrs. Robinson (Head!Canon suggests that Amelia investigated having Jimmy committed. >.>)
Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime
Angels & Airwaves - Soul Survivor
Placebo - Running Up That Hill
Airborne Toxic Event - Wishing Well
