Weekend Entertainment

[bjornwilde]

So I love seeing DEs in my inbox too much to let a weekend go without one...it's sad I know, especially since I am so busy I really can't sit in front of the computer for more than a few minutes to participate much.

Anyway, today's challenge is playlists! Tag in with a pup and we'll suggest songs for them, or share your playlist for a particular pup or canon. Mix and repeat for profit!

With a hearty applause to The Once Upon a Time in Milliways Cast & Canon Wide Playlist at the comm, which never stops growing or filling me with awe & glee.

[tobenormal]

It's more Dark Phoenix but The Creatures' "Exterminating Angels" comes to mind for Jean.

I'll have to think more on this.

[tobenormal]

So how about some tunes for Hank McCoy here? I already have Sofi Bonde's "Fallout" on Hank's list but I need more than a ballad for him and Raven.

Oingo Boingo's "Weird Science" comes to mind as does Thomas Dolbey's "She Blinded Me With Science" and let's not forget Thompson Twins' "Doctor, Doctor". Wait, that's too much 80s.

[covert_bandage]

"Boy In The Bubble", by Paul Simon. I know, more 80s, but still.

Jo Harvelle

[tobeclosetohim]

Yo.

Re: Jo Harvelle

[tobenormal]

Well your icon makes me think of the Black Keys song, "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" but that's cheating right?

[ceitfianna]

I'll just list all of mine as I love seeing what music people connect and I find new stuff to enjoy.

Will Scarlett
Demeter
Charles Xavier
William Evans
Sameth
Moist von Lipwig
Jane Austen
Tumnus
The Pirate King

[tobenormal]

"Suspicious Minds" just popped in for Charles, don't know why but especially the cover by Fine Young Cannibals.

[just_a_cup]

I would love songs for Belle if people feel inspired.

[bjornwilde]

Beautiful Friend by the Cranes?

[ladyoflorien]

Playlists? I love playlists! Drinks all around!

Leela - eyeeyecaptain
Porthos - srspirate
Grace Augustine - donthidemycigs
Renee Walker - whathastobedone
Ray Carling - flickedmethevs
Lily Bell - maidenofthewest
Zoë Washburne - someonetocarryyou
Regina Mills - happilyneverafter

One of these days, I'm going to post to i_pup with an actual, coherent playlist. For now, I troll for new songs (it's not like some of these characters have 30+ songs already, nooo.)

Will hopefully tag around with ideas later tonight! ♥

[covert_bandage]

Porthos needs "Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top.
Regina... forgive me, but she needs "When You're Evil", by Voltaire.
It may be something of a gimme, considering that both movies are 'rain forest scientist versus rain forest exploiters', but Grace is gonna need Campbell And The Children from the Medicine Man soundtrack. What, you thought I was going to reach for the Meredith Brooks?
Oh- and for Zoe, "The War Was In Color", by Carbon Leaf, although I know that's on Alyx Vance's playlist since Leesha's who I got it from in the first place.

[sky_child]

Master Shortpants reporting for duty!

(It should be noted that if you're thinking about a song that reminds you of a game that isn't Skyward Sword, it probably won't apply to this Link.)

[saphyria]

Yrael mogget_cat
Sunshine sunbaked_baker
Zelgadiss chime_ra_tilt

[do_your_duty]

I'm totally laying down on the job. I don't have a single song on a playlist for Aeryn yet that isn't from the official soundtracks. Help a player out?

[deadlinedriven]

The Chili Peppers's "Stadium Arcadium" has always resonated as very much Aeryn to me, especially in regard to her push-pull with trying to be more, thanks to a certain astronaut.

[covert_bandage]

Oh, why not.

acts_of_gord - Gordon Freeman (Half-Life)
gone_byebye - Ray Stantz (Ghostbusters) (assume the theme music is already there)
hecu_marine - Adrian Shephard (Half-Life: Opposing Force)
aaaaaaaagh_sky - Ellen Park (Fallout 3)
hands_of_blu - BLU Medic (Team Fortress 2) - I should note I've already assigned him Rammstein's "Mein Herz brennt", so there's that at least
pattersongs - Mordin Solus (Mass Effect 2 and 3)
igetthatalot - Varric Tethras (Dragon Age 2)
covert_bandage - Arcade Gannon (Fallout New Vegas)

I've taken Fawkes out of the game, Thalestris hasn't been approved yet, and I'm not really sure Belar needs a playlist.

[death_fangirl]

"Carry On Wayward Son" by Kansas always reminds me of Gordon.

[afullmargin]

Oh! I love this sort of DE - though I'm quite honestly musically ignorant. Hah. I know 80s stuff and classic rock - though I love just about everything.

So! Suggestions for any of my pups!


Michael Westen

Burton Guster

Henry Spencer

Archie Hopper

<3 Please?

[gavin62truck]

"Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys for Michael Westen

"Sugar Sugar" by the Archies for Gus

ALSO: "Secret Agent Man" by Johnny Rivers for Michael ('60s pop ftw)

[boston_bruiser]

Already did a playlist for Voodoo, but if anyone has suggestions I'm game.

John needs a playlist. I'll get around to making it one of these days.

[alsoagreengrass]

I've got a playlist for Scorpius here. Lately my favorite song for him is Mastermind by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. I do have other songs I've picked up for him along the way that haven't made the playlist for some reason or another. Mostly it's sickly-sweet Albus/Scorpius stuff, haha.

For thenextround, I've only got Night Ride Across the Caucasus so far. I do have an iTunes playlist that does suit him nicely sound-wise, just not his character. Like Tha Mo Ghaol Air Àird A' Chuain, from Brave's trailer. Which is about a young maiden. So. Yeah.

Oh, and but I absolutely adore this fanvid, so that song kind of sticks out for Gwaine too.

[genarti]

Ooh, I love playlist-making! So I already have some songs for most of mine, but I'm always on the lookout for more.

Here's my current roster, then:

River Tam -- river_meimei
Regan Tam -- regan_tam
Trowa Barton -- 3nanashi
Edel/Uzura -- authorsbypass
Clare -- demisemidemon
Thor son of Odin -- mjolnir_retriever

[bjornwilde]

Thor...M.C. Hammer "Can't Touch This"


/run and hide behind Ben Grimm

[vance_prime]

Always looking for suggestions!

Alyx Vance (vance_prime)
D0G (g00d_d0ggie)
Twilight Sparkle (no_vampires_plz)
Princess Luna (always_the_moon)
the cat (with_his_tail_high)

[boston_bruiser]

I've always thought that if Alyx had a cell phone, "Have A Nice Day" would be her ringtone.

[sardonicynic]

Oh, this is fun, y'all.

→ Ben Wade (almosthonorable), 3:10 to Yuma [2007]
→ Gina Cowell (deadlinedriven), Castle
→ Kate Warner (justdidntseeit), 24
→ Mary Morstan (intendtotake), Sherlock Holmes [2009]
→ Ned Stark (houseofhonor), Game of Thrones / A Song of Ice and Fire
→ Raylan Givens (itwasjustified), Justified

[gavin62truck]

"Paperback Writer" by the Beatles for Gina Cowell

[magnetic_hair]

May as well.

Felix (venusadept_2) (Golden Sun)
Kain Highwind (baron_dragoon) (Final Fantasy IV)
Fluttershy (needs_fern) (My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic)
Cranky Doodle Donkey (magnetic_hair) (My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic)

[a1enzo]

Well, Cranky's song would obviously be a terrible, terrible rewrite of "Yankee Doodle Dandy". And the equally terrible rewrite of "Yankee Doodle" that Pinkie Pie already sang at him. Really, his entire playlist should receive the qualifier "...sung at him by Pinkie."

[death_fangirl]

I have an Aradia playlist! I formed it by taking somebody else's Aradia playlist, discarding the songs I didn't like, and adding some more songs that the person who made the original playlist either hadn't heard of or didn't like.

In no particular order:
"Closer" by Kings of Leon (unrelated to the Nine Inch Nails song)
"Back in Time" by Keane (unrelated to the Huey Lewis and the News song)
"Machine" by Regina Spektor
"Not a Robot, But a Ghost" by Andrew Bird
"Help I'm Alive" by Metric
"Girl with One Eye" by Florence + The Machine (which is as much about Vriska as Aradia, but it makes me think of their ugly history)
"Dead Man's Party" and "No One Lives Forever" by Oingo Boingo
Plus all the Aradia-related Homestuck songs I've got in iTunes. At the moment I have four of them.

Also, "Dollars and Cents" by Radiohead always reminds me of Homestuck's darkest moments.

[crabbycustomer]

Yessss Not A Robot. Also Masterfade is the Sollux/Aradia song par excellence; you pick the quadrant.

well you sure didn't look like you were having any fun
with that heavy-metal gaze they'll have to measure in tons
and when you look up at the sky
all you see are zeros
all you see are zeros and ones

...

and if the 1s just hold their place the 0s make a smiley face
when they come floating down
from the heavens

0u0

Batya has a pretty good Homestuck playlist here:

http://homestuck.livejournal.com/25410.html

I don't think that's entirely uptodate? but it is a good snapshot of a great list.

[chanter1944]

Ooooh, playlist sorting! Okay then. :)

I only have a couple songs for Sariel Rager visible_sariel so far. Most of them are songs I've heard on Lucian radio, and still have to look up proper names and artists for. Oops! I did use Starcademy 4's Le C'est Moi Dancer immediately (literally) post the Allpocalypse, and that's turned into a tangentially related song for her on account of it. Also, Beyonce's Halo is a Sariel and Gene Roe song. No question.

[notinthebook]

Eh, what? Playlists? Yes, please!

We've got:

Emma Swan

Jack Twist

Caspian

Nicholas D. Wolfwood

Danny "Danno" WIlliams

[sardonicynic]

Thanks to the cupcake scene in the pilot, I can't help but throw Imogen Heap's cover of "Lonely Little Petunia" out here for Emma. (Sorry, Emma.)

[cameoflage]

I don't think we actually have Mycroft Holmes of Sherlock anymore, but I can't help but think of him whenever I listen to "The Mole from the Ministry" by The Dukes of Stratosphear (who are really the members of XTC being very silly).

I'm the mole from the ministry
And you'll all bow down to me...

It doesn't seem to be on YouTube, so I put it on my Box.net account.

[a1enzo]

Oh! Missed this 'til now. Enzo musics, please!

[attilathesub]

hey35andholding - Clementine Johnson
filemyclaim - Dixie Cousins
havetubawilltravel - Pinkie Pie
craftylildoodlepumpkin - Juliet O'Hara

[gavin62truck]

"Bad Reputation" by the Rev. Horton Heat from Tommy to Clementine ;D

And of course "Celebration" by Kool & the Gang for Pinkie Pie

[ihavemyflaws]

I love character playlists. Wish I'd been around this weekend to catch this at peak time.

I don't have the same access to my Faye Valentine playlist on this computer, but I've got lists for Kara Thrace and Kate Austen (minus the inevitable Patsy Cline). If anyone is still reading this and has any suggestions I'd love to hear them!

[sardonicynic]

For Kara, Wilco's "War on War."

For Kate, Lucinda Williams's "Well, Well, Well." (Sorry for the live cut/slightly shaky-cam -- I couldn't dig up just a studio cut, ahhh.)
