 So, any new musical discoveries, whether old or new songs? New fanmixes you've found or made?

First, I have decided that Handlebars by Flobots needs to be a Warehouse fanvid.

Second, I've gotten a bit lost in the Hedwig and the Angry Inch soundtrack. ETA: Hedwig's a bit NSFW.

Yeeeah.

[i_am_your_host]

Milliways used to have a Hedwig. I miss her.

[damncompass]

She's an awesome character.

Part of me wishes I could play her, but most of me knows I wouldn't do her justice.

[lunamystic]

Ahhhhh, that would be a great! Have you seen the Handlebars Doctor Who fanvid? It might be my favorite.

*hijacky pounce*

[lunamystic]

Hi! :D

[street_sparrow]

Hi! I've missed you around (and also Karou).

[lunamystic]

Likewise. The usual: body being extra stupid, etc., but I am finally catching up on tags! Wanna thread soon?

[street_sparrow]

Absolutely! Hope you're starting to feel better.

[the_lioness]

I might throw Karou in today for inevitable slowtiming. Are you around and interested? :D

[street_sparrow]

Most definitely. :)

[a_mad_hope]

Voila!

[street_sparrow]

And tagged!

[lunamystic]

ALSO. MOST IMPORTANTLY. Have you read Skin Game yet?

[street_sparrow]

I HAVE. It was... interesting, and I can't believe Michael STILL doesn't know about the thing.

[damncompass]

Actually, the link is to the Doctor Who vid! :D It's what made me aware of the song.

[lunamystic]

AH! It is so good! *goes to watch it again* *falls down fanvid rabbit hole* :D

[lunamystic]

Nothing new, but I was messing around with iTunes playlists earlier and was once again reminded that As Lovers Go and When You Come Back Down are perfect, PERFECT Alanna/George songs. And now I want George back in the bar like burning.

I need a Karou playlist.

[bjornwilde]

Funny you should mention Karou, as I recently published a Brimstone mix. I'm on the fence about whether I should email the link to Laini Taylor. I've already contacted her once with praise for her books and a question regarding Brimstone, and she actually replied!

[the_lioness]

She seems utterly delightful, so why not? :D

Have you read book three yet? I started it but stalled out at page 200 because I need to refresh my memory of the first two. I've forgotten who most secondary characters are. I think that's why I am enjoying the Grisha trilogy so much. Reading them back to back means I don't have time to forget details. *laughs*

[bjornwilde]

I have read it and it was great! I love how she wrapped things up, even if Brimstone never makes an appearance. I kept hoping he'd return, given what's possible in their world, but it never happened. :(

[bjornwilde]

I've been loving Marina and the Diamonds (especially Bubblegum Bitch) and Emilie Autumn (especially Fight Like A Girl). I'm also loving Robin Hitchcock's cover of The Ghost In You.

I've also been making mixes all over the place and publishing here on my 8tracks; the most recent being a republishing of a Hank McCoy mix, the above mentioned Brimstone mix, and one for Penny Dreadful.

[woman_of_valor]

I've also been listening to the House of FLying Daggers soundtrack, which is making me think a lot of Mulan; especially Beauty Song.

[mogget_cat]

Wonder upon wonders, I've found an actual Old Kingdom/Abhorsen fanmix. It is rather glorious.

Also I am extremely fond of this Bloody Shirt fanvid for Welcome to Night Vale.

There's a whole genre of music that's written solely for movie and video game trailers; they're generally around three or four minutes long and tend to be ridiculously epic. I've got a Pandora station that's based off this kind of thing- the original seed was Two Steps From Hell, the people who did the trailer music for the Mass Effect games. The most recent discoveries:

Zack Hemsey's album The Way
Audiomachine's Chronicles
Immediate Music's Trailerhead
Kerry Muzzey's Trailer Music 3
Future World Music's A Hero Will Rise

Right now my favorite tune from all of these is probably "Facing Demons", from The Way.

[bjornwilde]

Nice. I love 2 Steps, they also did the music used in the X-Men First Class trailers.

Speaking of epic game music, I just came across this mix and thought it might be up your alley.

ETA: OK, maybe not as epic as it first seemed. A good mix still.

[1nv1nc1ble]

I recently picked up the most recent Crystal Method album. They do a track with LeAnn Rimes. It's a pretty good song.

[bjornwilde]

That is nice. I'll have to check out the album.

[onceaviking]

For Eric it's mainly stuff like Gamarna, Hedningarna, and Yat-Kha. And a bit of Krauka.


As for Elrond, there are things in his background that rhymes with Rammstein's Sonne. In my head at least. Gentler times is more like Kaare Norge. Some kulning perhaps.

[singthesong]

Steam Powered Giraffe. They're cool singing robots and and I love them.

Also I like The Hoosiers. And these are my favorite Weathers.

[bbq_platypus]

On the subject of Doctor Who-related songs, have I alerted you to the existence of a grindcore cover of "Doctor in Distress?"

Well, here's a grindcore cover of "Doctor in Distress."

Apologies.

Please enjoy my Ash Williams Crack fanmix!
