DE: Gimme a beat

[bjornwilde]

With a hefty dose of "sure, why not", name 2-4 songs that are probably on your character's iPod. If you just can't grok your pup having an iPod, even within bar, how about 2-4 songs you, as their mun, would put on a playlist for them or to inspire yourself to play them.

Selina: Neon Jungle's Trouble, Alien Ant Farm's cover of Smooth Criminal, Metric's Help I'm Alive, and Wanderhouse's cover of Lights.

Quinlan: Bobaflex's cover of The Sound of Silence, The Mission UK's Raising Cain (a great Sith influenced song), MS MR's Hurricane, Alice in Chains' Rooster, Foo Fighters' Walking After You (perfect Khaleen/Quinlan song).

OK, both of these are from playlists I already have so for Tybalt I'll try and imagine what he'd put on a device...
Tybalt: Tuatha da Danann's Greensleeves, David Bowie's Cat People (Putting Out Fire), and likely some version of the Ballad of Tam Lin, especially after certain events (I can't find an online source for my favorite version of it, which was done by the Melbourne Scottish Fiddle about ten years ago.)

For the Master of Ceremonies:

"Sweet Transvestite" of course, from The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Don't get strung out by the way I look,
Don't judge a book by its cover
I'm not much of a man by the light of day,
But by night I'm one hell of a lover

"Lola" by the Kinks (This makes me think of his coming-of-age/sexual awakening moment.)
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola

"Girls and Boys" by Blur
Girls who are boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love

"Wicked Little Town" from Hedwig and the Angry Inch (This speaks more to the Emcee's...nurturing? side. Taking in people who are different in a cruel world.)
The pious, hateful and devout,
you're turning tricks til you're turned out,
the wind so cold it burns,
you're burning out and blowing 'round.
And if you've got no other choice
you know you can follow my voice
through the dark turns and noise
of this wicked little town.

Well, Amascut is the only one of my pups that actually has a playlist. For her two I pick sort of dancey tunes to go along with action scenes, so Garbage's Time Will Destroy Everything and Poe's Wild. Ah, hell, I'll throw in Cliffhanger from Runescape's Missing, Presumed Death quest because it was reuploaded to youtube and yay for that.

I haven't really thought of what Fairy Fixit might enjoy, honestly. But, if I had to point at a genre, I would say math rock. Here's SHUNK by Adebisi Shank

I don't have a playlist for Evil Chicken, but here, have some Vegetable Soup from Igorrr (right around the 2 minute mark :D)

Gordon, songs from my playlist for him: Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler", Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name", the Oak Ridge Boys' cover of "Carry On Wayward Son", E.S. Posthumus' "Unstoppable", and The Tokens' "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". You may want to check whitetext for some of those.

Shephard, songs he'd be listening to: Metallica's "Enter Sandman" with a possibility of the Iron Horse bluegrass cover as well; Megadeth's "High Speed Dirt", which he is not allowed to sing any more after that one time in Poland; Sabaton's "A Light In The Black"; AC/DC's "Back In Black"; Ruthie Foster's "Death Came A-Knockin'"

Ellen, songs from my playlist because she does not grasp the concept of putting together your own selections of music unless you operate a radio station: Muse's "City of Delusion"; the James Taylor cover of "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"; John Denver's "Where The River Meets The Sea"; Two Steps From Hell's "El Dorado"

Varric: ... I'm sorry, I'm trying to take this one seriously but I just get a dwarven smirk and then "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred comes on.

Edward Kenway: Two Steps From Hell's "Blackheart" and "Winterspell", and any of the sea chanteys that you can find in his canon for the other pirates on his ship to sing. With one exception, because I can never hear "What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor" without remembering a high school friend singing out, "Put 'im in charge of an Exxon tanker, put 'im in charge of an Exxon tanker..."

I do not know with either Medic or Santo. Although for Santo I'm kinda tempted to go with the original Star Trek series fight music, except that unlike Kirk, Santo's fights consisted of more than four basic moves and a torn shirt.

Stacker: I do not know what he listens to although some form of really odd techno would not surprise me at all. Possibly Filipino speed metal, because I can see Herc Hansen stopping someone from entering the Marshall's office when he hears a certain bass line thumping through the wall. As for what I'd put on a playlist for him, most of that is already on the Pacific Rim soundtrack.

Henry: Would, I assume, have some current music on his iPod, due to being around the age current music can cement ideas in head. I don't actually know what that would be. For songs about him, ones that spring to mind are Owl City's "Fireflies" and Joni Mitchell's "The Circle Game."

Eriond: I assume he would not be averse to an iPod in the Bar, but again, no clue what would be on it, other than lots of happy music. I haven't made a playlist for him yet, though.

Lois: Has every Whitesnake song ever on her iPod. All of them. Other 80s hair metal. For songs I think of her with: Billy Joel's "Modern Woman", Alanis Morissette's "Unprodigal Daughter" (and lots of others of hers, too), and Sara Bareilles' "Breathe Again" (mostly due to its use in canon).

Tavi: He just isn't a musical kind of guy. Songs about him that invariably put me in mind of him: Abra Moore's "Family Affair", Nickel Creek's "When In Rome", Five for Fighting's "Chances", and most especially Switchfoot's "I Dare You to Move".

Clem So much classic rock. Hey 19 by Steely Dan, Goin' to California by Zepp, Love me Two Times by the Doors and

Dixie Lots of 40s, 50s and 60s big band and chanteuse stuff. "Cry me a River" by Julie London, "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" by Marilyn Monroe, Lots of Judy Garland.

Juliet: All the 80's stuff. "girls Just Wanna Have Fun", INXS "I Need You Tonight", some Police (ha ha), and Pat Benatar.

Pinkie: EVERY. MARCHING SONG. EVER. Japanese pop songs.

Eponine: Edith Piaf. Lots of Edith Piaf. Some melodic mopecore music too.
