Attackfish!

Let me know what you want in the comments, and I will drabble you a thing. <3

( Answers behind the cut - I took covers into account but went with the version I have for most of the band-identifying bits )

Trans-Siberian Orchestra! December 9th! New Orleans Arena!

My Duckon cds came in, my Duckon cds came in! I have more Seanan and more Vixy and Tony music! *dances*

My lovely Luna sent me the song Aviary by Ego Likeness. I am listening to it on obsessive-repeat.

The story shaping in my head is a Fire Nation play, written pre-Conquest but rarely performed due to the requirements of the leading lady to be able to waterbend and several significant other characters needing to be able to firebend. Written pre-Conquest, and now being performed again after Sozin's Comet.

In this scene, the Water Tribe Avatar has gone into the Spirit World (to chase down her stolen lover? to find someone to teach her firebending?) and she has stumbled across a forest full of spirit-birds. Said spirit-birds attack her and cause her much damage, leaving her half-dead.

As the attack goes on, there is a singer sitting in darkness on a high 'branch', singing this song. Then after the verse about the black birds, the light shines on the singer, revealing the dying Firebird. She descends on her own verse and chases away the other spirit-birds. She also seriously gets her sultry on as she gathers up the Avatar.

Whoever designed the Firebird's costume definitely used Ozai's Phoenix King robes as the basis. Except without the dorky helm.

Of course, the Firebird's robes are ragged and soot-stained to signify that she is dying. Also to show a good amount of skin.

Very stylized production.

1) Red Roses and Dead Things arrived on Thursday. It was on constant repeat all of yesterday. I have been jamming to it on my iPod for most of today.

2) I am going to make cookies this evening.

3) I spent somewhere in the vicinity of twelve hours roleplaying on Unsung Heroes with my Jedi and my ex-Stormtrooper. Kevalis continues to metaphorically pull Adara's pigtails, Adara continues to go "I can rip out your spleen, but I'm not going to", and Aja'katar is laughing at them both. (Meanwhile, Beni is miserable, and Screw is violently protective.)

5) Things are happening on Deadzone!

Seanan McGuire's new cd, Red Roses and Dead Things, is available for pre-order! You may recall her from "Evil Laugh" (Firefly filk) and "Follow Me Down" (wheel of the seasons), and me chattering about her incessantly when I first got her previous cd (if you listen to me on IM).

I note that this CD has a Narbonic filk and a School House Rock-style of teaching song about the Black Death.

Evangeline by Mission UK

This song inspires an awful lot of my Motormaster/Silverbolt prompts on Springkink, as well as quite a few others. Glorious, glorious dominatrix song.

*goes through her music*

Where the frag is my Moulin Rouge soundtrack? I need "Sparkling Diamonds", darnit!

Doing a music meme. iTunes on shuffle, posting the first line of the first 30 songs, and it's up to you to guess the title and artist.

( Music )

My iTunes seems to be going for the stuff I don't listen to much. Interesting.

I need more U2 like the Junk Day remix of "Dirty Day".
