Scribbles and Bits

Huh.  Interesting.

Apparently when I'm in a really bad mental way, the music of PengoSolvent helps.  I randomly grabbed their Leave It Less album, because I liked 'Tangential Friend' and I'm finding it's perky enough to lighten my mood without being grating, and quiet enough to be calming.  I'm not really good at categorizing music, but it's kinda glitchy and quietly ambient, and it makes me think of watching clouds go by.

They also did an Ib song called 'Let's Keep Our Flowers' which I also liked.

Because MSTing requires mood music!  Snark doesn't just write itself.  And because shared pain is lessened, while shared joy is increased.  Enjoy! (Note: link leads to file folder; you can download whichever songs you like from there. Er, in theory.  If it doesn't work, would you please let me know?)

I haven't put up a mix in a while.  Like system soundtracks, certain things I write have music associated with them, music I listen to pretty constantly.  Some of you might enjoy it, so here, have a mix.  So, at Lee's request, here's the one for Specialist Grey and Comboy Bob stuff.  You can probably guess who has which songs.

The Mix

( Track List )

I made an Infinity Smashed mix-tape.

Yes, I carry blank tapes.  I like making tapes.  Even though CDs are better sound quality, last longer and... you know, aren't obsolete.  But I like the feeling of putting the songs on one at a time.  I actually enjoy spending a couple hours making one stupid tape, instead of putting together a playlist and clicking the 'burn' button.  I don't keep that much music on my computer, and my stereo can tape from tapes, records, and CDs, so it's more effective.

I didn't make it through all the Infinity Smashed songs either.  I'm going to have to make another tape for the techno and the opera drinking songs and the Spanish.

I realized this week that Infinity Smashed is over ten years old.  Damn.

( The IS Mix-Tape Songs )

Now, I've got a zine, at least one comic, and a handful of stories to work on.  The night is young!

( A song that will cheer you up forever. )

Jadies and lentilmen, lend me your ears!

So, following the noble tradition of the Choir and the Boostle Fanmix 4.0, we're doing system member soundtracks for your fun and enjoyment.  Mac's was meant to go up first, but... well... his album art is being a bitch.  Gigi, dear thing that she is, had some already available.

Thus do we proudly present Ghost: a Gigi Mix.  All the creepy little girl music you can shake a spider at!
01. Hace Mucho, Mucho Tiempo - Javier Navarrete
02. Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven
03. Creepy Doll - Jonathan Coulton
04. Monster Hospital - Metric
05. It's Just Like Surgery - the Warlocks
06. Blood - My Chemical Romance
07. He's No Good For You - New Blood Revival
08. Missed Me - Dresden Dolls
09. Apres Moi - Regina Spektor

Beware the big zip for it is HOOJ.  Besides all the songs listed above plus a playlist and lyrics, you also get some nice little snippets of album art doodles for songs #3, 13, and 10, and a front and back cover.  So yes!  You too can make yourself a little Gigi album!  Also, putting up all the songs individually.  Links coming as they're put up, so might go through a bit of cycling.

Enjoy, folks!

EDIT: Also, if you guys could do us a favor and mention how familiar you are with the songs, that'd be cool.  Trying to keep the soundtracks to a mix so it's not something everyone's seen before.
