Hi again. My sixth year of making music for this challenge was, well, challenging. After struggling with inspiration for a while, I went back to a community member's suggestion that they would like to hear a song about Zack Allen. While Zack himself did not prove to be an especially inspirational character for me, Jeff Conaway's recent passing got ( Read more... )

I guess we're having a free-for-all day or something? If so, I have a little something extra for you all. This summer, I did the 30 Day TV Meme in my own journal, and as you would expect I wound up talking about Babylon 5 quite a bit during it. I figured that some people from this community might be interested in reading my thoughts, so the ( Read more... )

Hi. It's my fifth year writing a song for this challenge, if you can believe that (I certainly can't). Last year, several people had requested something about Lennier, and this time around I actually manage to deliver instead of veering off into obscurity.

Instead of writing about a character as I did in the past, this time my inspiration came from one of my favorite B5 episodes (which is also in my opinion one of the most underrated), "Passing Through Gethsemane." I ( Read more... )

Hi. I wrote a song for this community last year, so I figured I'd do the same again. I recently rewatched the whole series with a friend who'd never seen B5 before, and this time around I was particularly struck by Londo and his story arc, so that's what I chose as the theme for my song. Obliquely, I suppose it contains spoilers for all five ( Read more... )

Hi. First of all I'd like to say how much I've been enjoying all of the great contributions that have been made this month. I haven't commented much, but I've been reading and looking at just about everything, and I've gotta say I'm floored by how amazingly talented everyone here is ( Read more... )
