So, I forgot all about making a cohesive post once the entire brainbaby fell out of me. Oops.
At long last, the chapter and soundtrack collective!

Livingsoulz - Venus in Furs (Rockabilly Ending) .rar fileI noticed that the tags in the uploaded files and the tracklisting here are different. Please change your tags accordingly to what is currently listed. As in, from Thomas Miller to Livingsoulz.
A friend asked me why there was so much well-known, popular music on the soundtrack and then weird ones so I’ll explain. The Who reflects the emotions that exist on Martha’s Vineyard. When Conan returns to the vineyard, the mood is completely different. There is a rebirth, a reinvention of self, when he goes back, which is why there is no music by The Who at the end-instead, there is Billy Idol. Unfortunately, the song by The High Numbers, a song used by Sarah in the timeline quite effectively, taunts her later. However, since this is a frame story, you get the bad first, then the good.
Also, I used some of the pop music of the time as a symbolic intrusion. Whenever they were in public, the time period butt itself in. Other times I used older, classic songs to reflect how timeless this love triangle-type story is, in the scheme of things. So if you scoffed at the poppy music, don’t worry-I did, too. Just felt it was necessary to bring the reader back to the time period, because it’s terribly easy to get lost in frame stories (or it is for me-some of you kids out there have more genius than I).
And why did Livingsoulz contribute to the album? I wanted a rockabilly version of “Venus in Furs” and I knew that wasn’t a likely find on the interbutts. He offered to do it. I thought it’d be super kool to have an exclusive song by someone I actually know on it. So yes, it’s part novelty, and part functional, since not everyone may know what rockabilly sounds like. So he did it. Yay! Conan loves to change up arrangements to songs and loves rockabilly, so it seemed like a logical fit for there to be a song like this on the album to represent how he started doing this kinda thing early on.
