Aw, I have a lot of Muse songs (including that one), is that something I should be ashamed of?

[lotus0kid]

Noo, I just... meh, Muse... such a post-boy band era boy band...

[visiblemarket]

Pfft, I have a ton of post-boy band era boy band and also a couple of regular boy band songs, I feel only marginal shame about them. A persona can't listen to Real Tuesday Weld or I Am Kloot all the time.

[lotus0kid]

Heh, you can probably define The Fratellis and The Rifles "post-boy band era boy bands" too, but... they're foreign, so it doesn't count, SO THERE.

[visiblemarket]

*laughs* If you say so. I will just sit and listen to my Dashboard Confessional songs unironically and get great enjoyment out of them. Well, some of them.

[lotus0kid]

I cannot and will not deny that "Vindicated" is a Plaude song to end all Plaude songs. And that's saying something.

[visiblemarket]

LOL, yes, there is that, and "Stolen" is from Scrubs so I like that one too.

[lotus0kid]

Not familiar with that one. If it's Plaude-y, I would like to be, but only if.

[visiblemarket]

Ehhh, not particularly, I don't think. Now I kind of want to make a fanmix. I haven't done that for a while either.

[lotus0kid]

Ohh fanmixes. A while ago I got some organized, then lost interest. I dunno, it feels weird not to make an album cover now, but I still lack the skillz to make anything like a decent one. And I'm still toying with an instrumental mix.

[visiblemarket]

I have an ongoing OTP playlist on iTunes that I'll randomly drop songs into when I'm listening to them and they seem relevant, but it would probably require some pruning. I kind of want to make cover art with THAT manip now, but it would require going to ask the artist about it and at this point that feels awkward. I downloaded a really good instrumental mix recently, I don't remember what it was.

[lotus0kid]

I do the same thing- I'm up to 86 tracks. I'm sure the manip's artist would be totally flattered if you asked.

The thing about an instrumental mix is I feel like people's responses to instrumental music can be extremely subjective. Just because one piece of music screams Plaude to me doesn't mean it will at all to anyone else. I can't even say exactly why they do.

[visiblemarket]

It's been so long though, they're just going to be like, "Really, you guys are still at this?"

Well, I'll admit I would not be quick to go "Ahah! Plaude!" at any instrumental music, but I'd still listen to it, and even if they don't hear the Plaude, they'll still have the music and enjoy it. Win/win.

[lotus0kid]

I doubt they would. I mean, they cared enough to make the manip, they know what it's like to enjoy this pairing. It would be messed up of them to judge you. FYI, I'm currently working up the nerve to ask a writer if I can adapt a concept from a Stargate Atlantis fic she wrote in 2006 for a Plaude fic.

To be fair, some instrumental tracks I have and might include are closely tied in my head to fics I've written. So, I dunno, I guess that gives me something more concrete than someone just hearing the track(s).

[visiblemarket]

Mm, perhaps. Well, that's certainly a fandom I know nothing about, so no comment there.

Most of the instrumental tracks I have in my iTunes are from movies, so that's what I tend to associate them with. Maybe you could name/link to whatever fics you've written and associate with each song.

[lotus0kid]

I've never watched a full episode, so... well, that just shows how good that fic was. Buuut it doesn't seem like the writer's been active since sometime last year, and she didn't respond to my comment on the story where I asked for permission. I'm trying e-mail next.

Oh, I would totally self-pimp, for sure. That's, like, a given, right there.
