let it roll right off your shoulders

It's a beautiful day here in the sunny Northern Rivers region, and I am sitting inside sneezing sullenly all over my laptop in the hope that I can finish this stupid EBM assignment before my immune system completely gives out

Oh, DO I EVER. Well, I pretty much get 95% of my music from movies/TV, so almost all my music is meaningful to me because of the associations more than anything else :P

First let me get this out of the way: seconded on 'Goodbye to You' ;_____; aughhh. Another Buffy one that I actually have a cool story about is the Sundays version of Wild Horses - the song that Buffy and Angel dance to at her prom. Being the nerds that we are, me and my friend ended our prom night slow dancing around my living room to this song. So I get like, both fictional and real-life nostalgia when I listen to it :P

Here are some of my big ones (ignore all the random music videos on youtube):

- Glosoli is a gorgeous song on its own, but it definitely took on this extra mysterious and magical quality after it was used on Heroes (back in glorious season 1 when it was still awesome of course.)

- Swans is from Grey's Anatomy. I think I actually saw the episode it was used in (I never really watched that show) and it made the moment pretty powerful... but funnily

Oh my god, those fan-compiled soundtracks sound like the best thing in the WORLD. How can I bribe you to mail me a data DVD stuffed full of them? I once downloaded a fan-compiled Bones soundtrack and it was just. Amazing. So much wonderful music!

[inknose]

um, you could bribe me by linking me to that Bones one :O hahah. I can totally upload them for you! Or at least the best of ;) it is true that it would take some huge data CD to send you the Buffy one, for example. The Buffy one was a torrent of every song that was ever on Buffy or Angel - some of them that just get referenced in the dialogue, not even played - organized by episode. It took me like a full week to download it xD I don't even have half the songs on my computer right now because I was just too overwhelmed to go through them once I actually had them all. I HAVE AN ADDICTION

I can't remember where I got it, actually, maybe somewhere in the bowels of the 206_bones memories? I'm okay for Buffy music, I have quite a fair bit of it, but the other shows sound great. (And I can't really download large files, so I'd prefer something in the mail!)

I remain inordinately fond of the No Doubt song "Hella Good" because of its use in the second season of "Alias"-- which I am very sad I can't find a good YouTube clip for, as it was basically the most badass thing ever.

Also: this entire Avatar FST, or why I cannot listen to the Peter Gabriel song "Sky Blue" without tearing up.

[inknose]

oh my gosh thank you for linking to that FST! I clicked on it and was like "PLEASE LET THIS BE THE AVATAR I'M THINKING OF - YESSSS"

[deutscheami]

Heh, when I posted my comment I spent a few seconds looking at it and thinking that I probably should've added that whole helpful "Last Airbender" bit!

I LOVE that FST so much-- I hope you enjoy it too!

Friday Night Lights, "Devil Town" (Tony Lucca) and "I Made a Resolution" (Sea Wolf). I don't remember if you continued with FNL. But the "I Made a Resolution" scene was so catastrophically perfect I've never recovered.

[fahye]

OH HEY YOU'RE ALIVE

I never continued past S1, no.

[themis]

"DEVIL TOWN" GOOD CALL.

Oh, "All This Time" from FNL too.
