Mod Post! August Theme!
Looks like we'll be on time, after all. If all goes well, we'll be starting the theme on August 2 or 3. Kindly go over the stamps and survey and give me your comments/suggestions. If you see any mistakes (e.g. I put the wrong composer for a song), do tell me.
THEME FOR AUGUST:
SOUNDTRACK MUSIC
Requirements
Remember, you have to have been stamped (regular stamp) before applying for the theme. Same rules (except instead of the usual, use 'Stamped; Soundtrack Theme' as part of your subject title). That is, you have to vote on 3 applications (since after you were stamped) and put the vote links (regular and theme app votes both count) before you get stamped but you can post without voting at first. ;)
Unfamiliar with the soundtrack music? Not to worry. We have quick descriptions of each track in the Stamps section. tomoyoichijouji and I also uploaded all 17 tracks so if you want to listen to them and judge for yourself, just click on the links. ^_^
Interested in the PT soundtrack? Tomoyo-chan gave me this link which leads to the torrent for all the PT OSTs.

The Story of the Kalender Prince
Adjectives: diverse, exotic (M); intelligent, strong (T)
Description: Someone who’s well traveled or well read seems to match the mood of this song (M); someone who has a lot of conflict in their lives (outside or within). (T)
Listen/Download
Ruslan and Ludmilla - Overture
Adjectives: romantic, dramatic, and exhilarating (M)
Description: I can imagine this song to represent someone who is really into romance and drama, who is also very passionate about living life to the fullest. (M)
Listen/Download
The Nutcracker - Miniature Overture
Adjectives: cute and bouncy; energetic (M)
Description: The song makes me think of someone who is somewhat clutzy but has boundless energy and enthusiasm, and is always willing to make and meet new friends. (M)
Listen/Download
Waltz of the Flowers
Adjectives:young, carefree, friendly and lively (M); lively, graceful, outgoing (T)
Description: The image I get from this song is someone in the prime of their life and having an absolute ball with it, and doesn’t have a worry in the world (M); a person satisfied with the beauty of their life and believes in that of others too. (T)
Listen/Download
Aquarium
Adjectives: mysterious, calm, hidden wisdom (M); mysterious, quiet & reserved, thoughtful (T)
Description: I think this song reminds me of someone who doesn’t like to talk very much but is in fact quite wise and kind. Note: this is not the same as being shy; it’s just that I can see this as a song for someone who is naturally quiet and maybe a little bit antisocial. (M); I also think such a person would likely often ponder the unknown. (T)
Listen/Download
The Swan
Adjectives: graceful, calm (M)
Description: I can see this song might fit people who are nice, and gentle but might be a bit more reclusive and prefer to be alone when they want to relax. Reminds me of artists who like to go out into the woods and spend a quiet afternoon sketching and enjoying the serenity of nature. (M)
Listen/Download
Danse Macabre
Adjectives: edgy and eccentric (M); also daring, thrill-loving (T)
Description:I can see this as the song for someone who might be into really new and modern things, especially regarding culture and the arts. I also think of someone who’s a bit of an adrenalin junky; someone who maybe enjoys rollercoaster rides a lot (M); it would be even beyond modern to avant-garde; they'd be outgoing yet rebels (not necessarily antagonistically but they wouldn't compromise their beliefs for others). (T)
Listen/Download
Coriolan Overture
Adjectives: intense, focused, pensive (M)
Description: I can see this as the song for someone who is very focused on one single goal. The person is very determined and skilled but that might cause him or her to become too tense and serious. (M)
Listen/Download
Gymnopedie
Adjectives: cool and classy; standoffish or shy (M)
Description: I have to say out of all the songs this definitely reminds me of someone who is truly shy or else reclusive. There’s also a touch of melancholy there, and makes me think that the person secretly yearns for something. (M)
Listen/Download
Habanera
Adjectives: flashy and slightly self-centered, dramatic (M)
Description: I think this describes someone slightly self-centered, someone who is concerned about their outer appearance. (M)
Listen/Download
Prayers of a Maiden
Adjectives: sweet, kind, gentle, simple (M/T)
Description:I imagine this as someone very kind and sweet, but simple; a person whom a lot of people like.(M)
Listen/Download
The Last Farewell
Adjectives: melancholy but affectionate (M)
Description: Makes me think of homesickness (XD;;) and a yearning for what is familiar. (M)
Listen/Download
Swan Lake - Act 2 Scene
Adjectives: powerful, courageous, but yearning and gentle (M); pure, gentle yet strong (T)
Description: eminds me of a strong mother figure for some reason. Someone who knows how to take care of people, is dependable and considerate. XD;; (M); I kinda think Scheherazade is somewhat akin to this one except Scheherazade is more worldly and complex, while this one is pure and full of love for others.(T)
Listen/Download
Swan Lake - Finale
Adjectives: focused, introspective, determined, full of dreams and hope (M)
Description: A softer version of what I feel with Coriolan Overture, with the energy radiated in a more positive form instead of the straight up intensity that Coriolan has. (M)
