    Music Reviews Pt. 1-Periphery, Marissa Nadler, St. Vincent

    Hey guys and gals, trying something new here... people who might have been following me for a bit know I'm a big music nut. I like listening to, playing it, talking about it, and even writing about it. And since my fic-writing is going super-super slow, I was looking for a way to flex those writerly muscles while I wait for my muses to wake the hell up. So, I'm going to try to post reviews of

    R.I.P. Oderus Urungus

    For any of you who like me, are metal fans, and also with a taste for extremely juvenile humor, this is going to be sad news.

    On Sunday, Dave Brockie, also known as Oderus Urungus, founder and lead vocalist for the legendary Shock Metal band GWAR was found dead in his home in Richmond, VA. Cause at this time is not known.

    The Doktor's Best Albums of 2013 List (Because You Should Care About This.)

    Yep, it's that time again... you see, I have this crazy fantasy of being a music journalist in my head, and I'm totally obsessed with best-of lists, so I'm going to take advantage of my little pulpit here and share my thoughts on the year in music with the... (does quick count) Four? of you that care. Besides, if I can get just one of you to listen to a Gorguts record, then I've made the world

Audio Inspiration · 5:02am Jan 2nd, 2013

Chapter 5 of "A Canterlot Courtship" is officially underway. Looks like four scenes at this point. Still shooting for my typical chapter size of 7 to 8k words. It slows my posting down, but I think it makes the chapters flow better, particularly in a story like this with little 'action.'

One of my pre-readers and I were talking about this the other day, and the subject of the proper music for the TwiMac pairing came up. Her suggestion-

-Really, that's just perfect.

Got any ideas? Send them, I'd love to see!

Never really thought of music and shipping going together. Generally music just puts me into mindsets of single ponies focusing on something else. Perhaps I'll take a browse through my acoustic solo lists and give it some thought...

Also, new chapter being worked on is some serious :yay:

It is very :yay:, particularly because I think it's starting with a scene that I've been punting for two chapters. An idea I've really liked, that I just couldn't make work anywhere so far. One of the season three eps from a few weeks back gave me an idea for a new direction with it that I'm rather pleased with.

And yes, send me music! My other fic, "Pony Rock Opera", does kinda betray my love for Metal, but really I'm a musical omnivore. I have Slayer and Sarah McLachlan chilling in my CD case, perfectly happy together.

This one here is one that strikes me as fitting TwiMac as you are writing it; calm and down to earth, a gentle force drawing two hearts together rather than a whirlwind of mad passion, all dusted with that little bit of magic. :twilightsmile:

That is gorgeous. Fingerstyle guitar fits them so, so, well, and I also love this as a guitarist myself.

MUST WRITE TWIMAC CUDDLING...:derpyderp1:

Years and years ago, when I first got into writing fanfic, I wrote a story in the Teen Titans fandom that had Beast Boy having a big feelings talk with Raven after receiving an acoustic guitar that once belonged to his late father, and that was instrumental (no pun intended) in bringing his mom and dad together. This is the kind of gentle, lovely song I'd imagine being played on that.

So much :yay::yay: from you lately... its so awesome :rainbowkiss:
recap: Music! A structured sport game for ponies in which Mac gets to show-off for his lady Love! (And apparently Celestia :trollestia:)! and you hinting at the Fluer-Fancy love story I kind put in your head... my bad :derpytongue2:(I honestly believe they are a underused couple...)!!
any who hope you have fun with your writings!! they're such a treat to read :twilightsmile:

Indeed it was you that got me idly thinking about it, I brought it up to my pal Calliope, and within a few minutes we'd sketched out a rough idea of how the basics would/could play out. It's in the queue... I'd say it might write when one of the other two pony fics is done, or nearly done. Can't be exactly sure, since I officially have no idea how long ACC is going to be now.

Also my pal Orange (yes, that's what we call her) and I traded texts at work today while I was pretending to be productive... Got a few ideas for chapter two of "Pony Rock Opera," and I think I have an idea for the basic personality of former lead singer Pokey Pierce. Kinda burnt out 'legend in his own mind' wannabe rock star, I was thinking kind of a combination of David Lee Roth from Van Halen and Spiccolli from (the movie) Fast Times at Ridgemont High. We'll see how it goes.

Cool, I like it! Never seen Angel Beats, might have to see if Crunchyroll has it...

It's pretty good, but also highly depressing.

674026
Haha, maybe I should give it some space, then. I'm currently watching Puella Magi Madoka Magika. Might be too much depression for one go!:raritycry:

"Do You Believe in Magic," Aly and AJ cover, one of the happiest songs out there.

Original "Walking on Sunshine" not that Glee stuff

"1234" by plain white t's was my wedding's first dance so I'm pretty biased to it lately :twilightsmile:

There's the newlywed! :heart: Great songs, from my other fav brainy girl who loves a farmboy!

You know, I don't think I ever posted my own addition to the playlist...
