In lieu of fic, mp3s

So I'm not sure where I got this idea that Kamio Akira mostly favors euphoric house/trance with minimal lyrical importance - gremlin lore, basically, yet I'm convinced enough of it that it's spawned a whole thought-train of personal amusement that rather fails the st00pidity test for sharing with the world at large. (Kamio is an Avex h0 yet he hates them on principle for the copy protection. Kamio fits the classic illegal downloader profile. Kamio has a "Chillout Mix" in which the songs occasionally fall below 120bpm, shokku. Kamio has no idea what this Queer As Folk show is but he thinks the mp3s are kind of ace - okay, see, I'll shut up while I'm ahead.) So rather than write a drabble that, like, attempts to give metaphoric significance to Kamio's adventures on WinMX, I made a mix. Figured the flist at large would like it better this way, as you can download and listen even if you don't care about my crackpot TeniPuri fictheories.

Of course, if you do care about Kamio and his travails, you should probably think of the above as a form of fic. (Gen fic, not slash. Meaning no Pet Shop Boys, no Kylie, nothing off the QaF OSTs, and no "Rhythm Is A Dancer". I would never - she says with a straight face - actually make a boy some kind of laughingstock because he dances to disco and doesn't like rock.) It's in character, because if I were left to my own devices there would be, y'know, a lot more New Order and Felix da Housecat and random electro schtuff. The compromise is that all of them are great pop songs, at least in a past unremixed life, because Kamio-in-my-head is perfectly happy to listen to 12-minute vocalless jungle tracks but that shit puts me to sleep, j0.

Waaaah

I... don't know how people can write GetBackers fic with the magazine serialisation where it is. O_O Props to ye, Wen and Ex. These days I open up the Word document(s), look at the most recent sentence, go "..." and close it again. GB being GB, I'm in near-total denial regarding character um you know and all that, but Fangirl Right Thinking will only get one so far. I just want the current story arc to be over, the other shoe and all pairs of boots dropped, so as to know whether I have a choice about writing devastating angst or not. T_T

...I should go back to the translation. Should, could.

(This post is mostly to say hi to the new people, because I've been having someone friend me, like, every other day. I am flattered but have to wonder, 'cos it's not that interesting, I don't think. XD;; Unless you heard through the grapevine that there were mp3s to be had from time to time, in which case I don't blame ya.)

EDIT -- And keep forgetting to mention - Justin lent me Initial D First Stage in proper Japanese fansubs! :O Justin! Who's been making a huge point of never watching anime anymore for, like, the past two years! Even a salted fish sometimes flips, as they say. (More to the point, even Justin has his character fetishes; give him main characters who're insanely powerful/l33t, like FSS!Amaterasu or Takumi, and he'll get caught up in amusement at the other charas freaking out. Wonder if he'd like Prince of Tennis? <3)

EDIT2 -- serendip's post reminds me, as I am useless even when the object in question is directly in front of my keyboard: Tin, your card arrived. ^____^ 'Tis veddy kewl, I have never gotten anything from the Phillipines before. *ooos lamely over postmark* It's kind of nice that mail from Asia is only now arriving, and that I'm only beginning to send things out myself ^^;;, because it extends the holiday feel. And I'm very much needing that January pick-me-up.

(Y'know that link going around about the Japanese manga publisher who was convicted of obscenity? Guess what I'm doing.

Flist!chorus: "Checking out the Tennipri doujinshi anthologies on said publisher's webpage?"

...Dang, I'm so predictable.)
