As usual, I leave myself notes when everyone else is asleep. Yeah, it's almost 3 AM, but I have thinky thoughts and I never remember this shit.


Fuck Snow Patrol and their new album. Too many songs are written for MGSverse. And damn my addiction to fanmixes.

So, "If There is a Rocket, Tie Me to It" would be a post-MS4 era Hal. "Take Back the City" is a theme song for Philanthropy. "Disaster Button" is probably a Snake song. Keep this in mind, self: the number one rule of fanmixes is don't reuse artists. Self, you will have to decide between these songs. Since you already have "Grey Room" for most-MGS4 Hal, "Rocket" is probably out of the running anyway.

I need to think about "Action/Adventure" long and hard. Is it really a Hal song or am I just projecting my big Andrew Bird love again? Damn Bird for being so ridiculously amazing. Easily my all-time favorite artist.

Also, what are the unwritten fannish rules for live versions vs. studio versions in mixes? I can't remember. Sleepy...

Going to bed nao.

I don't think there are any rules against live and studio versions, but then again I've never done an official fanmix before. But instinct says no, simply because if a live version is better at capturing the feeling you're going for, why limit yourself to the studio? It seems counterproductive to me.

Andrew Bird is my super secret indie love ^__^ the Decemberists hold the biggest piece of the indie/folk pie, but Bird is a close second.

Wow, I must have been really tired... I didn't know I made a note to self entry until you commented.

That's a good point. Plus, editing out audience cheering is pretty easy with Audacity. If I do use the live version of "Bastard" or (and I'm still unsure about this) "Action/Adventure", I'll do that.


Oooooh, the Decemberists. ♥ I love the Crane Wife album so much.
