Music of Fenspace? - Cobalt Greywalker - 08-30-2007 Amoung the many thoughts bouncing around my head, one decided to tap me on the shoulder. Whereupon I got mugged by a lot. 1) Do the Blue Blazers actually perform? Buckaroo likes his music you know... 2) Are there any bands in Fenspace? 3) Have any 'Dane-side bands toured Fenspace? 4) Should we make a soundtrack for Fenspace ala Undocumented Features? (I ask because I recently picked up the latest Darren Hayes album, and there are two songs back-to-back that to my mind exemplify different perceptions of The Professor.) Re: Music of Fenspace? - Ebony - 08-30-2007 Quote:As it says in the quirks of the WW1, the Blazers are working on it. The problem is that not all of them are musically inclined. J. is a trained musician, playing lead and bass guitar, and songwriter. Blackstone is more of a deejay, specializing in mixing and cutting tracks, but he also plays keyboard and noodles a little on acoustic guitar. Other Blazers do play, but at this point, there is no official BBI band. Buckaroo is encouraging them, though. It's a matter of time. Quote:Referencing the comment about Brian May getting his Ph.D. in Astrophysics, Buckaroo would be glad to help Paul Rogers and Queen get up out of the Really Real World and tour for the fen. Given the influences among the fen, I bet he'd get Paul to ask his kids if they wanted to come along. (Paul Rogers, formerly of Bad Company and Free, has been singing lead for Queen for a few years. His son and daughter are the lead vocalists for Boa, the band that composed the opening them to "Serial Experiment Lain.")Ebony the Black Dragon Senior Editor, Living Room Games http://www.lrgames.com Ebony the Black Dragon http://ebony14.livejournal.com "Good night, and may the Good Lord take a Viking to you."

(Not my suggestion - ClassicDrogn suggested it in this thread.) The entrepenurial spirit, in space... Asu e no Brilliant Road (a.k.a. "the Stellvia theme"), angela. Uplifting, optimistic, and fast-paced, just like Fenspace. (Not being recommended just becasue of my character's space station, really... ) Star Trekkin', The Firm. The definitive Fenspace Trekkie song. Banned from Argo, Leslie Fish. The definitive Fenspace anti-Trekkie song.

Re: Music of Fenspace? - ECSNorway - 08-31-2007 There are a bunch of filk-singers who've already started writing the music, actually. Look up Duane Elms, Leslie Fish, and more... Elms' We're Going Back is possibly one of my favorite songs ever. It was late in '69 That we landed that first time Man I still remember how it felt to see it And it wasn't that long then Till we were on the moon again And you could feel yourself beginning to believe it Then once more, and then again We pushed out the reach of man Each time up another set of hero's footprints But those short trips were all we made Somehow our dream it got waylaid And not a person live or dead has been up there since For what was so hard won has been abandoned Our journey to the stars got off its track We've gotta make it plain We'll no more play this waiting game We're goin' back, I swear to God, we're goin' back A page of space filk-- "I give you the beautiful... the talented... the tirelessly atomic-powered...

Re: Music of Fenspace? - Ebony - 08-31-2007 "The Banzai March" from the end credits of the movie, naturally. "Rocket 88" by Sam Phillips. This song is cited as the "first rock 'n' roll song" and is played by Billy Vera (aka Pinky Carruthers) and the Beaters in the movie. "Radar Rider" by Riggs. From the Heavy Metal soundtrack. Pretty much the rest of the soundtrack as well.

Re: Echo's Children - Valles - 09-02-2007 Mentioned this a loooong time ago, but people seem to have forgotten what I suggested as being and still feel is the ideal theme song for, if not all of Fenspace, then at least Operation Great Justice. So Insane by Smash Mouth Have you looked at the stop watch lately? When was the last time you clocked-in? There is a race to be run and a song to be sung There is a fine line wearin' thin So don't look back the past has past The future is comin' fast You better make room, we're comin' through Loud and clear We got the hands to turn this around We got the plan to make it go down We got the voice fillin' this room We got the minds, the minds that go boom Get up get out get on that train It's becoming so insane This tiny blue marble is rollin' away Have ya checked out the temperature lately? There's a fever that's about to break There is a game to be won and a song to be sung This is our battle cry, make no mistake So don't look back the past has past The future is comin' fast You better make room, we're comin' through Loud and clear We got the hands to turn this around We got the plan to make it go down We got the voice fillin' this room We got the minds, the minds that go boom Get up get out get on that train It's becoming so insane This tiny blue marble is rollin' away So don't look back the past has past The future is comin' fast You better make room, we're comin' through Loud and clear We got the hands to turn this around We got the plan to make it go down We got the voice fillin' this room We got the minds, the minds that go boom Get up get out get on that train It's becoming so insane This tiny blue marble is rollin' away We got the hands to turn this around We got the plan to make it go down We got the voice fillin' this room We got the minds, the minds that go boom Get up get out get on that train It's becoming so insane This tiny blue marble is rollin' away =============================================== "I'm terribly sorry, but I have to kill you quite horribly now." Re: Echo's Children - ECSNorway - 09-02-2007 I found this one on the Firebird Arts album "Carmen Miranda's Ghost", now long out of print, and unfortunately my copy is secondhand so I don't have a proper title or artist for it...

Unless they were previously mentioned: The Urge : It's My Time To Fly. For obvious reasons if you've heard it.. Electrasy : Cosmic Castaway. Equally obvious reasons. Queen : Princes of the Universe. Again, fairly obvious reasons. Probably one of the soundtracks to one of the various space-based Gundam Series.
