...Uh. Basically, my weekend was swallowed up by that doujin project that Kimmy offered to me, BUT IT IS DONE NOW. I CAN GO BACK TO doing nothing productive whatsoever ALL THAT OTHER STUFF I MEANT TO DO BEFOREHAND. D8

Is anybody willing to read the script for me? I need feedback~

orz I'm supposed to have more music on this post for dreamlessness, but my connection is being bitchy. T_T Please content yourself with these ones first, folks.


Special Mix: Sadface Songs - The Polite Version (SET ONE)
Angsty and depressing downer pieces to lose yourself in. Link to the first set of the Rude Version of this mix will follow as soon as I put it up.


Biffy Clyro - Machines
'Cause I've started falling apart / I'm not savoring life / I've forgotten how good it could be to feel alive

I know this song sounds more sentimental than it does depressing, but if you combine the sound with the lyrics, I think it fits. Biffy Clyro's a band that's pretty damned good at this sort of ambivalence... if you're a fan of Lighthouse, I highly suggest that you check these guys out.


Chris Black - Never Mind the Snow
Couldn't find reliable lyrics, sorry. @_@

I classify this song as "That Sort of Stuff that Plays During a Death Scene". Nuff said.


Craig Armstrong - Morning Breaks


Craig Armstrong is one of my gurus when it comes to instrumentals. If I'm getting my figures right, this piece was used in Romeo & Juliet. You know, the one with Clair Danes and Leonardo di Caprio. ...An awesome soundtrack, if I do say so myself.


Crooked Fingers - A Little Bleeding
A little bleeding / A sinking feeling / The victim I would never know

Crooked Fingers is another band that does quiet/creepy/hopeless/sad really, really well without actually SOUNDING like it unless you listen carefully. They remind me of the Flaming Lips at some points.


David Gray - Disappearing World
Night falling on the city / Quite something to behold / Don’t it just look so pretty / This disappearing world

I think some of you guys will recognize this song the moment it starts playing - I think it was used either for House MD or for Smallville. Anyway, TV stuff aside, this is a really excellent piece. The vocals, the guitar and the piano balance out marvelously.


The Righteous Shall Destroy the Precious
Sorry, I can't find any reliable lyrics online. @_@

Take a mild voice, gut guitar work and lovely lyrics. If you like that combo, download this one.

♥♥ thank you for these! i like how you separated your uploads into "polite" and "rude," i did not know that sadface has those two dimensions XD speakerless atm, but can't wait to listen!

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

Ufufufufu. The Rude Sadface songs will be loud rock/industrial/goth rock selections, because I have a lot of those. There will be more stuff in the future!

You. HAVE CRAZY AWESOME SONGS.

Haha, no, seriously. I'm kind of starting to look forwards to the music posts you make. And a D18 doujin?

--THAT'S SO INCREDIBLY COOL FKJSLKFASJ

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

Uhi~ I'm glad you are. I really love to share my music! :3

I've just sent the script of the doujin into my artist friend. I sure hope she's okay with it. @_@

[yukitsu.livejournal.com]

I'LL READ IT. Can't guarantee any comments beyond the usual spazz, my brain isn't up to functioning properly. SLEEP EATING, CAN YOU BEAT THAT?

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

LOL SRSLY?

[yukitsu.livejournal.com]

SRSLY. I nod off while standing up. THIS RIGHT AFTER SLEEPING FOR TWELVE HOURS STRAIGHT? Why. But gimme a moment, will pop up in YM.

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

... *poked you already*

YAY.

I kind of want to do something along the lines of a Mixtape prompt challenge, like a much looser version of fst. Complete with cheesy CD covers. I'm really happy I inspired your muzak posting. <3

[izkariote.livejournal.com]

...That would be fun, but I don't think I can sustain the energy for that. @_@ I have lots of mixes lined up as I go through my stuff for you guys though. ♥
