somebody calling my secret name

[rhivolution]

I swear, the awesome post you're looking for is forthcoming. But it's hot today (though not as unnaturally hot as the US/Cdn East Coast or continental Europe), so you get a few points of stuff.

First, Moar LJ TPTB-Level Bias and Clusterfuck. Worth your time to read the comments too. (h/t mercredigirl)

Secondly, Festibility, an AWESOME fanworkathon featuring disabled characters (canonical or not), sponsored by access_fandom, is accepting prompts, and will start taking fanworks next week.

Thirdly, a meme from sasha_feather, who gave me the letter L: Post 5 songs (or more) that start with the letter you're given. Let me know if you'd like a letter.

Let's sway/Under the moonlight/This serious moonlight
David Bowie, "Let's Dance"
Does anyone not enjoy at least some part of this song? Seriously? It's Bowie, that's all there is to say about it.

The night you came into my life/Well, it took the bones of me, took the bones of me
Carbon Leaf, "Life Less Ordinary"
Between this and 'What About Everything?', Carbon Leaf is totally my new!Who band. This is also my RP!Doctor theme song...okay, one of them.

I can’t do what’s down my head/There’s no place to run
Santigold, "Lights Out"
bzzinglikeneon introduced me to Santigold a while back, and this is just an excellent song for dancing or walking or getting places...yeah.

I bring the water down to you/But you're too hot to touch
Buckingham/Nicks, "Long Distance Winner"
Frankly, as any Fleetwood Mac überfan knows, Buckingham/Nicks is one of the great lost albums of the 70s. If you like early 70s folk-rock or acoustic guitar, you owe it to yourself to track it down.

When it comes to luck you make your own/Tonight I got dirt on my hands but I'm building me a new home
Bruce Springsteen, "Lucky Town"
Fine, this is another Doctor Who/RP Doctor theme song, and probably my favourite Springsteen song...which is saying something, as he's got a lot of great work. I identify with it a lot.

"LET'S DANCE." ♥______♥

Also, um, "Life Less Ordinary" has been an DW song for me for basically EVER. *high-five*

Oh, give me a letter, please!

[rhivolution]

I love me some Carbon Leaf. Your letter is W.

[raanve]

I love "Lights Out"! I feel like it's against my better judgement, but WHATEVER.

I can has letter?

[rhivolution]

Better judgment? Santigold is a bit transgressive, imho.

Letter is I!

[raanve]

Oh. Possibly I should listen to more, then! I was under the impression that "Lights Out" was a great single on a meh album, and somehow my brain transmuted that to "top 40 pop". Sometimes I'm judgey that way. (Which reminds me, I need to make that post or mix or whichever it is about my "Top 40 Shame Songs". Ahh, guilty pleasures.)

I'll post for the letter I tomorrow! :D

[rhivolution]

Heh, we're all judgy, it happens. The album, I agree, is...okay.

[dagas_isa]

Letter, please? ^^

[rhivolution]

Your letter is P!

[fallingtowers]

I should really re-import all my fic to DW, just in case. I wish LJ's policies and actions were at least transparent.

[rhivolution]

That's corporate life, really. Nothing's transparent, it might ruin the business model.

...I might be bitter from two years in HR.

[fallingtowers]

Nothing's transparent, it might ruin the business model.

*cue sarcastic laughter*

I am working in the field of online media / web 2.0, and every time I share some suggestions my bosses on how to be more transparent and customer-friendly, it's dismissed as not urgent enough.

*sigh*

[rhivolution]

It are so fact. [sighs in unison]

I'm actually looking into new media/cross-platform film/tv as a career path, possibly--I did an internship in said field this spring.
