My hp_beholder fic is done. Commence flippin' out about rarewomen fic in ten, nine, eight...

Guys, this is how behind on stuff I am: I am even behind on memes. Here's one from a while back:

1. If you'd like to play along, reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. You then list at least five songs that start with that letter.
3. Then, as I'm doing here, you'll post the list to your journal with the instructions.

thimble_kiss gave me S.


Sonate pour violoncelle et piano en ré mineur - Claude Debussy
I always find Debussy's work very character-y. The cello and the piano in this piece are clearly people, and they're in some kind of complex relationship where they're dancing around each other and never quite finding a satisfying resolution — that anticlimactic ending! I especially love the hesitancy in the middle movement (starts at 4:05), which suggests instruments warming up.

See You Round Like a Record - Little Nell
Well, apparently this is suffiently obscure that it's not even on YouTube. Little Nell is best known for playing Columbia in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. She is also quite a nice lady, and once told my then-girlfriend at a convention that her outfit looked "saucy", which I never heard the end of. Anyway, her career as a solo artist wasn't particularly long or illustrious, but I like this 50s-style song a lot.

Special to Me - Phantom of the Paradise
Jessica Harper, I can't even. *_*

Song Three Blues - Alberta Cross
I kinda dig this band, which I first heard of when I saw some people having a ridiculously vituperative online argument about whether they qualified as "country". Do they? I dunno, but I know what I like.

Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
Great song that starts with S, or the greatest song that starts with S?

I finally got (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/hp_beholder/profile)hp_beholder (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/hp_beholder/), so now it's time for me to flip out about springtime_gen and Remix.

I'll take a letter, since I'm also behind on my meme quota. That Little Nell song is awesome, by the way!
