In order not to spam, I generally will just edit this entry. FYI.
Alright, enough silliness. Time to abuse the cut function like the craziness.
First. Oh. My. Fucking. God. I never wanted to be in an MMO before, the whole format just doesn't appeal to my gaming nature. BUT IT'S NEXT GEN ERA STAR TREK OMGOMGOMG.
*coughs* Ahem. I hope it doesn't come out until I'm out of school. Else I'm doomed. All I'm saying.
Ahahaha, my boss just geeked too. I'm glad that when I yell, "OH MY GOD" at my computer, people come over to see what news I have. NERD COMPANY FTW.
So, a few of you may not know this, but I'm an avid fansoundtracker. Part of the fact of this being hidden is that![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fst is a locked community. The other is that I partially feel silly about it. Especially considering that my biggest reason for starting it is I watched High Fidelity one too many times. To the point that I want to resurrect my old disc-to-tape recorder and actually make a MIX TAPE just to hear it all warbly like it used to be... or maybe I've been listening to Visioneers too much lately.
There's actually a fair bit of drama starting up in the communities regarding what is and isn't a fan soundtrack (hereafter referred to as "FST"). Which I think is a fair bit ridiculous. There's also a certain degree of music snobbery going on (not that I don't have my own music snobberies, the likes of New Emo Movement sort of make me want to tear my hair out). I mean, sure, the same Evanescence song can feel meaningful to a lot of people and thus be used in five billion FSTs.
But since I like a couple music fandoms (Canadian Idol), part of me thinks that's just the enduring power that some artists have. Each of us has at least one musical artist that may or may not be "cool" that we think speaks to us (mine's David Bowie. I could make an entire FST from his music. I've been tempted to a couple times).
It makes me sad, mostly, to see that the participation has gone done infst in particular, because they have themes. I've found even myself making FSTs (or what some people might qualify as "mixes", honestly, I don't like splitting hairs that much) that I didn't post!
So, since I really do like this sort of thing, I'm probably going to start posting FSTs here, under an f-lock. Because I like making them and particularly like finding new music (Urbanology has been getting me back into hip-hop, because it's not the "bitches and hos" sort. I freaking adore spinners).
Also, I'm having this WEIRD urge to make a mix for Canadians. I don't know why.

And yeah. Fangirlism is fun, not stupidity. Get over yourself.
