refuse2shine: Jean-Luc Picard and Beverly Crusher in front of a fire with the words "tell me you love me" (P/C - The Scientist)
Music is a really big part of my life, so when I saw the challenge was to make works based on music, I jumped at the chance.

I bring to you two fanmixes and two sigtags featuring two of my favourite bands.

Fanmix #1: Revisiting the 80s )

Fanmix #2: Canadian Country )

I saw that [community profile] thefridayfive‘s questions today were all music related so I felt compelled to answer them.

1. What is the last song/bit of music you heard?

I’m at work at the and the radio station I picked today is playing Every Little Kiss by Bruce Hornsby. I like the song, although i’m very partial to the cover by Sara Evans as well.

2. What is the song you can't get enough of right now?

I’m kind of in between song obsessions at the moment. According to Spotify, my top song on repeat right now is Alone by Heart, which is a long time favourite.

3. What song/band did you just discover and think are great?

A friend made me a playlist recently and somehow, despite being a big classic rock fan, I had never really listened to Judas Priest before. They are very much my jam though.

4. Do you listen to the same song over and over on repeat? Why?

I am very much guilty of that. I think part of it is a neurodivergent thing. Sometimes I’ll do it if i’m writing something inspired by that song specifically.

5. Do you make music, or do you want to?

I don’t really make music but I do enjoy going out to karaoke and singing. I’ve thought about making music before but honestly, i’m more content singing just for fun.

I’m participating in the Trektober 2020 challenge as posted over at [tumblr.com profile] trektober-challenge!

Anyway, I thought I’d share my fills for each prompt here as I complete them. I’ve been really pushing myself with a few of these prompts so far, which has definitely given me some creative inspiration.

So I'm joining in on the music letter meme that's going around. [personal profile] honigfrosch gave me the letter T.

My first thought was Toronto. They're a Canadian rock band from the 70s and 80s with a female lead singer which ticks off a lot of the things I love in music. They're probably most well known for their song "Your Daddy Don't Know" which is a great tune, but I'd like to share another song with you called "Girls Night Out."



If you'd like to play along, just follow these rules in the comments:

  • Name a BAND (NOT a song, NOT a solo performer) that starts with the letter "T" and provide a YouTube link of one of their songs.

  • Please don’t Google one, just use your brain.

  • I'll then give you a letter for you to REPOST

For the Star Trek Tropes challenge over at [community profile] starfleet_hq, I decided to make two fanmixes inspired by the Dress Up Episode trope. I chose two specific Dress Up Episodes to base my fanmixes on. The first is inspired by A Fistful of Datas from TNG and the second is inspired by Our Man Bashir from DS9.

There's a great page on TV Tropes called You Know That Show where people can post shows or songs or movies they half-remember. I've posted a few things on there over the years and have had some success finding out just what it was I half-remembered. However, there have been some queries that have remained a mystery.

Well, tonight I managed to find one of the obscure Canadian country songs that I've been trying to find for years and let me tell you, it is the most satisfying feeling.

Here's the song on YouTube if you're curious.
