Sitting To Know Your Collection October (24) Round Up

______________________________________________________________

Sitting To Know Your Collection: Week 41 (October 7th - October 13th)

Album: Madboy (2019) by UnityTX Play Count: 2 and some change. Top 2 Tracks: - Ruckus (Track 1) - Piece Of Mind (Track 6)

This one hit the spot as soon as I put it on. Sometimes one just needs heavy music that you know was meant for the melanated hard core folks. I’m not a fighter but listening to this on my way to work really gave me the right kind of attitude. Some tracks were better than others, but overall I’m just saying that I had a good time with it.

Sitting To Know Your Collection: Week 42 (October 14th - October 20th)

Album: Songs About Jane (2002/2003) by Maroon 5 Play Count: 3 Top 2 Tracks: - The Sun (Track 6) - She Will Be Loved (Track 4)

Say what you want about the modern version of Maroon 5, but “Letters To Jane” Maroon 5 is not the version to be mad about. (Generally speaking, I don’t know the 2003 lore and don’t want to know lol.) Anyway it’s more sensual and more jazzy than I remember it being. It’s a a solid vibe in the background, kind of album. Another one that is nice to revisit from time to time, where you’re not going to hate having it on or at least I didn’t.

Sitting To Know Your Collection: Week 43 (October 21st - October 27th)

Album: Acoustic Volume 2 (2018) by Bayside Play Count: 3 Top 2 Tracks: - It Don’t Exist (Track 3) - I Think I’ll Be Okay (Track 10)

I’ve been trying since Steven’s Untitled Rock Show to get into Bayside and finally found a song that I really liked. When this CD was on its way to be recycled, I decided to take it and give the rest of the album a solid try. I will say that it ended up being better than I thought it would be, however I still gravitated towards the track I knew and loved, more so than the rest of the album. Overall the albim was rather decent and I’m glad I gave the band a better shot. Don’t know that I’ll reach for this one often, however it does make me want to try their Acoustic Volume 1 record to see if I’d be into that one as well. You know, just to see.

Sitting To Know Your Collection: Week 44 (October 28th - November 3rd)

Album: Jonas Brothers (2007) by The Jonas Brothers Play Count: 4 Top 2 Tracks: - Hold On (Track 2) - Kids Of The Future (Track 14)

I spun this album on the wheel picker right after I had just got done binging Camp Rock 1+2 a day or so prior, so it very much fit the moment. I had a lot of fun with it, granted that was before they were joking around on Twitter with the bad folks hahaha. It also works as a soundtrack for me trying to beef up my DCOM DVD collection. Just fun high school pop times, no pressure.

I destroyed a bond of friendship and respect / Between the only people left who'd even look me in the eye / Now I laugh and make a fortune / Off the same ones that I tortured / And a world screams, "Kiss me, Son of God!"

[aquanutart]

I absolutely LOVE the Squirtle/Wartortle illustrations by kantaro in Pokemon 151!

The Squirtle jumping so joyfully from the rock into the ocean, the colors are STUNNING! I love the contrast of the Squirtle's aqua blue framed in the vivid orange sky, the soft bit of blue reflecting in its shell and its tail just catching the sun, how little and squishy its body looks as it launches itself towards the water with such tremendous excitement!

The lineless style of the background gives me the feel of a travel poster and I sense the tropical environment around it from the rocks and trees framing the corners, the waterfall splashing with as much energy as the Squirtle!

The layered blues on the surface of the water and the bubbles rising at the corner make me FEEL the liquid rising to meet the Squirtle--I can just feel how the next moment it's going to break through and be immersed in a cool island swim!

And the Wartortle running along the sunset beach, this is somehow everything I always imagined for Wartortle! I adore the way the rich purple melts into the warm red/orange sky, the matching purple clouds and shadows in the foreground, and how the dimming sunlight glows red on Wartortle's deep blues!

I love how the yellow and orange of the sky illuminate the lapping waves, I can just feel the gentle motion of the sea at dusk. The aqua color of the ocean matches Wartortle's ears and tail and sets off the red-orange sand, I just love how the colors are here!

Wartortle looks so round and squishy, I love its happiness as it goes frolicking through the shallows, chasing the bubbles caught in the setting sun! The shine and deep shadow on its shell give it an almost jewel texture like real tortoise shell; I love the silhouetted splash Wartortle leaves as it goes running across the shore. It's so full of energy and delight at the end of a gorgeous day! The colors in these are SO vivid and harmonized and the style is so cute and bursting with energy and joy. I just LOVE it (also Squirtle is my starter)

There's always a slight yearning in the back of my mind wishing I had been born in the right place, time, family situation, income level, etc. to have just lived in one single house for my entire life. Imagine being born in a place that still suits you, even through all of your personal evolutions and etc. The idea of deep familiarity with an area because you've lived and explored it for 40+ years, being encased in a web of memories and connections. Being able to clean out your old childhood bedroom and find personal artifacts, to dig in the yard and remember. I know those lives can still be plenty imperfect, but there's just something so seemingly solid and stable and Grounding about it that I sometimes wish I could have.. (At least from my outside perspective as someone who's moved around a bit geographically and even within the same area, never lives in the same house/ apartment /etc. for more than a few years usually.) Like... having a place that is printed upon, fully your own, rather than chronically a visitor, every thought of a space always tempered with the notion that one day soon you'll have to pack it all up again, etc. There's something peaceful about the permanence.

y’all ever accidentally stay up doing smth bc you can’t quit doing smth half way through (or in this case stop collecting smth and leaving it at a number that’s not a multiplication of 5) so you tell yourself you’re gonna finish that part but then you forget that you meant to quit so you start smth new which means you can’t quit bc now you’ve got smth unfinished again so you’ll feel extremely dissatisfied and also lowkey physically can’t leave it alone

[prince-liest]

!!! 👀 you’re on the dragons website? uh by which I mean, hello, greetings fellow human (?). may be a weird ask but your fics are the kind of shit I just read on repeat because they’re so goddamn good for my brain in every single way BUT I haven’t sat down and wrestled my brain into submission in order to comment on them yet, so could I buy you something nice on FR to show my appreciation in the meantime? my old account and everything in it has just been rotting lol I keep telling myself I’ll go spend it all on art or something but I just.. never do. thank you for the gift of your writing, it’s kind of making my tentative foray into this fandom more bearable ❤️

GASP!! You're amazing, and that's such a lovely offer for you to make! <3 I'm always genuinely so delighted when people enjoy my stories enough to give them more than one read, so thank you so much!!! This is not a weird ask at all, I genuinely appreciate it! And hey, I get it - comments can be hard, I also can often have a hard time leaving them despite being a writer myself!

I am indeedy on the dragons website, and I am in fact a filthy dragon capitalist who is very invested in their underground designer dragon mill (read: I run a hatchery) but has recently gone broke buying too many genes for a specific project, ehehehe.

I actually just finished my Cupid and Psyche breeding project!

Cupid is still a baby nocturne who, tragically, is going to need three gem genes (iridescent, butterfly, and koi) because despite having four separate breeding pairs to nail the colors on him, I couldn't get one that also had the genes I needed! So if it's something that is within your range, I would be genuinely very appreciative of one of those gene scrolls! If not (they are Pretty Expensive), I also have a wishlist over here! Aside from retired fest items I'm slowly collecting from the years I missed, it's mostly a few scene backgrounds! :)

Haha, I hope it's okay that this basically became a chance for me to show off the latest breeding pair. x) Thank you very much again, and it's always fun to see other folks that play(ed) Flight Rising!

Sitting To Know Your Collection September (24) Roundup

______________________________________________________________

Sitting To Know Your Collection: Week 34 (September 2nd - September 8th)

Album: Public Warning (2006) by Lady Sovereign Play Count: 1 and Some Change Top 2 Tracks: - Public Warning (Track 4) - My England (Track 6)

Fun, but you can tell she’s doing what they do currently, which is talk a bunch in hopes that someone will say something to try and get her “canceled.” Or the other more common one of the 2000’s , “I’m not like other girls.” It’s not every song, but they are themes that exist across the album. She’s just being cocky and getting a little bit in your face. It goes on my imaginary list of unofficial music that gives me UK Skins or Misfits vibes. I liked it more than I thought I would. The beats are actually pretty good and she does have some decent flows tucked in there, the album as a whole just might be much for some folks.

PS: It’s gonna be a long 4 years and if you use humor and music to cope add the song Tango to the playlist lol. 😂 🍊

TW: A lot of use of the M-word, in reference of herself.

Sitting To Know Your Collection: Week 37 (September 2nd - September 8th)

Album: There’s A MOTH In Your Chest (2007) by Mason Proper Play Count: 4 Top 2 Tracks: - The World Is Smaller Than You Think (Track 8) - Blue Lips Eternal Inquiry (Track 18)

I got this album from my boss in a pile of CDs she was giving away. I took the chance, not knowing anything about it and I will say it wasn’t bad. The bottom half of the album gave real indie-sleaze vibes. After the song The World Is Smaller Than You Think, I would look up and realized that I am paying attention now. Like it was background music until that point and then my ears were there and very interested. It’s a cool little album that I’m glad I took the chance on and will now check out their second album.

Sitting To Know Your Collection: Weeks 38+39 (September 16th - September 29th)

Week 38 Album: North (2003) by Something Corporate Play Count: 4 Top 2 Tracks: - She Paints Me Blue (Track 8) - Space (Track 2)

Week 39 Album: Everything In Transit (2005) by Jack’s Mannequin Play Count: 2 and Some Change Top 2 Tracks: - The Mixed Tape (Track 2) - Rescued (Track 9)

Note: I combined these two because they bled so closely into one another during their binge time.

September was my concert month and Something Corporate was the 2nd show I was going to. Since I needed to beef up my knowledge, I chose North first and added in Everything In Transit just in case they added in any Jack’s Mannequin into the setlist.

It was a great binge that first week, even if it was for a “homework” assignment. I was falling in love with the pop punk, piano rock that I had no doubts about. It just worked. That second week however took a little bit of a dive.

By that second week for EIT, I had consumed so much Something Corporate that I was a little tapped out. It was running through my Spotify on loop as well. That was also the week of the concert, so it was truly just a lot. Don’t get me wrong, the album is great and the show was fantastic, I was just ready to listen to something/someone else by the end of that two week period.

Sitting To Know Your Collection: Week 40 (September 30th - October 6th)

Album: I Wish We All Could Win (2005) by The Afters Play Count: 2 Top 2 Tracks: - Beautiful Love (Track 1) - Until The World “Theme from Beautiful People.” (Track 2)

This album was so youth group that although decent, was a little heavy handed for me. This is the second “Christian Rock” album from “the scene” that I spun this year. When I was more actively listening to The Afters, you know around high school, I was more into their MySpace stuff and didn’t realize just how religious it all really was. It wasn’t bad by any means, but if that’s not your vibe, it can feel like a lot. Not saying I didn’t know, just that I wasn’t aware of how much of it was actually a feature cause I mostly played the hits all the time. The re-listen left nothing to vibes though. Even if this wasn’t your thing, go check out the lead single “Beautiful Love” and you’ll probably be reminded of something from your past, whether MySpace or a TV show and that’s enough for me.

hiatus 🥺

saw Ferre's post from a few days ago and felt WELP might as well make it official on my end as well~ no worries or concerns, i am merely either working or completely devoid of any creative juices, truly, i stare at my fingers and dramatic music starts playing as i wonder where my writing has gone

i plan on cleaning up around mythvoiced while i take an official break from invading y'all's notifications, and that will probably entail a drastic cut on muses. DRASTIC! my deepest apologies to the people who i might impact like this (yknow, our lil threads 🥺) but i just think it's?? better to put those folks on ice that i can't wring anything out of anymore, those damn idiots DAMN IT gosh i haven't posted anything in here in what feels like ages i have lost TOUCH with the VIBES

but yes, thank you for your patience & pls have a lovely timezone TELL ME IF SOMEONE'S MEAN, I'LL FIGHT

[midnightwind]

I love Dragon Age companion quests, but sometimes I wish we had more that didn't culminate in fighting a Big Personal Bad, you know

[airenyah]

Hi, I came to report to you that your ql music research is rubbing off on me 😅 I was watching ep 2 of Ploy's Yearbook (for Joong and Namtan 😍), when suddenly I recognized a piece of music!! But I couldn't place it, so I tried to remember which series have I watched so many times that I'm familiar with the music. I reached the tentative conclusion that it must be from SIMM or possibly from Hidden Agenda (but I definitely connected it to JoongDunk). Maybe I need to do a complete rewatch of both series to confirm, what a hardship 😂 I just wanted to tell you that maybe aside from being a JD vampire bl truther, this will be your other legacy

oh my god, that's amazing!!!!!! i LOVE to hear that!!!!! i'm actually planning on making a side blog focused on shared royalty free music in thdramas, but that's something that is earliest going to happen in the summer if not in the winter. i wanna work my way through some of my fave shows first, because those are the soundtracks i'm more likely to recognize and i just wanna have them on my google doc before i go put everything in tumblr posts (which is also gonna take forever bc my google doc is currently at 100 pages worth of entries sjkfkjsfdj)

aaaaanyway, re: music in ploy's yearbook

was it by any chance desert caravan by ludvig moulin? i haven't watched ep2 yet (i was actually about to go watch it when your message came in and i couldn't help answering it first kjdkfdg), but i did see a clip of it earlier in jimmy's insta story and the scene had this music in the background. it has come up in episode 1 already as well. if it was this, then good job on connecting it to a joongdunk show because it actually has come up on hidden agenda a couple of times! i'm still missing the last 3 episodes on my music collection, but these are the time stamps so far:

ep1 pt1 - 0:13

ep3 pt2 - 0:20

ep4 pt1 - 4:32

ep8 pt4 - 8:08

And here are the time stamps for ep1 of ploy's yearbook:

ep1 pt1 - 11:10 / 17:41

ep1 pt2 - 1:50

ep2 pt1 - 9:38

ep2 pt2 - 0:27

ep2 pt3 - 3:09

ep2 pt4 - 3:07

you might also have recognized get up on that horse by spring gang as the music that plays in bad buddy at the beginning of ep7 when pat is in the car (ep7 pt1 - 1:20) or also in ep12 when patpran claim they broke up (ep12 pt3 - 3:45). oh but wait, it's definitely connected to joongdunk, you said? well, as it turns out this one has actually come up in star in my mind a lot. like. A LOT:

ep1 pt2 - 5:55

ep2 pt1 - 4:00

ep2 pt4 - 1:02

ep3 pt2 - 1:15

ep3 pt3 - 1:55

ep3 pt4 - 1:17

ep6 pt2 - 1:23

ep7 pt2 - 1:48

ep7 pt4 - 0:48

ep8 pt1 - 4:33 / 5:41

ep8 pt3 - 5:07

and here are the time stamps for ep1 of ploy's yearbook again for reference:

ep1 pt1 - 13:00

ep1 pt2 - 2:26

ep2 pt1 - 8:37

and here, have a bonus because why the fuck not: moonshiner's turn by martin landström. this one has shown up in ep1 pt4 of both bad buddy as well as 23.5 degrees. also found in ep1 of ploy's yearbook at:

ep1 pt1 - 18:53

ep1 pt3 - 6:16

ep2 pt1 - 0:35 / 17:30

well, i'm gonna go watch the new episode now! feel free to check back on this post in a couple of hours, i might edit it or add a reblog with all my findings about the music in ep2 😂

edit:

i've added the ep2 time stamps to the aforementioned ones! and i found new music as well!!

maybe the one you recognized as a joongdunk series music in ep2 was winning hand by ealot. it came up in star in my mind a couple of times:

ep1 pt4 - 3:00

ep2 pt2 - 2:20

ep4 pt2 - 9:16

ep8 pt3 - 4:17

it featured in ep2 of ploy's yearbook at following timestamps:

ep2 pt1 - 16:58

ep2 pt3 - 3:45

and there was some more bad buddy music as well (diggin' the drama by the new fools) and it amazes me that my brain immediately went "we know this!!" considering it showed up in bad buddy exactly one single time (ep7 pt2 - 13:45). bad buddy really has wormed its way into my brain in every single aspect in the last two years huh djkfkjdfg. anyway you can find it in ep2 of ploy's yearbook at:

ep2 pt1 - 11:10

apart from these, there were also two pieces of music that sounded increeeedibly familiar to me but neither shazam nor google could come up with any results! i'm gonna have to click through my "not found" list at some point, maybe they're already there. here are the time stamps if you're curious:

first one i can't find (ep2 pt3 - 2:06)

second one i can't find (ep2 pt3 - 7:09)

this is gonna bug me for a while....
