Beg Me For It soundtrack - uploading songs

[icarus]

Okay, I have 18 more songs to upload and the Beg Me For It soundtrack will be ready.

Because of the questionable ethics of making music publicly available for download I'm going to lock the soundtrack post to just my flist. If you want access to the files another way, email me at icarus_ancalion@yahoo.com and I'll work something out. I already have one person without an LJ account who's asked.

Now, regarding friending: normally I friend everyone who friends me. But LJ will only allow me to friend 31 more and I have 53 52 people I haven't friended since July (sorry, started new job and online time was cut severely).

I feel bad about this, I want to friend everyone back especially given the soundtrack, but I can't do anything about LJ's f-list limitations.

Comment here if you want me to friend you back. Bear in mind I never lock fics and pretty much don't lock anything. I'm thinking most people are just here for the stories and generally disinterested in anything else, which is totally cool.

I really don't mind either way - I like reading your lj posts, but I rarely comment (:D)- sorry 'bout that. So as long as I get to read your posts, it's fine with me. But do what works for you.

(Ah! Now I get it! I was wondering what the list was about. Confused for a bit I used to be "frogslayr"; so you were one of the first people I friended last May in 2004 when I first got the LJ)

As for friending back and stuff - Don't worry about me. If someone else has more Stargate or Ron centered LJs, you'll probably find them more interesting to friend back and read. :D

cheers!

Ooh, the soundtrack is nearly done! *bounces* Can't wait.

Dang, and now I have to listen to that song again. Of course. :)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Oh, I forgot you switched your LJ name. You're friended still then.

Yeah, I don't lock anything. But I'm mostly concerned that I've been pitching this soundtrack for weeks (okay, bitching about) and now I'm locking it so the people who might be interested won't have access to it.

I'll do a post with the playlist and no download links so people who aren't on the flist can either track the songs down on their own or work out an alternate solution.

It's really fine if you don't friend me, I know you have a large F-list to deal with. I just like keeping up with your journal, and I don't comment anyway. :D

[balfrog.livejournal.com]

The soundtrack had me listening to nothing but Red Hot Chilli Peppers last two weeks of August... heheh
:D

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Yet clearly you read. :D

Let's see how many people reply. The people who aren't interested won't even see their names in this post.

But while I have you here, just in case -- are you interested in an alternate method to snag the Beg Me For It soundtrack?

wildernessguru is still giving me shit about "Dancing Days," says it doesn't fit the scene with Draco teaching Ron to dance. He says Bennie Benassi's "Satisfaction" is better, but it sounds too much like a German discoteque.

It's the last sticking point and I'm ready to just upload both, neither of which quite work. Hee. I mean, it has to have an easy obvious dance beat, fast enough to wear them out, slow enough for a beginning dancer, be funky enough to stand up to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. WG says I really need some inner city black music but hell if I know any.

Can't wait to see what you've put together for this soundtrack. I already downloaded a few songs you mentioned and woman, you've got great music tastes! :D

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

Well, the horizons are definitely expanding from my original list. The soundtrack has the song-list plus each scene the song is connected to.

It includes:

Air, Soundgarden, Placebo, The Dandy Warhols, Nine Inch Nails, The Ramones, REM, Metallica, Tool, The Smiths, Red Hot Chili Peppers (of course), Sade, 3 Doors Down, Concrete Blonde, Rush, Cat Stevens, The Clash, Beastie Boys, Nina Simone, Helmet, Siouxie & the Banshees, Pink Floyd, Nirvana

Oh yeah, it's wide-ranging all right.

I'd love for you to friend me back. I read your LJ, though I don't think I've ever commented. Aaaand I feel like I should say more but can't think of anything. Heh.

[ansku]

Well, there's not much in my journal to read so you are not likely to miss so many things even if you don't friend me. I have only one fic this far and if you are interested in reading it, here's the link . Of course it would be an honour to be deemed worth friending, but I honestly think that my LJ ain't worth it :/ And I don't really need an access to the soundtrack, I don't have any suitable means for listening to it, anyway... as long as I can read your fics, I'm quite happy :)

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

I credit my f-list, honestly. :)

By the way, that includes you. Everyone who's recommended a song is listing the credits as "Assistant song directors." *snerk*

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

I do read *g* and yes, of course. Mmmusic!

[icarusancalion.livejournal.com]

No sweat. See the stampede of people begging for me to friend them? *laughs* I kind of figured a lot of people were just "casual" readers.

Anyone who wants the list who isn't friended, I'll just email the list of links to them at their request.

Friend me or not, I don't mind. I mean, I won't get upset if you're not interested enough in me to use one of those spots. I haven't had much time to check my f-list lately anyway, so if you'd rather not waste a spot for me, that's cool.

'Course I might have to email you for the music anyway. XP

And, because I'm begging people to prompt me, wanna prompt me to commentfic you? HP fandom, since I'm not sure about my skills in any other fandom yet...

[calypso98.livejournal.com]

Hehe. Well, I'd love to be friended, like I said. And that's really generous of you.

Don't worry about friending me. I appreciate that your LJ is busy enough and besides, I'm here for the smut which you don't lock :D

I'd love to see the final list of songs you've picked though.

[daneffew.livejournal.com]

I am not much of poster so please you don't have to friend me.

I friended for you comments and fic.

Thanks

[harveywallbang.livejournal.com]

i'd like to be friended :)

[miladyhawke.livejournal.com]

Hello! It's just by chance that I happened to see this post, as I've been very busy with RL lately and have not been on much lately.

I just wanted to say that it's all good either way whether you want to friend me or not (if you have any LotR interest, I would recommend friending, but otherwise, meh, I'm boring) - I'm here for the fics, but unfortunately I just haven't gotten around to reading them yet! *LoL* As I said, RL and all that. I have every good intention of reading them eventually, though, and I'm great with feedback for things I like.

I just thought I'd delurk and explain why this random person friended you but hasn't commented here yet ;) I know I personally always find it bizarre when somebody does that with me :p

[miladyhawke.livejournal.com]

I'm back already. Actually, if it wouldn't be too much trouble, that soundtrack sounds really cool, so I'd love the link if you wouldn't mind. The addie is juliebgood001@hotmail.com, but don't worry about it if you just got 200 requests :P

[gyutto.livejournal.com]

You don't have to bother friending me, there's nothing in my journal and I'm mostly a casual observer. But it was so nice of you to extend the offer, thanks!

[sarcarmic.livejournal.com]

Hello!
There's no need to friend me. I enjoy your fics and comments and I'm quite content as it is. Thanks for the thought, though :-)

[fourth_rose]

I'm always happy about being friended back, but I totally understand if you don't have the space and/or time... please do what's most convenient for you, I'll keep reading your journal either way :-)

I‘d really love for you to friend me back, because I don‘t only love your stories, but I‘m interested in what you have to say too. I really wish I could write like you - but, alas, we can‘t all be so lucky ;)
