Big_Pants Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 A few weeks ago Gandalfia and Persnickity came round my house for a day of True Blood viewing and high fat food. Conversation naturally turned to Bitten and the parties. We all agreed that we want the music at the parties to match the themes. I feel conventions lend themselves to total immersion in the show and having so called "con songs" distracts from that somewhat. I can't picture walking into Fangtasia, surrounded by fangbangers and vampires and hearing Saturday Night by Whigfield or Star Trekking *shudder* So we wrote a list of bands that we thought would be essential for Fangtasia to set the scene: Marilyn Manson Nine Inch Nails Depeche Mode Blue Oyster Cult A.F.I Alice In Chains Black Sabbath Deftones Faith No More Interpol Iron Maiden Linkin Park Metallica New Order Sisters of Mercy The Cult The Cure Placebo Rage Against The Machine The Rolling Stones Smashing Pumpkins For Rene and Arlenes engagement party we really want some bluegrass stuff and frankly I haven't a clue about the Decendants of the Glorious Dead party lol. So what do you guys think? Feel free to add some suggestions, lets make these the best parties we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanggirl Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Don't forget Jace Everrett!!! I'd be more than happy with rock/alternative/country :) Maybe for the decendents party we should only be allowed music performed by dead artists: elvis, michael Jackson, john Lennon etc...

BuffyFreak09 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 yeah i like the dead artists idea thats good. and i think like proper country songs for rene and arlene that would be hilarious! and dont forget Evanescence or Within Temptation in the rock/alternative stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicAvatar Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I can't pretend that I've heard songs from all of those bands (although I know and love several of them), but based on what I know of them, that sounds like a great playlist for the Saturday. One thing I liked about Eclipse... er, one of the Eclipses (I think it was 3 but alcohol and senility have blurred the memories ) is that the DJ played something for everyone. OK, as they were Heroes conventions and not particularly linked to a specific genre of music a fair amount of con cheese did feature, but he played some hard rock and metal too, which was a nice surprise. So, I wouldn't want to deny those who prefer the lighter stuff a bit of mainstream at some point. (Although not too cheesy: Saturday Night by Whigfield should be taken out back and shot and Star Trekking is a bit... manic.) Going back to the playlist: given that the Heaven 17 version of Don't Fear The Reaper was playing when Bill first took Sookie to Fangtasia, I think that should be on there too. I know it's technically heresy to pick that over the BOC version, but it is quite danceable. I actually downloaded it on the strength of that episode! Some other names which spring to mind, given what's already on there: Siouxie and the Banshees Evanescence Disturbed Breaking Benjamin Rammstein I can see Jace Everett's Bad Things going down well at the engagement party. [nod] Maybe some Dixie Chicks? Sunday night's party is likely to be fairly quiet, given that a lot of people go home on the Sunday in my experience, so non-genre-specific music would probably be OK. Or, you know, classical. It's genteel, y'know. Maybe for the decendents party we should only be allowed music performed by dead artists: elvis, michael Jackson, john Lennon etc... Or that.

CosmicAvatar Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) Cotton Eye Joe at least has pretensions towards country music, but Steps? No-o-o-o-o-o-o! (Although, ahem, I quite like Tragedy, but not for this convention!) Edited July 24, 2010 by CosmicAvatar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although, ahem, I quite like Tragedy, but not for this convention!) I used to do linedancing for over 18 years and one of the first dances they taught me was 5,6,7,8 lol Linedancing was a great excersie and a laugh riot when everyone goes in different directions! - Just in case someone thinks I'm sad, I'm not - It was fun - they even did Gypsy from that "Irish Dancing - with The Feet of Flames bloke" album - which I really liked.

BuffyFreak09 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 i just like 5,6,7,8 cause its fast and sounds pretty country and they do the dance in cowboy hats we dont have to have it... i just thought it would be funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
