ATTF: Music and Musicals  
Hello, oh denizens of This Bar.

Please forgive the lateness of this post- I could give you many excuses, but the truth is that I forgot yesterday was Friday. My life is the most difficult of them all.


MOVING ON.

Today I want to talk to you about music and our spies.

What kind of music do you think they like, if they like any at all? Does Clint listen to Panic! At the Disco! when he works out? Does Natasha like to make love to Mahler?

And while we're at it, what about when you're creating? What kind of music gets you in the spysassin mood? Do you have a C/N anthem? Are there any fics that you like that use music in them, or inspire you to listen to a specific song?

Under the cut: Music! To listen to!

These are some of my favorite Clint/Natasha songs - ones that get me in a mental place to write about our spies.


Hit the Lights - Bodybag


Suzanne Vega - Marlene on the Wall


All Time Low - Coffee Shop Soundtrack


Damien Rice - Cannonball


Stars - The Night Starts Here


Erin McCarley - Love Save The Empty

So. What are yours?



Things to remember:
1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and warnings (or you can say that you’ve chosen not to use warnings).
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.
4) Have a damn good time! (Because if that’s not happening then this post has clearly failed.)

I'm going to be honest rihgt off the bat. I have never felt compelled to try Springsteen because to me he always seemed so... American. And that's never appealed to me. Though I'm sure he is many, many things other than that, that is was I always think and I've not got over/past that. But if I ever fancy trying him, I will start here and then go to you for pointers. :)

Can you pul-eeze listen to "Brilliant Disguise" though? Just listen to it like 10 times in a row. You will be sold. I promise!

Also, Clint is sooooo American to me, he is more American than Steve haha. And maybe that's b/c its so sexily contrasted to Natasha's exotic Russian/worldiness.

Yeah I get that Clint is American, and in many ways even more American than Steve but... I dunno.

I shall give it a go though. Right now, for you. :P

hehehe. I feel like we are all Clints and you are Natasha and we are bugging you to listen to our music.

I WILL HAPPILY BE NATASHA. And you will bow to my awesome (and Thighs of Death). :P

YES. BRILLIANT DISGUISE. I SECOND THIS.
[identity profile] anuna-81.livejournal.com on May 25th, 2013 10:57 pm (UTC)
Fair! But if there's a musician who can honestly do self-criticism (I mean just look at what Born in the USA is like...); it's Springsteen. If you think of him as a symbol of USA (I don't know where you're from) I find he's not a person who'd glorify his country and be blind about flaws.

He writes amazing love songs. He's a great analyst of human unhappiness and causes for it. And he's just amazing musician, so yes, if you ever need pointers... :D
franztastisch: spn[personal profile] franztastisch on May 25th, 2013 11:01 pm (UTC)
No I don't think he represents America or anything, and I am well aware that he doesn't shy away from being critical, He's just... very American to me. And it's never appealed. (I'm from the UK, and the US has never had much appeal to me in my formative years, so most of my pro-US feelings are also post-Obama i.e. pretty damn recent).

You will be my first point of call for pointers, promise. :)

Also I feel this ATTF has become "get Franz into Springsteen". I think I'm the only one here who doesn't have a working knowledge of him. :P

Goooootcha. And we're talking about dude who sang for Obama during his campaign.

Yes! It seems so. Because we're trying to get you to listen to damn good music.
franztastisch: winchester[personal profile] franztastisch on May 25th, 2013 11:13 pm (UTC)
I already listen to damn good music. :P Haha. But I'm listening to Brilliant Disguise now.
[identity profile] anuna-81.livejournal.com on May 25th, 2013 11:16 pm (UTC)
Nobody said you aren't listening to Damn Good Music. :P Actually we said the opposite! :D
franztastisch: winchester[personal profile] franztastisch on May 25th, 2013 11:23 pm (UTC)
Haha point. I quite like Brilliant Disguise. And it's exactly what I picture Clint listening to. Hot and disenfranchised and covered in dust.
[identity profile] anuna-81.livejournal.com on May 25th, 2013 11:28 pm (UTC)
--- sorry did you say covered in dust? *GGG*

I LOOOVE that song. Like I said to [livejournal.com profile] happilydancing it's my Clint and Bobbi song. (Try also "Jersey Girl" sometime. When you feel like it. I adore it.)

Get you mind out of the gutter, hot sauce. :P
