itsbacon! Don't click on the cut or comments! Or else! :) )
I love RP for many reasons, however there's a unique good thing in my current RP: The character I play has a thing for music, and various other characters are teaching him songs to sing. RL songs are being used, though generally they're not popular stuff you'd hear on most radio stations. I'm learning so many good new songs!
I heard a story about this group a year or so ago on NPR. I have no idea why I didn't follow it up then...
The Shankill Butchers by The Decemberists!
I love how slow it is, love the guy's voice, love how simple the music is! I'm not sure if I'm in love with the lyrics for the lyrics or for how amazingly well they fit IC.
They used to be just like me and you,
They used to be sweet little boys.
But something went horribly askew,
Now killing is their only source of joy.
Tell me that doesn't perfectly fit death knights! Really, all the lyrics fit DKs so perfectly well... (To see them all, go to the youtube page and right below the video click on the little arrow down thingie to expand the comment to full, they're all in there.)
I can't stop listening to it! Over and over! Though he likely will never see this, much <3 to Franzis for using this song!
Edit: Google is damned scary. I decided to check and see if Franzis maybe had a LJ, so I googled "Franzis RP" to see what would come up (I always start more general first, to see what interesting other things might be out there). This post came up as result #4. Less than 30 seconds after I posted it. Google is stalking me!
