The Witching Hour, H/D music, and all that jazz

[mijan]

Hello, my lovies!  I need your help!  In fact, the H/D shippers who are to attend the H/D Room of Requirement at the Witching Hour need your help!  Here's the deal... we need a soundtrack.  I'm assembling a playlist of between 40 and 50 songs which will be played during the three-hour Room of Requirement time.  So I need to know... what songs would you want?  Here are the sorts of songs I'm looking for...

~ Rock, Alternative Rock, popular songs, or any style that is generally not offensive to the ears of 18 through 30 year olds, although we WILL have some people older than that, but I'm sure they'll be quite young at heart.
~ Songs with lyrics that make you REALLY think of H/D - the ship, the dynamic between the boys, canon, or fanon.
~ Songs that remind you specifically of a popular H/D fic such that most people would "feel" the H/D reference. (If you have a fic-related song, PLEASE LIST THE FIC.)

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LIST THE SONGS IN THIS FORMAT:  Song Title, artist name, (Related Fic)

I'll let you know right off the bat... I personally hate R&B, rap, and country music.  I'm sorry to say, but if you list songs in any of those styles, I don't care how "utterly perfect" you think it is... I won't use it.  I hope that doesn't offend anyone, but I'm just stating the facts.  I'm going to be spending time getting this playlist just right, and I don't want to spend the time listening to music that makes me gag.

Please list as many songs as you wish, but I'm only going to select songs for the actual CD's that really feel like they fit together, and will create the mood for the room that I want.  I want more general H/D-related songs than fic-related songs.  And please, if someone else has listed a song that you also want to list, list it again, so that I can see which songs are most popular.  I need to have this playlist ready soon.  And remember, this isn't for me... this is for all the H/D shippers who are going to be at the Witching Hour.  It's your chance to contribute in a really quick and easy way.  Thank you in advance!

There are about a billion H/D playlists in the memory section of fanmix. Might give you some ideas.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Oh, these are awesome! I don't need them uploaded here yet, but I'll let you know. THANK YOU! And if you think of any more, post! :D *hugs*

For some reason Everything You Want by Vertical Horizon reminds me of H/D every time. o_o;;

I need to read more H/D. D:

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Yes, that one is on my own personal H/D playlist. :D

[aerynalexander.livejournal.com]

I don't know but when I think Draco/Harry fluffiness I think Anya Marina's song Clean and Sober...maybe it's just me but it keeps popping in my head.
Also, Hilary Duff-Come Clean, seems so pretty and dramatic. Mybe perhaps Damien Rice-Cannonball? OR Kelly Clarkson- Beautiful Disaster! That's a good song.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Wah! Thank you thank you thank you! (Specifically for using the format I requested.) *falls over*

[capricioussylph.livejournal.com]

Hey! While I'm thinking about it, could you print out a huge master list of all the music you get (not just what you will put on the disks)? Then we can put that by the CD player with another sheet of paper for people to write any other songs they think of while they are there. I'd also like to be able to post that list and maybe zips of the CDs to the group after the con. So any chance you could bring a set for me? I have songs to add to the list but no time to type them up at the moment. Maybe after work tonight. I'm going to make a quick post to the group now and link them here.

9 DAYS AND I'LL BE ON A PLANE TO BOSTON!! SQUEE!!

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'd planned on e-mailing you a copy of the final total list AND the playlist itself once I compile it! No worries!

Oh, and when you post to the group, PLEASE tell them to use the ^@#$%!!! format. It's driving me insane, rearranging everything because everyone is using a different freaking format.

And SQUEEEEE!!!! 9 DAYS!

[wickedsix.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'm just being obnoxious because I got almost no sleep last night, I have a migraine, and I've gotta drive to Boston in a few minutes... but would it really have been so hard to follow the format I gave? *headdesk*

Sorry, that was rude of me... thanks for the songs.
