MAAAAAHHH! Semagic ate my homework entry on Blade Runner! Be prepared for srambled eggs babblings later.

Lucky day for House - Mix lovers!

So, I have this theory why last seaons episode titles appeared to be so dull and plain - this theory explains in a way why I think they weren´t.
Season 3 closed with a shot of House playing his new (although probably untuned) acoustic guitar. A symbol for a new beginning that´s taken up in the very beginning of the next season. The first shot of House in season 4 is he playing his snazzy rock guitar - I´m sure there´s a meaning to that.
I think most of the episode titles are also titles of more or less known songs. I´ve collected them in a zip-file for you.
So some might fit not as good as others but with some songs it feels like the writer´s MUST have had them in mind.
So this is kind of a mix and me trying to make a point at the same time. I´ve also linked some of the songs to YouTube videos.

Enjoy!

She told me the screenshots she used were made by bluebear_74 and the "House"-font can be found here. (Which in my opinion would be worth a post on it´s own.)

Phew... what a graft! Now I´m kinda glad that the season had only 16 episodes.

I´d really like to know what you think about it. Do you think it´s way too farfetched?
Either way, I think that the guys who are responsible for songs in the show do a really great and consistent job.
Please Note: I´ve ripped most of the songs off of Youtube but not all.
I´d like to ask you to buy the music if you like it.

ETA: I´ve updated the link now! Sorry for the inconvenience!

Can´t you all (especially my favorite writers [with a looooong s]) stop posting fics for, like, three weeks so I can get through the "not read yet" folder which has over 60 entries now? Thank you! (And by that I mean you are all awesome!)

Also, amplificathon challenge: It was huge fun and it´s going to end soon and although I wanted to record another H2G2 fic for the challenge I won´t hurry and take my time for it. Some participants had the idea to record dozens of drabbles to collect, idk, 80 points for all in all 15 minutes of recording or so. I don´t think it´s fair for a challenge because other people work very hard and long to record stories of half an hour length or more and get the same amount of points like the two minuters (is that even a word?). I hope next time (and I really hope that there will be a next time) they´ll improve the point system with some kind of time intersection or abandon it completely. Other than that? It was simply amazing.

edit:
Seeing that many people were incredibly happy with all the short podfics that popped up I have to admit and agree with them thar those pieces are a great chance for new readers to enter the world of podfics. It´s not necessarily my opinion because my first recording took me over a month and was over an hour long but everyone´s different in how to approach things - So okay, I say bring on the podficlets!

My podfics for the amplificathon challenge are to be found here:

It seems that I´m no good for anything but being entertained. And you know what, Neil Postman? Amusing ourselves to death, my arse! Laughing and a sunny disposition is the only thing that keeps people from jumping off bridges and buildings to end their futile existence. Right, funny but screwed up attitude towards life leads me to...

Haha!
Dilbert stripes are so cool.
I´m working part-time in a college facility I feel this way about. At least I´ve got litereally nothing to do than serving time and surf on the internet.
I need more sophisticated things to laugh about but it´s still about 10 days to the next House epiode.

"Never say Never Again" must be the best Bond movie of all times or the worst... who knows?
Seriously, I watched it yesterday and it rocked so much.
There´s Klaus Maria Brandauer as the villain which I absolutely adored because his smile made him look good enough to eat every time. I really wished he had succeded with his evil evil plan, so I could see him smile just once more. And it means something because Bond was played by the one and only Bond ever, Sean Connery. Oh boy, where are all the appealing baddies gone? The last one I saw was Paul Bettany in Firewall. I liked him because Harrison Ford never had attracted me and couldn´t pull me to the good side and I have a thing for Bettany, too. What?! He´s a cute Brit! So I was biased.
Many people find this Bond film one of the worst ever and come to think of it, it´s really slow-paced, the role of the bad Bond Girl, Fatima Blush was just ridiculous. But the whole movie made me smile a lot. The jokes were just awesome, they used self-referential stereotypes over and over. I mean the Über-villain had a white Persian cat. Funny as fuck! So what other reason do I need to like it? Maybe this one:
It features ridiculously young Rowan Atkinson as nerdy spy aspirant who honestly doesn´t belong in there but again made me grin stupidly.

And speaking of Rowan Atkinson... try not to laugh at ( this. )

First of all, I want to apologize to everyone of you who has been waiting for the sequels of this podfic. The end-passage was really tricky and the incredible starlingthefool, who wrote the story, helped me a lot by shorting and editing the story so it fit around the music.

So, on to the lovely karaoke schmalz:

I am not even in the HP-Fandom but this made me smile a lot!
Okay, I´m the proud owner of ALL the HP-Audiobooks read by Stephen Fry now (Yes, you may envy me.) And am currently listening to CD 6 / (felt)254 but that doesn´t mean, you know, that I read fanfics of it... Whatever.

Stephen particularly annoys me when he´s doing that Hagrid-voice... Gosh! I´m trying to do a podfic here and this guy is just nauseatingly talented when it comes to narrating.

My very first LJ entry! Yay! Although I thought in my first entry I´d be posting my very first fic, I´ve got to share with the few people on my friend list why I am so thrilled at the moment.
Something not totally unexpected happened to me today. I went to the movies and watched a film which left me totally in aww. You´ve probably seen the film "Moulin Rouge". And even if you didnt like the quite slushy plot (which I of course savoured), you might have noticed that it´s basically one big musicvideo with endless music references, lyrics and great vocal achievements of the two leading actors, Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor.
So this evening I saw the film "Across the Universe" which featured over 30 Beatles songs. A loose story of young adults on their search for love and meaning in times of political agitation. And within it there are those wonderful Beatles songs which I know all by heart. Unfortunately this movie is not exactly main stream so we went to a "Filmkunstkino" and had a cinema hall, well..room.. for us alone. This evening was just perfect.
Be prepared to let common narrative structures go and allow yourself to (also literally!) dive into a clever weave of sound. The actors sing very well, the songs are creatively arranged. I´m really enthralled. Also Bono, Salma Hayek and Joe Cocker have cute cameos.
So don´t miss it! Not very elaborated recommendation, but hey, I leave the reviews to those who are way more clever than I am.

I guess there are a lot of "very first"´s in this post and yet it feels good.
