CD swap community

[doyle]

The Summer After notebook project got me thinking about a community for swapping compilation CDs made by Buffy fans - I love making themed soundtracks, and it's great hearing songs and artists that are new to me. Dumb idea?

Maybe even a community for "this song reminds me of ship/character/episode, here's a link to the lyrics".

I don't think it's a dumb idea, but I think it might turn into a runaway train. People will take just about any damn song and slap some BtVS symbolism on it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Me, I'll just stick with all the slashy early Depeche Mode, like "Master and Servant" and "Behind the Wheel". Spike/Angel, all the way.

That's the fun part, though. I'd never have thought of Jackson Brown's The Pretender as being a Wesley song till I saw a kick-ass music vid that made me go "hey, yeah..."

I recognise that people are going to nominate just about any love song for their 'ship, but hey, I get to hear new music, so it's all good.

As long as you enjoy it, I won't knock it. :D
