here comes the new boss, same as the old boss

Erasures! They're cool, no? zempasuchil has brought up the idea of a multifandom fanfic erase-a-thon. I think: AWESOME. As for you,

[Poll #1426879]
I just watched Ocean's Thirteen, and someone has totally written fic about the Molloy brothers' exploits (lol see what I did there) in Mexico, right? RIGHT??! In other news, it appears someone is writing Merlin/Will Big Bang fic omfg jskfjd;kajlfsfds OMFG JFLDJSKLFDJ SFD AAAAAAAHH \o/!!

IN OTHER NEWS. Today Indonesia went to the polls to vote for the next president \o/. Looks like it's gonna be five more years of Yudhoyono. This is... actually the first time I've ever voted. SO, to celebrate I was going to upload bunch of Indonesian music, but my connection is kind of shit. Have some links to

If you like Portishead and the triphop sound in general, you might like Tika's "Fever Fairytale". The video is part beautiful, part creepy.

"Jakarta City Blues" by Indra Aziz is a cappella jazz. I think Aziz multitracked himself doing all the parts? There's a 30-second cigarette ad before the actual video, because cigarettes sponsor everything cool in Indonesia. There was also that time cigarettes sponsored a badminton scholarship, which is also cool, but mostly facepalmingly amusing.

ADORABLE "Dance Will Drop" by Overload Romance IS ADORABLE. It's all, "Dancing with your lover / dancing with your mother / dancing / until we drop." OH DANCING EVERYWHERE. OH HAPPYMAKING. Also: surprise cameo! hflksjfldk <3333

"Boleh Boleh" by Karon 'n Roll sort of reminds me of "Wooly Bully". Retro and cute. You'd totally twist to this song.

"Rocket Ship Goes By" by Goodnight Electric is maybe Postal Service if it tried to do everything on a Casio keyboard from the 80s. It's got the new wave touch, the soaring synths, and the video is trippy as hell.

"Aku Cinta J.A.K.A.R.T.A." by C'Mon Lennon is a delightful shout-along (and clap-along!) for Jakarta-lovers everywhere, I suppose to balance out the Jakarta city blues.

"Mereka Sebut Timur" by Lipgloss reminds me of The Academy Is..., all energetic and heartfelt.

"Mighty Love" by Zeke & the Popo. Infectious chorus and a nifty vid!

ETA: Best ever picture of Morgana or best ever picture of Morgana? Also, this video. God, I love her dorky glasses.

I saw that concert come up in my near-daily concert mailings and I was like ...maybe? But no. Most of the bands I like are much cheaper than that/ I don't like Placebo enough to pay more for them than DeVotchKa or the Avett Bros.

...It could be fun, though. WE COULD BOTH GO.

ALSO. I'm snagging all of your music except the a cappella because two years of college have cemented my UNDYING HATRED for all a cappella. Did you know that Brown has a pirate a cappella group? YEAH, I THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY TOO, UNTIL THEY STARTED DRUNKENLY SINGING SEA SHANTIES UNDER MY WINDOW AT 2 IN THE MORNING WHEN I HAD AN EARLY CLASS.

Not so interested in erasures, since I write roughly two short fics a year. BUT HAVE YOU SEEN GOTH!KATIE YET?



BRB renting that godawful movie.

I APPROVE OF THIS IDEA.

... I think we might have, like, eight people already interested in it. Isn't that awesome? *bounces happily*

I am going to be sad when I discover an erase-a-thon does not involve removing all traces of particularly horrific fic from the universe. (Zap! Pow! Zapzapzap! Destroyed!)

Also I suspect all pictures of Morgana of being the best ever pictures of Morgana. THERE CAN BE NO HIERARCHY. ALL MORGANAS ARE EQUAL. THEY MIX THEIR DIFFERENT KINDS OF FLOUR TOGETHER IN THEIR BREAD or maybe actually the French Revolution is not the sort of thing one should talk about around a member of any kind of nobility, maybe it's not tactful.
