Via independence1776, I found out that 3weeks4dreamwidth a) happened and b) is over. Challenges were involved? The last one was

Put a song for every letter in your url!
Hard mode: Challenge yourself and make it a fan-mix or themed playlist!

and I decided I had to try, especially when I realized I do in fact have a song for X (in the pinyin transcription, at least)! The theme here is songs that are new(ish) to me/songs I have on my phone where I don't already know the lyrics by heart just looking at the title.

E – Elegy, Illumishade
X – Xiaoshu 小暑, 音阙诗听
T – The Bottomless Pit, Lost in Grey
R – Revelation's Time, Shaylon
A – All I Am, End of the Dream
P – Pitfalls, Madder Mortem
E – Eve, Oryad
N – Never Again, Ewiniar
G – Ghost Shadow Requiem, Everdawn
U – Underdog, Never Obey Again
I – Into the Grey, Empress
N – Native Colossus, Shield of Wings

Then I decided I wanted to do the same for my journal's current tagline: If you're great at leaping – bite the sun! This is a very cheerful line, so I tried to make a cheerful-ish, or at least upbeat, mix as well. This was much, much easier for some letters than others, lol.

I – I am the Storm, Ad Infinitum
F – Frozen Throne, Kalidia

Y – You Will Breathe Again, Chaos Magic
O – Out in the Real World, Stream of Passion
U – Unlimited Sin, Beast in Black
R – Razorblade, Amaranthe
E – Enigma, Moonlight Haze

G – Ghosts, Xandria
R – Reincarnation, Beyond the Black
E – Embers, Induction
A – Automatic, Amaranthe
T – The Hero, Battle Beast

A – Architect of Paradise, Ad Infinitum
T – Till the End, Moonlight Haze

L – Left on Mars, Marko Hietala
E – Electroheart, Amaranthe
A – Astro Girl, Shaylon
P – Pills on My Pillow, The Dark Element
I – Is there Anybody Out There?, Beyond the Black
N – No Surrender, Beast in Black
G – Go Beyond, Kalidia

B – Burn Me, Xandria
I – I.S.S. (Is Somebody Singing), Chris Hadfield & Barenaked Ladies & the Wexford Gleeks

H – Hunting High and Low, Stratovarius
E – Ecstasy, Amaranthe

S – Songs the Night Sings, The Dark Element
U – Until It Rains Again, Surma
N – Niin tuleni teen, Indica

Anyway, I think I should just spend the summer making vids and fanmixes and not even trying to write, lol. Mayhaps I'll decide the subjects based on whether or not I have an applicable icon for the post, perhaps not.
