letting my ipad charge and doing schoolwork like a good little student but NOW that there’s a seven playlist im listening to it and my brain won’t stop shuffling facial features for them mmaahh i need to focus
My writing is directly inspired by music I listen to, and since Infamous is heavily music centered, it only makes sense to share Chapter playlists. They’re basically a combination of songs that would serve as background soundtracks + songs the cast are actually listening to. Sometimes I imagine a song is playing and the characters don't notice, but it's canon that it's there haha
I can’t read without music, and I make the effort to listen to music as they would be described in a story to immerse myself. I made this playlist for myself but moved it to my Infamous account to share it because why not?
So if you’re like me and like to immerse yourself fully, here it is!
prologue + chap. 1 playlist
Below I’ll list the songs and what scenes they correspond to and how (mild spoilers ahead)
Live and Let Live by Of Mice and Men: similar to the song playing as MC navigates their way to the bathroom.
Paranoid by Black Sabbath: the song playing when MC and Co first arrive to the party.
Hotblack by Oceanship: the song I would imagine would be playing during The Talk with Seven (this is a very seven song for me)
Howlin' for You by The Black Keys: hookup scene with Dakota
Lights and Sounds by Yellowcard or Fell in Love With a Girl by The White Stripes: song playing over the speakers during the fight lol
Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley: song playing at the diner with Sebastian and Maya (cries)
Gilded Lily by Cults: car (ending) scene of the prologue after leaving the party
Lovers Rock by TV Girl or Heads Will Roll by Yeah Yeah Yeahs: song playing when dancing with Dakota
Rosemary by Deftones: the song Seven is listening to in their headphones by the bus
May the fourth is here, the mothership connection has landed, you're invited to the party at the end of the universe, and there hasn't been an intergalactic space jam like this since Hotblack Desiato & Disaster Area last performed! (Yes, that was a Hitchhikers Guide reference - be schooled in the Guide, yeah?)
Never one to let a good advertising trope pass us by, the usual Friday night party got shifted to a Saturday for May, essentially so we could cash in on May The Fourth and it also allowed me to shoehorn some sci-fi funk, cosmic disco, TV themes, tenuous references & samples, plus some interplanetary breaks that are so heavy, they have their own gravitational pull!
It's not all sci-fi though, there's the usual (space)array of funk & soul, hip-hop & house, and jazz & beats to get you up and dancing.
And we definitely had a few people rocking out like the disco scene from Buck Rogers.... yeah, you know the one!
random frequent flyer dent is my favorite hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy character i brought her up because you mentioned hitchhiker's guide in your essay and i got excited :(
Omg im sorry :( i read hitchhikers guide when i was 12 and now im 25 so i dont remember her :( i only reread the hotblack desiato sections for this paper
in the hitchhiker's guide universe Tumblr is the only platform where you can say Belgium without having to censor it, like cunt, and people get annoyed that those on tiktok self censoring say 'belle gum'. Hotblack Desiato posts a selfie to his story and all his stans repost it with a black and white filter and the caption 'R.I.P💔💔💔'
🎶✨️when u get this put 5 songs u actually listen to, publish. Then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)🎶✨️
Neat! I'm going to throw out Hotblack by Oceanship first, cause I always do when I get a chance to rec songs
Couldn’t listen all the way through | Not my thing | It’s okay | Kinda catchy | OK I really like this | Downloading immediately | Already in my library
Been a while since I did one of these, but I figured I’d finish up my song recs:)
I like this song, it’s just not quite my style, but if it came on the radio, I wouldn’t change the station.
