Okay, I finally decided to get all my thoughts about 2015 RTC (14/02/2015) into a sort of comprehensive, semi chronological list.

. We already had a Tragic Fact recording, but it's nice to have options. Also they REALLY want you to know they'll be damned if they're working at the mall

. I love Sarah Jane Peltzer's voice

. U.R.A.N.I.U.M is nice, but, God it's hard to hear the lyrics

. According to Kholby, Noel canonically would've written "bisexual werewolf stories", and I just think Noel's terrible writing should be focused on more in fanworks

. Noel's Lament is essentially the same, but it was the version where Monique has a kid. I get why they cut it

. Ocean's dad being left-wing and her mum being right-wing makes for a really interesting conflict, and contextualises "Some of us are left-wing, some of us are right wing..."

. The full version of Play To Win is so different to how imagined it. (And pretty ableist, so yikes) Very catchy though. And I love Rielle Braid.

. Tbh I understand why the crowd loved Play To Win so much.

. As an avid Ocean fan, I really enjoy Brooke Maxwell's whole speech about her character.

. I'd love to see a woman play Mischa in an actual production, however...

. No "take a look baby, he's the real ka-ching"?

. No "Shawtyyyyyy"?

. Is this song even awesome?!?!?

. Talia:

. Let me tell you, I was jumping for joy when Small Things Become Big Things started playing. Well, more accurately, I was so happy I could have jumped for joy but I was saving my energy for other matters.

. References aside, STBBT was almost exactly how I expected it to be, although it was slightly short

. "Once I saw a homeless person eat a raccoon" I love Elliot Loran.

. "Okay, I'm totally having a nervous breakdown right now and I'm going to go grab a beer, and you guys should go grab a beer cause it's intermission" I. Love. Elliot. Loran!

. Early Space Age Bachelor Man was somehow even crazier, also, is it bad that I prefer "Their generals are on holiday, Oh Ricky Potts, what should we do?" to the current one?

. "I spent a lot of time staring at other people's skin and wishing it was my skin" I also love Sarah Jane Peltzer.

. The early Ballad was a lot more on the nose than the current one. Special shout-out to the lyrics: "At the end of the day we're just dead" and "It must be nice, To have a body attached to their head"

."AMELODYFLOATSTHROUGHTHEAITWHENSILENCEFALLSDOESNOONECARE"

. As always, Sugar Cloud is brilliant.

. "Isn't that recorder solo the bomb?" Did I mention I love everyone in this cast?

. Three things one guy on the team suggested: Jane gets wings and ascends into the sky. Everyone comes back to life. KARNAK GETS A SONG?!?

. It's Not A Game/ It's Just A Ride really hasn't changed much in 8 years.

. "Kelly, is there anything that doesn't make you cry?"

. La La Love: La la la, lala, la la la. La LALALA?!?

In conclusion, always check SoundCloud.

Starting off this blog with the most recent and probably one of the most important events in rtc fandom history

On August 13th 2023 (yesterday at the time I’m writing this), there was a post with a link to a YouTube video.

The YouTube video was by the creator “allergic” and it contained the full audio of the cut song for Ocean, “Play to Win”. The channel also had The Ballad of Jane Doe and Space Age Bachelor Man from the same audio recording posted.

Some people spoke to allergic as well as did some digging and that lead them to SoundCloud.

The audio recording turned out to be a showcase from 2015 before the American Tour had started where they performed songs from the Canadian version of RTC as well as talked about what the show was like at the time

It was posted on SoundCloud by the old tour bus driver Saul (who HATED the American Tour version of RTC). It had also been on SoundCloud for two months prior to it being found and shared.

The song list includes Tragic Fact, Jane Doe’s Entrance, U.R.A.N.I.U.M., That Fucked Up Girl (Noel’s Lament), Play to Win, This Song is Awesome, Talia, The Ballad of Jane Doe, Small Things Become Big Things, Space Age Bachelor Man, Jawbreaker + Sugar Cloud, It’s Just a Ride (idk if it had a different name at the time), and La-La Love.

Keep in mind, this specific recording had been lost media for 8 years, and the songs themselves had been lost media since 2008 (i believe)
