It turns out that between moving computers and getting rid of many of my physical CDs, I have managed to lose a couple of tracks. The things I'm missing are <i>Berceuse Pour Un Lion</i> by Daniel Lavoie and <i>Gracias a la Vida</i> by Mercedes Sosa. (I would cheerfully buy them, but Australian iTunes doesn't have them and I don't speak either French or Spanish well enough to go looking for them somewhere they might actually be.)<br /><br />I ask because I am <i>finally</i> getting around to putting it up on 8tracks and the AO3 along with the <a href="http://archiveofourown.org/works?utf8=%E2%9C%93&work_search[sort_column]=revised_at&work_search[other_tag_names]=Fanmix&work_search[query]=&work_search[language_id]=&work_search[complete]=0&commit=Sort+and+Filter&user_id=Andraste">rest of my fandom soundtracks</a>.<br /><br />Of course, since it has been almost exactly ten years since I first posted it, I decided that I had to do a Special 10th Anniversary Edition. And since I am no longer trying to jam things onto actual CDs (was that really only a decade ago?) I decided I could make it longer! And now it is sixty-five tracks. (It was going to be sixty, but then I had to sneak an extra song into Season Four, and then it looked unbalanced so I tossed in a few more to even it out.) Naturally I'm going to be dividing it up into five when I post it to 8tracks, or nobody will ever get past the John Cage track in Season One.<br /><br />I quail at the idea of expanding the notes - they're already so long that they broke livejournal when I first posted them. It's nice to finally have songs for all the people and things I left out the first time, though, like Na'Toth and the Mars Resistance.<br /><br />It also gave me an excuse to watch <i>Parliament of Dreams</i> again and relive the moment when I fell in love with G'Kar. (He was singing to his dinner. I couldn't help it.) Also Londo becoming one with his inner self, and Na'Toth's introduction, and the parade of faiths, and all the other things I love about that episode. ('You will know pain.' 'You will know fear.' 'And then you will die. Enjoy your flight!')<br /><br />I am not rewatching any of the Season Five telepath arc just to make notes on Byron, though. Finding him a song was bad enough. (I already had one for Lorien, whom I hate far more, but it got cut for space on the original version.)<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=andraste&ditemid=536363" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-01:143514:448837Seeking Noel Coward ...2010-07-08T01:04:54Z2023-03-07T07:59:09Zpublic0Does anybody have a recording of Noel Coward's <i>I Went To A Marvellous Party</i> handy? Preferably by the man himself.<br /><br />YouTube has failed me and only has the techno remix version, which is neat in its own way but not what I'm looking for.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=andraste&ditemid=448837" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
