Beautiful mix though! :snags:

Yeah, sorry about that. She hasn't posted yet (I needed to make this post to give her the link so she could), but I will update the post with the link when she does :)

Thank you though! I hope you enjoy the mix :D

i had just about given up hope on finding a mix with bands that i actually know, because i live under a bit of a rock.

you have renewed my purpose in life! excellent, excellent...

*goes off to read story*

[arithilim.livejournal.com]

:D I totally get what you mean. So many mixes, I look at the artists and go 'whu?' Still can be a fun way to find new good indie bands, haha.

Happy to help! I'm totally adding that to my list of accomplishments, lol.

Hope you enjoyed the fic and the mix :)

[el-gilliath.livejournal.com]

Such a pretty mix. snagging :D

[arithilim.livejournal.com]

Eee, thanks! Hope you enjoy :)

[denija.livejournal.com]

Thanks! ♥

[arithilim.livejournal.com]

:D Welcome, of course.

Loved the story and know some of the bands so obviously I'm downloading the fanmix at the moment. Can you explain why it's called 'Failboats in love'? It's a too hard nut to crack for me. XD

[arithilim.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed and hope you like the mix just as much :)

'Failboats in Love' -> well, pretty much I got sucked into bandom lately and a common term used to describe certain members of panic! at the disco are often described as 'failboats' (*cough* Brendon and Spencer and sometimes Ryan). Basically, a failboat is pretty much someone who fails a lot at life (or in this case, relationships). It usually has to do with the person being oblivious, or a bit retarded about the person they like. Um, I think the original term comes from macros like this one. Anyways, yes, so it's pretty common in bandom land, and when I read the fic draft the first time, that's all I could think about, how Merlin and Arthur just fail so so hard when it comes to each other, lol. So thus, Failboats in Love.

(sorry if that was long and rambly :p)

Wonderful mix! Thank you! <3

[arithilim.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed :D

[openmoments.livejournal.com]

Looks wonderful and can't wait to read the story with it. =D

Snagging asap!

[arithilim.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I hope you enjoy both!

[shiny-starlight.livejournal.com]

How much do I love the fact that a good portion of this mix is Cobra, FAI and FOB? A LOT! Dling the link. Thanks

[arithilim.livejournal.com]

*cough* Yes, um, about that...I may have become slightly obsessed with Decaydance bands recently. *looks innocent*

I'm glad you approve! I hope you enjoy it, and thanks for commenting ♥

(and yeah, I definitely did have to use this icon, haha)

[shiny-starlight.livejournal.com]

*sings*

Fangs up, Conra Staaaaaaaar....

I ADORE them, and have seen them so many times in concert. TAI and FOB too. MCR kick ass too.


I need more fandom icons.

Thanks again for the mix!

[arithilim.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, I was so bummed cause I didn't get to see Cobra last Friday when they came, seriously, 20 minutes away from. It was soooo sad! Especially since Travie McCoy was touring with them and he's from my area, so it was really cool. YOU LUCKY CONCERT GOER YOU!

And TAI - confession, I may have been staring at pics of Bill Beckett earlier today. And reading Gabe/William. And watching the TAI playlist on FBR's youtube channel...yeah, I have a problem okay, but the first step is admitting it! FOB and MCR I won't even get into because there will be flaily hands and bouncing.

Also, hi Gerard! Your icon makes me want to wave back.

I need more too, for bandom especially. I keep saying I'll make some, and then get distracted, haha.

Btw, hi, I'm Kate, and you've unwittingly stumbled across one of my most favorite things in the world to talk about (music), and I apologise for the ramble.

[shiny-starlight.livejournal.com]

Lol. Hi! I'm Julie and am in love with Gabe Saoporta. Cos he is awesome. A little crazy, but awesome. Fingers crossed next time you'll be able to say them. They are SO awesome live.

A few years ago, I went to the Decaydance festival in London, and the line up was Cobra, TAI, Panic, Gym Class Heroes AND FOB. Trick came on stage to sing the parts in Cupid Chokehold, and I may have died.

A lot.

I admit I'm not in fandom as much as I was, but I still like to keep an eye on the guys and thier projects. I'm going to see The Dammed Things in London in June, so I'm really looking forward to that!!

Also, Gee is so adorable, you need to wave back.

*uses icon again*

Doooo ittttttt.

[arithilim.livejournal.com]

*waves at Gee and you* (god, he is so adorable, who can resist???)

Ahhh, Gabe. It's kind of ridiculous how much I love him, and his purple hoodie. I really, really do.

Definitely, fingers crossed. I'm really hoping to make it to Warped this July too :)

And I am so jealous, seriously. A Decaydance festival sounds like pretty much the most amazing thing ever - so many good bands!! And AHHHH. SO AMAZING. TRICKKK.

Haha,yeah, I kind of just got into it through a Merlin friend and now I'm so hooked it's ridiculous. They're so pretty and awesome, and just hilarious. *flails*

FINE YOU KNOW WHAT I'M PULLING OUT MY ICON AGAIN TOO AND THERE BETTER BE SOME HAND GESTURES AT YOUR COMPUTER. (:p)

You know, you're really kind of awesome. Bands, and Merlin and stuff :D Friends? Or is it too soon, haha?

[shiny-starlight.livejournal.com]

FANGS UP DUDE!!!

Man, I would be SO jealous if you got to Warped. You better take pictures.

Also, TOTALLY friends. Anyone who names thier lj with lyrics of a Cobra song is a ok in my book :D Plus, Merlin and Music. What else is there in life?

[arithilim.livejournal.com]

No worries, if I go to Warped, I will take so many pictures I'll need another memory card!!! Chances are pretty high, since tickets are only like $40 and I should be working by then XD

YAY. ♥♥ Also, haha, I totally forgot that was my journal title. Yeaaahhhh. And psht, nothing, clearly. I mean, there is Photoshop, but that's just an enabler for Merlin and Music. *nods*

Oh, I can tell that we are gonna get on so well :D

Yay, snagging. Thank you!
