What's on your cyborg's iPod?

Just as the subject stated, what's rotating on the shuffle list of your OC's MP3 player of choice. Try to keep the limit to 10, that way if people want to browse youtube for other people's lists it's a bit easier.

Laine is listening to:
The Great Escape - Boys Like Girls
Electropop - Jupiter Rising
Getting Away With Murder - Papa Roach
Mad - Ne-Yo
Beat It (Cover) - Fall Out Boy
End of the Moonlight - DJMAX
Numb/Encore - Linkin Park feat. Jay Z
Face Down - Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Fly Me to the Moon - Frank Sinatra
What You Got feat. Akon - Colby O'Donis

There is no pattern in those songs whatsoever, lol.

Well Kara still has to wait about a year for her iPhone, but she does have a 4GB Nano. She'd have a shedload of playlists with J-pop, Touhou, Anime, Jazz, Electronic, House, Dance, etc.

Not sure what Daniella would have on her Ipod, but my non-cyborg O.C., David Wilson would probably listen to various heavy metal bands. I was planning on having him run down enemy forces in a tank (with a lot of help from his new cyborg friend) in my now-dormant fic while listening to this:


A short first draft of the scene mentioned above:

Daniella looked down the sight of the 120mm main gun of the Ariete main battle tank. "Parked IVECO Dardo Infantry Fighting Vehicle, Padanian-mutineer markings, hasn't spotted us yet". David just barely heard Daniella say over the sound of his Ipod, blaring "Panzer Battalion" by the Swedish power metal band Sabaton. Daniella sighted in the target as she pulled one of the earbuds from David's Ipod. "Wanna take the shot? Just pull the trigger, i've got it sighted in.", Dani asked. "Sounds fun!", David exclaimed. David placed his hand over the trigger as he looked down the sight. The Ipod earbud still in his left ear blared:

"Armored tanks of mass destruction
Killers in the east.
Rats who dare to stand before us
Feel our guns go..."

David squeezed the trigger. A deafening roar drowned out even the sound of his the song as the gun fired. Through the scope of the main gun, David saw the enemy IFV explode in a ball of flames.

Well, seeing as Monty seems to live in a sort of semi-permanent timewarp, we'll start with the obvious:

There's a little Jeff Beck
And some Beatles (everybody's got something to hide, 'cept for me and my... handler? )
With the Small Faces to keep the company
Taking it down a notch are the Seekers.
They make good cruising music along with Creedence Clearwater Revival and Santana (for the hot times... somehow you can just tell that's Woodstock, look for the naked bloke holding a goat).
Speaking of hot weather it wouldn't be Monty without a Bond reference

From the modern era come Air (which would also be good cruising music... if it didn't make you want to just chillax and forget whatever important thing it was you were supposed to be doing... like driving), Chris Joss (sort of modern, I swear he still lives in the same timewarp as Monty) and some Dimitri From Paris

There is of course a whole lot more, but you get the gist... long road journies are long and anyone who says "all I need is the sound of the engine" has obviously never been stuck on the same highway for ten hours solid.


I guess she could probably use some action music too... so I'll leave you with this. Can't find a youtube link of that, so you'll just have to watch the vid (which is kinda worth it anyway) ;P

It might not be very refined and ladylike - more insane, bouncing hyperactive kid than measured carriage and dignified comportment - but Agapita has an affection for the bubblegum dance (maybe it's some of Mimi's free-spirited nature that the conditioning and mind-wipe didn't entirely smother) of Jenny Rom - who's Italian, even if she sings in English.

Avise finds it vaguely unseemly (and he feels a bit irked that his cyborg likes to dance to the sugar-rush beat, but seems to hate exertion in all other areas, particularly his PT sessions) but ultimately shrugs his shoulders and says "Well, if it's what the young'uns like nowadays..."

Trouble is, she's set The Game of Love as her mobile ringtone, which makes it a pain for anyone trying to summon her from the dormitories because she tends to spend half a minute bopping along to the music before actually deigning to answer (and it's driving her room-mate to distraction).

Britney has always gravitated to California Indie rock.

And if she ever found out I said this she’d kill me… but she’s also a closet Fleetwood Mac fan.

Britney doesn't strike me as one who would either break The Chain or stop thinking about tomorrow.

Kara likes Fleetwood Mac when the weather is nice and the convertible top on the Gallardo is down.

The music player idea is a device/joke I've written into an upcoming story. Elio gives Marisa an mp3 player so she can be more educated on modern music, "What the kids are listening to these days" so to speak.
Hillshire confiscates it (she's listening to it in his language class) and points out to Elio that it's full of American Delta Blues and British guitar rock from the '70's. Instead of studying what other kids listen to, Marisa is just emulating what her handler likes.

Speaking as someone who grew up on stuff like The Who: I fail to see an issue.

Guess we'd just have to put it down to Hilshire's Teutonic mores.

Marisa could have been grooving to German opera and the result would have been the same...you do not listen to your mp3 player in Mr. Hillshire's class!
As for Elio's choice in music...I just chose what I dig. Elio was hoping his cyborg would get familiar with modern teenager music, but he doesn't check up on what she's really doing, and is thusly embarassed when Hillshire returns the device to him.

From the look of it she needs to spend some time hanging out with Agapitha...

Apple? I thought with the exception of Kara and Michele, the SWA folks used Creative products almost exclusively:

Britney: So I hear you’re a Fleetwood Mac fan?

Kara: Definitely. As a matter of fact, they were the entertainment at my last birthday party.

Britney: That’s a coincidence, I had Lindsey Buckingham at mine.

Kara: What, you couldn’t get the whole group?

Britney: (with evil grin) Lindsey was all a wanted.

Kara: Say no more.

Kara: "Waiter? Check please!"

Kara: And by the way, it’s your turn to pony up the tip.

We should so do a series of fanfics like this, where two of our OCs go out to dinner/on a date/something else like that.

Why would a Gunslinger Girl have an iPod when this would be more to her liking!

I finally took a look at that youtube link and I think it gave me a brain tumor.
I'm no expert at such things, but in order to dance to a song like that you'd need to be some kind of high speed super-human cyborg or something...oh, wait, now it makes sense.

Kara is also fond of Japanese "bubblegum pop" and often performs this song at karaoke:
