25.Three is a Magic Number: "it takes three legs to make a tripod or to make a table stand"
Notes:
Mostly I prefer that this mix speak for itself. It is sort of an impressionistic rendering of
argentumlupine's podfic, Half of Something Else. I will go into a little more detail about a few of the song choices, though: This Is Not a Test, Will It Go Round in Circles, and Three is a Magic Number, came about as a set; they're linked musically for me and, in order are basically: sometimes you do not succeed, I am making this shit up as I go along, and the obligatory roll credits poly song.
One of my goals going in was not to use any bandom song at all and there are a couple songs whose inclusion I would like to explain:
Lois and Clark/The New Adventures of Superman is about Frank starting work and also my strong disagreement with his stance on Superman - basically: this is kind of a joke (sorry, not sorry) and in this story I am making him play the part of Superman, and also Lois, because she's awesome. The song is also about new adventure and competency, for me, so: justified.
Let's Get It On is just- it's such a cliche and Marvin Gaye's voice is so great and it makes me happy and there's this kind of element of play in a lot of the sex scenes that's really great, so - you're welcome?
argentumlupine gave me a lot of feelings about Grant fucking Morrison and his, like, everything, in their podfic. This is sort of them on mixtape with the story.
Thanks to
argentumlupine,
readbystarlight, and
sobluethesky, who let me pick their brains.
