And the Lord says, let there be LOVE!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I know this is not everyone's favorite holiday, but nonetheless it should be acknowledged and celebrated in that I heart every single one of you. Don't feel bitter, embrace and absorb the love around you, and even after the day is over intergrate that love all throughout the year. **hugs all around**

In other news, I've been in a very fanmixing mood lately, in case anyone hasn't noticed. It just sprang onto me all of a sudden, caught me by surprise actually. You know how you hear a song and you think it fits a character from one of your fandoms? My mind works like that, but instead I go for particular story/themes for a fanmix, wherein I find songs that have the right melody and the lyrics to match. Anyway, I am planning on doing at least one for every fandom I am currently in, or contributing to the themes for fanmix. There's one theme this month that I've contemplated on doing, but I haven't had to time aside from the most recent one I just did.

Oh, and there's a BSG friending meme going around, in case any other BSG watchers on my FList wants to find others to share their squee for the show and gear up for S4.

I have about 3984534 half-finished fanmixes for that reason - I can't help hearing characters or universes in songs. And I'm very picky about what I put on fanmixes (they have to be right musically and lyrically and really feel right) so they can go a long time before getting finished off.

Yeah, that's my issue too. There are people who do a half-hearted job at a mix for a fandom/character, just randomly placing songs together without thinking about it. I'm not like that. It's doesn't have to be absolute perfection, but I don't want to do a sloppy job either. I take my time assessing it, and I really don't want to reuse the same song everyone uses for their mixes.

I do have a large music collection, so I go through it and try to pinpoint which song would fit for a specific fandom or character, and then I go for a theme for a particular fanmix. I guess we're just meticulous in that sense.
