OOC -- Playlists
Because Leigh and I have way too much time on our hands and we have a whole decade of rather entertaining backstory to play with, we decided to make an attempt at illustrating Gabe and Alena's history through song. The result is everything from classic rock to classical to hip hop to fucking Good Charlotte contemporary alternative. Good times and bad - the anecdotal history of Gabriel Sherlock and Alena Alkeinos compressed into one playlist for your easy listening.

Also, similarly because I've got too much time on my hands (what paper due Friday?), I also compiled most of the songs (serious AND funny!) mentioned in the previous OOC thread - the ones I could find in the playlist database, at least. If you want the codes for either one, just shoot me an IM. (Click on "Pop Out Player", they'll open in a new tab.)

"Bang The Doldrums" Fall Out Boy - Uhhh have you ever read the lyrics?

"Hot N Cold" Katy Perry - A description of the past 10+ years from both Gabe and Alena's POV.

"Ex-Girlfriend" No Doubt - 'Cause Alena should have kinda always known that she'd end up Gabe's ex-girlfriend.

"Bitemarks and Bloodstains" Finch - Kait: Reppin' the darker side.

"Addicted" Saving Abel - A good portion of their relationship was spent having sex.

"Intensity in Ten Cities" Chiodos - I'm not the one that you want; I'll only let you down, and I'm pretty sure that you've caught on.

"Your Call" Secondhand Serenade - Somehow, no matter what, the two of them always seem to drift back towards each other even after long periods of avoiding each other.

"Homesick at Spacecamp" Fall Out Boy - Every day on the way home from school during sophomore year Alena would blare this song. Also on the way to see FOB in NYC Gabe's CD player decided to go crazy and played this song on repeat... the entire time.

"Zen and the Art of Breaking Everything in This Room" The World/Inferno Friendship Society - Kait: The title, the lyrics, a Philip K. Dick reference - all scream Gabe/Alena.

"New Orleans is Sinking" The Tragically Hip - Because Gabe is such a fucking little scene kid. :P

"Points of Authority/99 Problems/One Step Closer" Jay-Z/Linkin Park - The song that Gabe insisted on playing on the way to school for all of 10th grade year. The CD eventually broke. Alena breathed a sigh of relief... but then he burned a copy of it. Kait: Also, note the current lyrical irony.

"Mix Tape" Brand New - The mix tapes passed in-between the two of them over the years could fill multiple CD books and many of them, oddly enough, had this song on it.

"Skeptics and True Believers" The Academy Is... - 'Cause you're selfish and I'm sorry/Would you believe me if I said I didn't need you, 'cause I wouldn't believe you if you said the same to me?

"Greener With The Scenery" The Used - Even though neither of them would ever admit to it this song was definitely played numerous times in light of their multiple break-ups.

'You Can Call Me Al' Paul Simon - You can call me Betty and Betty when you call me you can call me Al. What other opportunity was that girl going to have to call that boy Betty?

"The Kids Are Fucked Up" Cobra Starship - Gabe Sherlock secretly wishes he was Gabe Saporta cause G-A-B-E GONNA GET YOU HIGH!

"Rock My Body" The Higher - Go, you move we go, now don't go./You move we don't, now go/Now don't you move, we won't go, now don't go. Go. Indecisive 'til the end.

"Okay, I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don't" Brand New - Simply because those two are so c-c-c-c-c-controversial.

"Blue and Yellow" The Used - Should've done something but I've done it enough/By the way, your hands were shaking/rather waste some time with you.

"All That I've Got" The Used - As mushy and cliche as it is, it's easiest to hurt the ones that you love.

"Stupid Girl" Cold - For some reason that stupid boy fell for that stupid girl who was seemingly always going away. Oh and Gabe's a lewzr. lawl.

"Silhouette Serenade" Vendetta Red - For some reason even after after all of these years, neither of these two know how to open up to the other one. How tragic. Emo kids. Fucking emo kids.

"Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" Will Smith - Gabe loves 90's action flicks. Alena loves Will Smith as Mike Lowrey in Bad Boys and decided that this would be the song that played at her wedding when she became Mrs. Alena Smith. Gabe had to suffer for an entire summer when this song came out.

"Boom Swagger Swagger" Murder City Devils - She and me in time going 'boom boom boom.' Another song dedicated to their healthy teenaged sex life of yore.

"Riot Girl" Good Charlotte - Much to Gabe's and Kait's dismay, Alena had an obsession with Good Charlotte, namely Billy Martin. Funny how this song has quite a bit of application to their relationshit.

"Sweetness" Jimmy Eat World - Alena is a classically trained pianist; Gabe is the guy who can shred those power chords like no other. One day he got it into his head to try and teach her how to play this song, but since the two couldn't be within two feet of each other without making out...she never got further than learning the first chord.

"Papercuts" Gym Class Heroes - Totally a song from Gabe's POV on the past 10+ years of his life in regards to Alena.

"Shake Ya Tailfeather" Nelly, P. Diddy & Murphy Lee - You'd think the guy that could pull off inward heelflip like it was nothing would have no trouble learning the simple dance moves to this song, but sometimes things don't always go as planned and people nearly break their necks.

"Tiger Lily" Matchbook Romance - You know how there is that one song every guy has played on his guitar to his girlfriend while trying to match the vocals, but would deny if brought up in front of "his boys"? That is this song.

"Our Lady of Sorrows" My Chemical Romance - One day Alena got it in her head that it'd be a great idea to practically scream a song in Gabe's face when he was driving and this just so happened to be the song that would spawn her legacy of such. Gabe eventually caught on and would scream along.

"The Twist" Metric - Since the first time she heard this song, Alena insisted on playing this song on piano whenever Gabe would start playing his guitar and then laugh when he got all huffy. In her defense, she did it for the lulz.

"Lindsay Quit Lollygagging (Acoustic)" Chiodos - Gabe thinks that he's too cool to play the piano yet somehow magically knew how to play this song one day. Hmmm coincidence? You decide.

"Anitra's Dance (Edvard Greig)" Kalia Rochelle - The first song the two learned to play on piano four hands back in middle school. Well, it took them awhile because they could never focus long enough to get anything done, but eventually they got it down.
