2nd sopranos are clearly awesome! And were incidentally most of my friends when my main social group was my uni's student choir!
Bump of Chicken is my favourite j-pop band! Of the, um, two that I know! Most cringy name in the world of ever but so happy-haunting-awesome and ... possibly intelligent lyrics? Bit hard for me to tell.
Directional open endings are my literary drug of choice. Endings that slam down an "ever after" with no wiggle room are the most frustrating thing in the world, whether they're ecstatic or tragic, and aimless open endings, where anything could happen, or f***ing hidden endings where the author won't tell you what's happened (Villette I am looking at you) are even worse. Endings with a direction and a new expanse and a face towards the future are the bomb.
Hot water bottles! It is spring and should be way too late in the year for them, but I got miserably rained on today and I am hugging a hot water bottle as I type. *pets it*
Obernewtyn was my first fandom! It was a non-fic-reading fandom, but I met cool people ON THE INTERNET, which was pretty new to me. The Obernewtyn Chronicles is an Australian YA post-nuclear-apocalypse sf/fantasy epic with psychic powers and snippy talking cats and a Chosen One, and it's still not finished but it's kind of awesome.
One Night Jam were my favourite completely unknown Australian indie band! And then they broke up and the lead singer/songwriter released a solo album and it was kind of boring, which, :'(
The Spooky Men's Chorale, oh man, also broken up I think, but the most hilarious gregorian chant group with somber black suits and weird hats who sang about their beards a lot. And also mastadons.
