The Officially Unofficial
Project Northwoods Soundtrack
Hello, all you lovely people! For this week’s blog entry, I thought I would provide my funderful fans something a bit different. With that in mind, feast your eyes on the Officially Unofficial Project Northwoods Soundtrack!
As a fan of music, it should come as no surprise that I write and read to some fancy beats. What follows are some fancy beats that I feel would lend themselves to increased enjoyment of my gigantic novel about super-powered individuals punching each other in the head. Do not take this to mean that any of these artists actually support my book in any capacity—I exist so thoroughly on the bottom of the entertainment industry, I am effectively a mole person.
To put that another way, this is only for fun and should not be taken as anyone's endorsement for Project Northwoods. At most, this is my recommended listening and that's about it.
Where possible, the songs are linked to a YouTube video or artist-hosted site so you can get some sweet instant gratification out of this list. I tried my best to find “official” videos where I could. Every entry that is available for purchase has a buy button, and I would encourage you to spend your hard earned money if you take a fancy to the songs. I am receiving no incentive from this—I just love to spread the word about great music.
Q: Why is this divided up into the columns of instrumental and vocal?
A: Some people don’t like to read when words are being sung at them. I figure it was fair to give them some warning.
Q: The lyrics of ___ don’t match up with what’s happening! What the hell?
A: Well, as much as I would love to shell out money for a musician to make a soundtrack for my book, I am intensely poor. So I would advise ignoring the lyrical content in favor of everything else the song has to offer.
Q: Why do some chapters have multiple songs?
A: Choose your own variant? Also, most chapters have multiple scenes and some music would be woefully inappropriate—these are usually indicated by directions given in parentheses.
Q: Why is there an unlinked video/sample?
A: Either I couldn’t find one or it has been requested that I remove it. It’s still good stuff, I assure you.
Q: The buy button took me to an unavailable product! What gives?
A: Sometimes people run out of stock. Also, I am a tremendous nerd and the things I like may no longer be made. These things happen and I apologize for the cold march of time.
Q: If you could be a vampire or a werewolf, which would you choose?
A: A shoggoth.
Q: What does the tag “NP” stand for?
A: Sadly, the item appears to be non-purchasable. If that changes and I am made aware of it, I will happily fix it.
Q: I hate your taste in music!
A: That’s not a question. But if you would like to suggest something better, you can let me know.
