music makes the people come together

[hth]

Okay, there's apparently 130 of you out there, and since the only thing I've done with this journal since the stone age is post Atlantis fic, y'all must be mainly Atlantis fans. Therefore, you are of use to me:

Tell me (or point me in the direction of whoever else has gone on this quest before me) what kind of music our Space Heroes listen to.

Does Rodney have a secret rock'n'roll life, or is it just all about the piano? Who's filed next to Johnny Cash on Shep's Napster account? Is Elizabeth remotely cool in any way? And don't forget Ford! Actually, don't forget anybody, I'm interested in the whole station, anyone you might be able to think of.

And, you know, I mention again that there are *130* of you reading a journal where I do nothing but post fic, so you must have some kind of vested interest in my fic. And this is for a story! So help me out and I can, you know, write the story!

HEY! Make that 131 people and I'm not just her for the fic. I totally see Rodney as a classical music fan - Glen Gould and Bach and other cerebral stuff. He might even like some kinds of jazz although I'm thinking that he's not that fond of the clashing, more dissonant types of jazz but the cool stuff like MJQ with maybe a secret love of the really sappy romantic songs. I'll bet Elizabeth likes Janis Ian as well as Joni Mitchell. Shep - 80's stuff (Oh yes) but also blues and early raw rock (Sun Records and other really earthy recording studios). Ford - you know, it's too bad but they just didn't show enough of the kid for me to get a sense of him but I'll bet that he's into whatever is the latest noise on the iPod download.

What about Radek? Middle European folk music? Carson - bagpipes (I can see a really neat ficlet with him playing the pipes and waking up the crew on Atlantis). What about Cauldwell....euuuu....don't like the character enough to visualize him even listening to music.

It would also be fun to imagine Teyla's music -- maybe something like the Deep Forest CD with a techno beat overlaid over the more traditional music.

Off to imagine Shep shaking his booty...
