Boot me up and let me play in

(And now, a rare non-housing query.)

Hey, my friendlist! Can you point me toward especially good articles on writing a diversity of characters that are not from one's own sexual/social/cultural background? I am trying to aggregate links for people who are working in this direction.

derspatchel gave me this song. It's a horrible earworm. I realize that may not be fair payment for you linking me helpful things. Have this comic, too.

Is this your first exposure to Freezepop? I can remedy that.

derspatchel's been playing me a lot of their songs, but most of his copies are iTunes-protected. We discovered the overlap of Kasson Crooker between Splashdown and Freezepop the other night after watching Titan A.E.—I recognized "Karma Slave" by the former in a snippet of background music, which I appreciated. I would happily accept deliveries of Freezepop I can play on my computer.

Randomly, I met a realtor named Kelly this afternoon who not only recognized Mission of Burma from my Vs. T-shirt, but then talked to me enthusiastically for the next fifteen minutes about following them in their original lineup and then again post-reunion. He was seriously into the Boston scene of the '70's and '80's. I didn't get his last name, but his son's in a band called Ethics now. That was cool.

It took me a year to realize that Jussi Gamache, a graphic designer I worked with, was also Liz Enthusiasm.

I'm uploading five Freezepop albums for you, but you'll have to get Dropbox working to download them. I'll send the invite when the upload is complete.

That's still cool. I'd paid attention to the half of Splashdown that was Melissa Kaplan, because of Universal Hall Pass, so it hadn't crossed my radar that Kasson Crooker was integral to Harmonix. I told derspatchel I really wasn't surprised.

I'll send the invite when the upload is complete.

Thank you very much!

[edit] I have now downloaded a very great quantity of Freezepop and am listening. I did not realize "MIDI earworm" was their actual genre. Thank you again!
