Summary: the Robins decided that Damian needs a broader music education and put together a playlist. The meme is to make up that list.

“Dick?” Steph hissed, crossing the dressing room, her guitar held threateningly above her head. “Tell me there’s a good reason you’re playing with my iThing?”

Dick didn’t bother looking up as he thumbed though her playlists. “D needs an update on his musical education. I wanted to see what you had.”

Steph put her guitar down and flopped onto the couch with him, draped herself over the lead singer as she lifted the player from Dick’s hand. “If he needs modern pop music I’ve got plenty. I think he got the Lady Gaga thing after the show but...”

Dick reached for Tim’s laptop, resting a hand on Steph’s hip so he didn’t unseat her. “He needs older stuff too...Beatles, Beach Boys, some Dylan maybe.” He punched at the keys wildly, getting no reaction from the compact little computer.

“Break that and I’ll kill you.” Tim growled, putting down his bass. “What are you trying to do?”

“Educational playlist for Damian.” Steph muttered.

“Clearly he needs some Sex Pistols.” Jay called, following Tim in. He shed his jacket and started flicking though his CD collections. “Some Metallica wouldn’t hurt?”

***

Here the meme bit – what goes on the playlist? Who picked it and why? Why happened when they played it for him?

Help me out here guys! Damian needs our help.

My selections thus far–

Tim’s pick.
All Along the Watchtower, Jimi Hendrix. Incredible guitar work. Tim would sit there with his eyes closed, swaying along to the music.

Dick’s pick.
God Only Knows, Beach Boys. Just because. Dick would start joking around, singing it to all of the Robins and flirting but catching on Tim, really getting lost to the lyrics as he fell to his knees, really, really singing it to him – the passion and protectiveness.

If you should ever leave me,
‘though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me
God only knows what I'd be without you

Jason’s pick.
Nothing Else Matters, Metallica.
Kashmir, Led Zeplin.
Jason wouldn’t explain either but go hardcore on the air-drums.

I have nothing for Steph but I’m sure you guys have better thoughts there than me.

Uhm. Hi. imalongtimelurker.

I somehow see Damian really liking, "The Saints are Coming," by The Skids:
"I cried to my daddy on the telephone
how long now
Until the clouds unroll and you come home
the line went
But the shadows still remain since your descent."
&"They'll Never Get Me," by Drop Dead, Gorgeous.
"Forgot my name
Forgot where I came from
I died getting here
Make me gold, I'm waiting.

Call me the Dark Angel.
Please don't scare.
Don't touch me.
Don't trust me.
Please keep your hands away from,
Away from,
Away from,
Away from me."

Steph jams out to Paramore. >___> She totally does.
Anything from their first two albums work for her in my head.
I have no clue about their third album, though.
And I see her at least having Hard-Fi's "Hard to Beat," on her iThing.

Tim would totally have, "Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt," by We Are Scientists.
If only to dance around in the shortest shorts and tightest t-shirt imaginable to tease Dick. (And maybe Jay?)
"My body is your body. If you want to use my body, I won't tell anybody."
I like him liking Bright Eyes, or Monsters of Folk. Or Lissy Trullie. Or Brand New. Or Death Cab for Cutie. Or Lou Reed. Ohhh, Spill the Canvas is also fitting.
... I just plain like him liking indie/emo stuff. >___>

Jay's harder to place. :T
Cage the Elephant, if only for the attitude in "In one Ear," and "Ain't no Rest for the Wicked."
Killswitch Engage has some wicked drums when it gets started up. Otep, Norma Jean, Mindless Self Indulgence, Blood Brothers, and Bring Me the Horizon can be in there, too.

Dick's just a complete lyrical sap in my head, probably willing to talk in Beatles' song titles to Tim, "Hey Jude, do you want to know a secret? When I'm sixty-four, I want to hold your hand eight days a week."
"5 Years Time," by Noah & The Whale:
"Oh well I look at you and say
It’s the happiest that I’ve ever been
And I’ll say I no longer feel I have to be James Dean
And she’ll say
Yah well I feel all pretty happy too
And I’m always pretty happy when I’m just kicking back with you."
Cat Stevens, The Cure, Johnny Cash, Joy Division, The Kinks, Mott the Hoople, Oasis, Blur, The Pipettes, Radiohead, Rufus Wainwright, The Who, and The Zombies.
I stayed in '60-'93 range, and stayed really British.

Woooow. I rambled a lot. :T
Remind me to not start talking about music, cause I can't stop it.
>___> Hoped this offered something, though.

Wow! Thank you! That’s an amazing selection of music and a whole bunch of new bands I’m going to have to look up and explore.

The lyrics from Drop Dead, Gorgeous lyric especially are very powerful for Damian. I could see him having a real panic moment of being trapped in the van with the others too long and snapping to scream those lines at his brothers.

Thanks again for joining in and coming out of lurking to share your fantastic ideas.

Put some Green Day in for Tim and Damian. I just really see them jamming out to that. Oh and some Korn for Jason. He would really like Rancid, The Damned, The Sex Pistols maybe the Ramones.
Dick with Nickelback. The newer stuff.
Steph: Adam Lambert. Definitely. The Glambert just goes along with Lady Gaga.
