methodwriter85 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) Mark, you know how hard you make it for me to score high school scenes when you have Will being so accepted and loved? No one ever makes songs about happy, well-adjusted popular kids, especially late 90's/early 00's poppy punk bands like Blink 182 and Good Charlotte. Edited November 26, 2013 by methodwriter85 1
methodwriter85 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) Chapter 54 -When Will lusts over Austin Biehl, and John and Marie tease him about it. "It's Raining Men" by Geri Halliwell Can I just say that I think it's weird that Will hasn't mentioned Tom Welling yet? Remember the Smallville poster that was posted everywhere during the summer of 2001?I remember a lot of teens were watching the show. Gay guys and straight girls had Tom Welling, while straight guys and gay girls had Kristin Kreuk. Given Will's penchant for beefy muscle boys, I'd have a hard time believing he wouldn't have pictures of Tom Welling plastered all over his room. Edited to add: I checked and the show didn't premiere until October 16th. Still, I'm betting Will noticed the Smallville poster. If I'm remembering correctly, it was placed around gay communities, which led to a minor controversy about how it looked too much like what happened to Matthew Shepherd. -When the family goes for a drive and checks out the new offices.

"Dancing With Myself" by Billy Idol Can I just take a moment to say how fucking gorgeous Billy Idol was in the 1980's? Man.

"Summer Wind Was Always Our Favorite Song" by The Ataris -When Brad gets stopped at Triton for a search. "What's Going On" by a 2001 All-Star Tribute It's crazy to look at this video- it's basically a snap shot and who's who of where music was in the late 90's/start of the 00's. It was intended as an AIDS tribute, and it was shot before 9/11, but after 9/11 the scope of the benefits expanded to include 9/11 survivors. It also reminded me, "Wow, J Lo really was everywhere back in 2001, wasn't she?" -When Brad leans of Triton's plans to expand in order to take advantage of Bush's new War on Terror.

"Dive in the Pool" by Barry Harris I hope I brought out Blue's inner 18-year old club boy with this pick. It's weird to listen to the Queer as Folk soundtrack and watch clips of it and see just how dated its become...which happens, but it's weird to think of the early 2000's as being a decade ago. I actually came across a music channel called "Y2K", decided to the hits of the 2000's, and damn that made me feel old. Edited December 19, 2013 by methodwriter85

Correction: As far as Will's concerned, Matt can talk to Tony all he wants, he just can't fuck him.
B1ue Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 So, when I was 18, I bought the QaF soundtrack from Walmart, because I did indeed like several of the songs, including "Dive in the Pool." I also bought a trance CD, and an Anne Rice novel. My friend with me at the time later asked, "You know, I wonder what the cashier made of those purchases." I laughed. "I don't wonder at all. You didn't notice her glaring at you?" "Me?" "Well, if she assumed I was gay, and you were standing next to me, what do you think she thought you were?" "!!" 2
methodwriter85 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 (edited) Funny story. I never really got that much into Queer as Folk- when it came to a depiction of gay life that I related to, I really loved David on Six Feet Under- low-key kind of gays who interacted more often with straight people instead of living in a gayborhood. The whole circuit boi thing just never appealed to me. You wanna feel old, Blue? The actor who played Justin is now 36. 36! He'd be a male cougar to a 17-year now. (Well, Randy Harrison was 23 when he played a 17-year old, but still.) I do think it might be interesting to see a Queer As Folk that reflects the changes in American society- how gay men are navigating with being able to get legally married in a lot of states, getting pressure to start families like their straight counterparts, having openly gay military men, and what it means to have a generation of boys who were never closeted- gay guys who experienced things like going to proms with another boy and getting voted Cutest Couple at their high school.

She really was doing a lot of good work right up to when she died. I think R&B music would have looked a lot different if she hadn't died. - When they play a soccer game, and Darius blows up at Ethan for his poor sportsmanship.

methodwriter85 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 I just realized that pick should have been for Chapter 63. Oops.

"Night Fever" by the Bee Gees They used to have one in Delaware, at Christiana Mall, circa the late 90's/very early '00s. It was pretty fun- part of that whole 50's theme restaurant deal that was popular back then. The malted shakes were insane. And it was fun to watch them dance to 70's music. - When Zach and Will discuss what this new bond they have means to them, and Zach confesses his fears that Gathan will try to turn Will against him.

B1ue Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Not quite, though I did like it. For dancing though, I prefer something a bit harder, and with more lyrics. My favorite song from that time period would probably have been: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OS-AMJeLROk It's actually a bit older than that, but that's about when I heard it for the first time. 1
