This one has been waiting a cover for MONTHS.
I asked sakoni to draw a fanart for it, but she hasn't started it yet, and last night I took it and wrote fic to go with the track list, so I really didn't feel like waiting anymore.
So here. Have a PRE CRADDLE AFFAIR XANXUS FANMIX about his TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS DAD.
Also known as HOW MUCH TIMOTEO SUCKS AT BEING A DAD. ~~The answer to that question is: A FUCKING LOT.~~

Disclaimer:
Reborn! and its characters belong to Amano.
Warnings:
~~Crappy cover art.~~
This mix works with my headcanon that Xanxus is actually human. You know, deep down, under all his RAGE.
And that Timoteo is one hell of a shitty father.
Also there's a LOT of swearing in the drabbles. That's Xanxus' POV for you, haha...

( Tracklist ficlets & download under the cut ~ )

Late as fuck, once again. Well, at least I'm consistent in my lateness?

( Here be the song video )

Alasdair Mhic Cholla Ghasda
By Scottish band Capercaillie, album Sidewaulk.

In case you didn't know that yet, I was raised in folk music from Britany, Ireland and a few other places. Yes, what people call "celtic music" nowadays. Both of my parents are musicians, and my father plays these types of music (he currently plays the accordion, used to play the violin and is starting to play the guitar again).
This song is a fond memory, one of the songs I particularly liked among my father's CD collection.
(The strangest part is that most of my favorites come from two compilations he didn't like all that much himself, but I just ADORED some of the songs, and he put up with me when I pestered him to be allowed to play them on his CD player.)

I also have a strange pet-peeve on that topic: do not, i repeat, DO NOT call this music "Celtic" in front of me. Never. Especially NOT in French.
You see, I grew up hearing the musicians calling it a lot of names - traditional music, folk music, Irish/Breton music - but NEVER "Celtic music". In France, people started to talk about "Celtic music" once it became fashinable. And the fashion kinda annoys me. (Even though I love Manau to bits.) Besides, I hate-hate-hate the French word "celtique". We have another adjective to say "related to the Celts", and it's "celte" - it's shorter, and it doesn't have this ugly, strangely English-like, harsh "ique" sound at the end.

Please don't come and try to convince me of how wrong I am about this. I don't give a flying fuck. I just hate it. Any comment annoying me with this will be taken as trolling, and banned without another warning. Thanks.

Other folk songs I loved as a child ~~and still love now, mind you~~:
( Aaaand here be some folk music spamming, just because I can. )

Finally, I got this stupid machine to work again. It's still allarmingly slow, but hey - it works. And it has internet. One has to have some priorities for that sort of shit.

So, I'm back to LJ (for something else than just roaring about my computer, anyway). And there's this meme on my f-list, that says to post a song from your birth year every day for a week.
It sounded fun! And then I realized I don't listen to old music much. So it was somewhat of a challenge, too! Awesome ~

So, first song:
( Here be a youtube music video ~ )

JOEY I
From album Veuillez rendre l'âme (à qui elle appartient)
("You shall give back the soul (to whom it belongs to)" ; pun with rendre l'âme = lit. to give back the soul = to pass away)
By French band Noir désir

The French lyrics are on the vid comments, aaaand I'm feeling too lazy to translate them right now. Not that it's be useful to anyone anyway.
This album has other more well-known songs, and pretty much all of it is awesome, but I remember myself listening to this particular one again and again and again when I borrowed the album from the multimedia library. So yeah, sharing the favorite, unknown song sounded better.

As the title says - the answers to this meme. Plus all the links I could find and ~~useless~~ translations into English. \o/

Stolen from

modocanis , and just like she did, I'll answer everything in one post ~ ♥
ALL FRENCH SONGS BECAUSE IT MAKES THINGS SO MUCH MOAR COMPLICATED FOR ME, AND I NEED TO REMEMBER MY OWN LANGUAGE SOMETIMES.
I'll post translations and links once my fellow froggies stop playing "guess which song/band/singer that comes from" ~

Je suis une accro du "essayez de deviner de quelles chansons et groupes/chanteurs il s'agit sans googler !".
Si quelqu'un arrive à en reconnaître la moitié sans tricher, je veux bien lui écrire un drabble sur ce qu'il/elle veut - mais je vous préviens, j'ai fait exprès de ne pas mettre les paroles des refrains, donc ça risque de ne pas être très facile ~ ♥

No One Is Innocent - Le poison par NooneisinnocentOfficiel

"DANS LE MARC D'UN CAFÉ ON PEUT LIRE L'AVENIR
ON N'Y VOIT RIEN DU TOUT !"

("In the grounds of a coffee,you can read the future
There's nothing to be seen!")

*squeals*
Oh, No One Is Innocent ~ ♥
NOW COME AND DARE PRETEND FRANCE DOESN'T HAVE AWESOME ROCKBANDS. HA!
*goes back to listening to the video OVER AND OVER AGAIN*

Pfffft, one day I'm gonna do this massive post of lyrics translation for this band. Because they're awesome, and ~~I feel so damn frustrated by how even my French friends all seem to only listen to English rock~~ they deserve all the fans they can get AND I WANT MORE PEOPLE TO SQUEAL OVER THEIR MUSIC TOGETHER DAMNIT.

I've been promising

nym_aulth to send her French music for a while, and what better way to share music than fanmixes? And since this is a French songs fanmix, it had to involve France at some point, n'est-ce pas ?

So here it comes. All French FrUK fanmix, with English translations and notes in an rtf file. Neither the songs nor the fanart used to make the cover are mine, by the way (I can't remember who drew the fanart, if you know the name of the artist, please tell me so I can credit them).
Beware ! Some songs have explicit violent or sexual content. Also, I swear in the notes.

( Here comes some FRENCH MUSIC ~ )

Edit: I realized I had forgotten to translate the mix' title. It's in the translation file, now.
