Well, that's unexpected.

It seems that I am so enamoured of Life on Mars that I've decided it's better than anything else on telly at the moment... which is probably why I'm watching it AGAIN.

I feel confused. Is this love? Where are my icons? Will someone make me one that says Protected by Armed Bastards since 1973? or Guantanamo Bay isn't in Spain. or Annie loves you? Or Gene Hunt is love.

Um, speaking of love trinityofone recommended We Could Steal Time by dorcas_gustine, which is not only the best Life on Mars story I've read bar none, but may also be the best story I've read this year. Yeah, it's just that good. Go read it. Now. You know I don't steer you wrong.

While we're on about stories, sparky77 is single-handedly trying to make my head explode over here with plot bunnies. Naked Tony Stark! Stephen Colbert with wings! I've already done the Ianto/George thing, except Ianto left George to have alien babies with Matt, so there went that. However. Before you start a riot. Yes, there is naked Tony Stark on the horizon. Stay tuned to this channel for further developments.

And back to Life on Mars for a minute, does anyone have the soundtracks and would you please please please share them with me? No, I cannot promise that this will lead to LoM fic, I can't say it wouldn't happen either. lazlet look alive!

It occured to me last night that U.S. summer programming is WAY better than the broadcast season. Seriously, what's coming up? Burn Notice. Project Runway S5. Psych. Generation Kill (The new David Simon on HBO - he created The Wire). AND Weeds.

I don't get this much action during the rest of the year. BRING IT!

OMG, you're a Weeds fan too?

I'm so glad you liked that story. I'm trying to think of more recs for you, but unfortunately there aren't too too many fics that really speak to me—a lot of it's just not my style, you know? Also, I have a terrible memory. I am thinking, though!

In the meantime, join tunedinto1973. All the music from the series, hooray!

can we have ari's views on George splitting up from his latest beard?

I can upload the first season album for you if you like. It's addictive! As is Ashes to Ashes. I find myself singing 'Vienna' at random intervals

Frankly, the chance of me looking alive this evening are minimal, but I am sure I can manage uploading the S1 suondtrack for you. :)

There's a new show on USA that starts Sunday I think looks good too.

Full series 1 soundtrack via bitorrent. (http://www.mininova.org/tor/613292)
I compiled my series 2 soundtrack on my own, and it would've been a nightmare if not for the fact that the show is the most fabulous collection of 70s tracks.

It's kind of strange but fun to be in this position of looking forward so much to summer programming (Burn Notice!!) I will have to investigate this generation kill of which you speak.Thanks for the heads up.

(And yay for naked Tony Stark on the horizon)
