Apr. 15th, 2006 07:23 pmWe Invented the Remix: 4 is up, hurrah!! Here are my picks:
you and i both [the meta movie remix]: omg HYSTERICAL. This is such a clever, clever twist on the story, the characterizations are awesome, the dialogue is witty, sharp and insanely funny, and I have not seen such an original remix in *ages*. Y'all, I was laughing out loud all the way through. Hee!
just like that [the happiness staggering mix]: Writing JC's voice isn't something I think a lot of people do well, but this is perfect JC-headspace and the fact that it all sounds so good on pot is even more impressive. There's a chewy, thick plushness to this remix that I really liked.
show me the way to the ocean [here from there get remix]: oh, yum. Just about my favourite flavour of timbertrick, oranges and dirty clubs and incredible, vibrant dialogue and threemanbussex, oh my YES. Great, great stuff.
a beautiful thing [the kraft mustard remix]: If there's one thing I'm a sucker for, it's fics that have all the boys in them and plenty of affectionate cameraderie interspersed with amusing dialogue. And this one's got that, plus some truths about what people do when they play RPG videogames. *g*
bottom of the ninth [the romance is dead, long live romance remix]: At first I was all, "who the hell would remix a het original character story?!!?" but this story won me over because I like short takes, especially when they're sharp and provocative and don't overexplain the subtext. Very well done.
justin's dark design [the ride it on remix]: Yay! More threemanbus loopiness, with delightful little notes to their characters that seem so spot-on. Me likey.
justification [dust me off remix]: omg, I love stories where Justin's all fucked in the head. And this one works like crazy, because Lance is the perfect foil for it, accommodating and detached and reserved and jaded all at once and the contrast of that against keyed-up, desperately slutty Justin makes for some fascinating reading!
keep pounding rhythm [contrapuntal]: This one's my favourite; although I'm biased because this story is very personal to me, the remixer did an astounding job with it, keeping this luscious langourous mood and adding twists and spikes to the obeah magic that I could never have dreamed of. It's lusty and gorgeous and full of colour and taste and sensation, and omg I think I'm gonna reread it RIGHT NOW.
Check 'em out! And be sure to tune in again next year, when yours truly will be taking over the challenge. Will the circle be unbroken, by and by lord by and by. *g*
