So, it is up to you, guys. Which song / theme suits a particular character best?
To make a start on this, here is a suggestion for Bill Roberts.

Holy crap, this is such a good question. There are soooo many songs and so many bands and sooooo many character traits that songs might exemplify for any given character. I just don't even know where to start, but I'm going to go with an obvious choice:
Scratch.
It'd be easy to choose something like Apex Predator by Otep, but I don't really hear it when I think of Scratch. Then I wonder what she'd listen to when she's just pimpin' around the living room, or hanging out in the tub or whatever, and it's easy to go with I'll Cut Your Hands Off by Melou (great band by the way). If I think of her back story I could say, "Oh well it only makes sense that it'd be Somewhat Damaged by Nine Inch Nails." But it's not that easy to pick one single facet to sum up the character with a piece of music, and I'm not even getting into cues from film scores. Jesus, we'd be here all year if I did. This is really something I should have blogged about--and I still may. Yeah. I have no answer for this, so it looks like this IS going to become a blog entry.
I think this is appropriate as well:Quote:

What is Pegs' song? It there one at all?
Pegs???
Well, something from Suzanne Vega, I guess ... For example:

Yeah, THIS is definitely a true song for Pegs!Quote:

Enjoy...and warning, if you've never heard this song before or get an allergic reaction to Jewel's music, this song might make you itch.

Yes, this is song which describes Pegs quite well. Good choice, Hanniekuma.Quote:

Michael's and Pegs' song for the opening episode of season 4 - probably. Maybe a bit cheesy but suitable to describe the situation, I guess.

Something for the late Lt. Angel Tanudo:

Speaking of cheesy......as I was relistening to Season 2 again, this song came to mind as a soundtrack for Burt.

Ah, it is hard to find a song for Saul (and Lizzy)...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1rdkJz8nxM
I keep hearing this when I think of Saul and Lizzy rolling through LA after Zday....

There must be a reason that somebody is called Tardust:

I was working when this song came on my playlist. I squealed, " Peg and Michael!"
The looks I got from the other cubicles.

Here is something (bitter)sweet for Riley:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFFaqceptJU
Is there a good song for Kelly out there?
I think brick house for Riley. It is not quite right because some of it is sexual in nature, but..
She is built like a brickhouse
She is the one, she is the only one built like amazon.
We can be biased by Claire Dodin and the images of Riley in the chapter pictures, but there are many occasions we are described the physicality of Riley
paraphrasing
Chapter 1+2
Michael says I've not seen army girls not put together as well as she was
Pegs I thought the dresses were a little large, but they would totally fit Riley
Jumping rooftops on the way to the arena
Angel says Datu is shorter
Chapter 24 impersonating Pegs
Burt says yea, if they are expecting a tranny
Chapter 37 at Angel's grave being hugged
Burt says easy, I was in the hole while you were out playing GI Jane
One last thing about Riley. We have seen her balk at heights
Season 1 jumping rooftops
Season 2 going to the fire truck
Season 3 escape the hospital
I expect similar stress to a greater height, but this time she powers through it without someone lowering her down or there to catch her.
And this is Heinrich's song, the German character whose scenes were removed from the early episodes :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi8ShAosqzI
Sorry, I could not resist. It is definitely the best stereotypical depiction of a German by Norwegians in recent history.
I'm definitely showing my age on this.....a song for all the lovers on We're Alive. Plus...I kind of picture looking like a more buff Roddy Frame because my real Life Michael looks like him :)

This old school EBM came up on my player today and I immediately thought of Riley and Burt. :) Oh and OOOPS...forgot.....there's some boobage in this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1cRGVaJF7Y
This is for Lizzy (and all Lost Boys fans out there)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I92u-SJRNM4
Here's a General one for the show....... Bit Cheesy but hey!
http://youtu.be/trS2nrkN0_k
Sorry for posting so quick again but this one is definitely Tanya. I can just hear it......
Michael: Tanya, Why haven't you fill in the details of your grandchild's birth in your journal??
Tanya: Come on now Michael, Ain't nobody got time for that!!
http://youtu.be/Nh7UgAprdpM
PS: first bit's not quite a soundtrack but still fits

Perfect! haha
I can imagine Burt, in 1984, singing or humming this while he stockpiled his private armory.

and some local color for Chicagoans....this song was a constant on XRT.
Riley's Song
There`s a Scratch in me kitchen what am I gonna do?
There`s a Scratch in me kitchen what am I gonna go?
I`m gonna fix that Scratch that's what i`m gonna do,
I`m gonna fix that Scratch.

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you THANK you for posting this!
I've been thinking a lot about all the relationships in WA and how accurate they are. It's all about timing and meeting in the middle. Unfortunately for Pegs and Michael, Angel and Riley, it seems like the typical case of " don't know what you've got..."
I'm a huge fan of heartbreak....disco, stories, poetry, books. There's just something about longing and the gut punching ache of wanting something so bad that every single time you have a moment to grab it, it just disappears, or worse, it crumbles in your hand. WAAAAH!
This song by The Strokes reminds me of Kelly's and Michael's pretty much at the beginning of WA. Kelly had her point of view and surely had his. I would consider it as fitting for Kelly at that particular and uncertain time. Sometimes, you just have to get along with a broad variety of people. You do not have to love or even like nevertheless.
