Anyone in the UK/Europe wanna find replacements that will hopefully work in more regions?
And, uh, I forgot which version of the Princess Mononoke theme I picked, apparently. Will edit that comment. >.>
The commentary is fun. Looking forward to the rest whenever you get to it. ^_^

Before I give you the link, please be aware that some of the tracks on the playlist are Not Safe For Work. By far the worst is the one by Insane Clown Posse. It's humorous by the end, but it's also absolutely X-rated and gross. Toxic, even. {= P We can thank Agent Luxury for that contribution. ^_^;
YMMV with the rest. I've included every song either identified by name or by lyrics cited. I've also filled in the gaps where a band is mentioned, but no specific track. That includes music listened to or sung by the agents AND music listened to or sung by Suvians. I'm providing a track list with details below, but first, here's the link:
Track List
Items in [brackets] are my best guesses at what fits. Open to improvement!
From "Rambling Band"
From "Chosen"
From "Lady of the Fellowship"
From "What Might Have Been"
From "And In the Darkness Bind Them"
From "Children of the Earth"
From "Why am I Here?"
From "Laugh at the Moon"
From "Gwendolyn"
From "Sisterhood"
From "We Cannot Be"
From "Darkness Awakened"
From "Two Worlds"
From "The Luggage Runs Off With the One Ring"
From "The Dark Elf"
From "Elemental Crystals"
From "To Know Where You Are Going"
From "A Taste of Blood"
From "Broken Doll"
From "No Way Back"
That's 60 tracks total. Nice number, isn't it? If there's interest, I could make split "Jay" and "Acacia" playlists, too?
Either way, I hope you enjoy this!

First of all, because you know I jumped straight to the archiving: awesome! Followed closely by: Yikes, 'Rambling Band' is a bad story. Well done to J&A for killing it. I've added it to the TOS Badfic Archive; the reconstructed badfic (chapters 1 & 2 now!) is here.
They literally drive into the movie. It's pretty bad.
(Incidentally, and speaking of MSTs, I discovered to my amusement that there's an MST of Alec's first Marrissa Picard mission. It's kind of hilarious, because I don't think the MSTer realised what the mission was until they'd already started...)
On to the playlist: this is some amazing work, and I'm putting it on right now. I'm not sure how well my workfromhomeday will stand up to German industrial rock, so there may be some skipping, but we'll see!

If the whole story had been about an above-it-all rock 'n' roll chick learning to appreciate her nerdy audience and maybe read a book and maybe grow as a person, that would be a story I could enjoy. It's just when they go to Middle-earth that it totally falls apart for me.
Also, I came across the band Heart a while back for unrelated reasons, and now I've discovered another reason to like them (influenced by Tolkien), so that's good! I wonder if Laurel knew Heart has also covered Led Zeppelin songs? "Sylvan Song / Dream of the Archer" has some of that same flavor, too. Seems a little ironic for her to be complaining about covering Led Zep while also covering a Led Zep cover band. {= P
~Neshomeh is going to listen to all of Little Queen now.
ETA: Okay, so Heart is one of those bands I just didn't know I've heard before. I have heard "Barracuda." Possibly others I'm unaware of, too. I'm bad at this! (Also I really like their more folksy sound on this album and I wouldn't have guessed it was the same group, wow.)
Because we've got an edit function, so why not abuse it?
At which point I think I need a quiet-break. Live-posting will resume... probably in a couple of hours.
Right, we're back; let's get started.
I was going to duck out again at this point, but then I glanced ahead at the next few songs, and it looks like matters improve rapidly.
Given the state of my workday, the 'break' may last to Monday; we shall see. :)

I mean, I love that song but I'm surprised to see it here because nobody's heard of it. Almost noboey cares about any Semisonic track other than "Closing Time".
Did Acacia actually buy Feeling Strangely Fine? Kudos.
Something like "the fact that Semisonic are only known for 'Closing Time' is one of the greatest tragedies of pop." So, there are people out there who agree with you. {= )
