Farewell to the Remus Lupins

Sorry for being so behind! I've been a little pre-occupied.
Anyway, while I'm not at LeakyCon right now, I can say I know a lot of things that have been going on. And apparently, the Remus Lupins have retired.
So I'll write a nice little farewell.


Dear Alex and co.,
Thank you for being one of my favorite wizard rock bands. You're one of the main reasons I'm even in this game. I'm really sad that the band itself is done, but I'm hoping to maybe catch a few songs out of it while we're at it.
Best of luck to all of you, I know you didn't retire for no reason, and I know whatever is uphead is going to rock harder than the Lupins ever did :)

Much love and sonic screwdrivers,
Randi

Songs That Referance Outside Stuff

I realized something about wizard rock the other day: We like a lot of stuff besides Harry Potter, and we put it in our songs about Harry so it's doubly awesome. Or they're parodies of our favorites songs. Here's some of my favorites.


Spells and Scars by Oliver Boyd and the Remembralls- This is one of the only, if not the only song on this list where the referance is not made in the lyrics. It's in the guitar solo. And it's the Dr. Who theme song. Lemme set the record straight, If there's one addiction that rivals that of Harry Potter, it's Dr. Who. So I fangirled when I heard this song. Nice job, Christian.
Ginny Is  A Punk Rocker- Whompy parodies the Ramones! Based on the landmark Sheena Is A Punk Rocker, Ginny had my cracking up.
Dog Days by the Deathsticks-  As well as my other addictions ( I need therapy I suppose) Florence and the Machine is my biggest music one. So of course I nearly died listening to this. It's a diferent kind of death song as well. It's not weepy or sad. It's just, RUN HARRY HE'S DEAD THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO STOP BEING ANGSTY IT'S ANNOYING! (My thoughts for most of OOTP). I also like the playing of the grape spoons.
Cedric by the Moaning Myrtles- It's a Twilight referanced song, although I don't like Twilight, it's ridiculously funny, just like everything else the Moaning Myrtles do.
