Okay, I finally decided to get all my thoughts about 2015 RTC (14/02/2015) into a sort of comprehensive, semi chronological list.
. We already had a Tragic Fact recording, but it's nice to have options. Also they REALLY want you to know they'll be damned if they're working at the mall
. I love Sarah Jane Peltzer's voice
. U.R.A.N.I.U.M is nice, but, God it's hard to hear the lyrics
. According to Kholby, Noel canonically would've written "bisexual werewolf stories", and I just think Noel's terrible writing should be focused on more in fanworks
. Noel's Lament is essentially the same, but it was the version where Monique has a kid. I get why they cut it
. Ocean's dad being left-wing and her mum being right-wing makes for a really interesting conflict, and contextualises "Some of us are left-wing, some of us are right wing..."
. The full version of Play To Win is so different to how imagined it. (And pretty ableist, so yikes) Very catchy though. And I love Rielle Braid.
. Tbh I understand why the crowd loved Play To Win so much.
. As an avid Ocean fan, I really enjoy Brooke Maxwell's whole speech about her character.
. I'd love to see a woman play Mischa in an actual production, however...
. No "take a look baby, he's the real ka-ching"?
. No "Shawtyyyyyy"?
. Is this song even awesome?!?!?
. Talia:
. Let me tell you, I was jumping for joy when Small Things Become Big Things started playing. Well, more accurately, I was so happy I could have jumped for joy but I was saving my energy for other matters.
. References aside, STBBT was almost exactly how I expected it to be, although it was slightly short
. "Once I saw a homeless person eat a raccoon" I love Elliot Loran.
. "Okay, I'm totally having a nervous breakdown right now and I'm going to go grab a beer, and you guys should go grab a beer cause it's intermission" I. Love. Elliot. Loran!
. Early Space Age Bachelor Man was somehow even crazier, also, is it bad that I prefer "Their generals are on holiday, Oh Ricky Potts, what should we do?" to the current one?
. "I spent a lot of time staring at other people's skin and wishing it was my skin" I also love Sarah Jane Peltzer.
. The early Ballad was a lot more on the nose than the current one. Special shout-out to the lyrics: "At the end of the day we're just dead" and "It must be nice, To have a body attached to their head"
."AMELODYFLOATSTHROUGHTHEAITWHENSILENCEFALLSDOESNOONECARE"
. As always, Sugar Cloud is brilliant.
. "Isn't that recorder solo the bomb?" Did I mention I love everyone in this cast?
. Three things one guy on the team suggested: Jane gets wings and ascends into the sky. Everyone comes back to life. KARNAK GETS A SONG?!?
. It's Not A Game/ It's Just A Ride really hasn't changed much in 8 years.
. "Kelly, is there anything that doesn't make you cry?"
. La La Love: La la la, lala, la la la. La LALALA?!?
In conclusion, always check SoundCloud.
