*listens to some* Wow. XD Yes, it definitely hits all of those. Very appropriate.

Ooooh! Maybe... the Pet Shop Boys? Soft Cell?

(Speaking of, I realized that Writer's Block Person would have a theme by 
Erasure. The *gayest* synthpop. :D And the least self-aware.)

Oooooh, nice. :3 That captures a lot of that feel.

I was trying to think of a theme for the Spoon of Destiny Saga itself... 
something that represents that powerful, chaotic sense of creation... Mozart 
collaborating with Great Big Sea. Yes.

:3 Naturally! <3 I think FLASH! would have a TMBG theme, since it represents all 
of the LNH, and that's the LNH-iest band.
