Music
Whether because it revolves around a club or just because the first story in the series was inspired by a song, music is rather prevalent throughout the series. I thought it would be fun to put together a collection of songs (playlist) and their corresponding stories.
The Strokes title sign and CD cover graphics were all created by the fantastic x_posed_again!
Volume 1 Summary: These songs span the first three years of the Strokes series. Many correspond to songs used in the introductory stories, others are mentioned and used within stories, and some just fit the stories themselves. There is at least one song for each season written about during the series. I particularly wanted to make sure there's a good mix of stories. Some are romantic and sweet. Others have nothing to do with love or relationships. Some bookend the stories, others appear in the stories themselves, and others just match-up well. I also wanted to make sure nearly all the characters were represented and that it didn't concentrate too much on any one or two characters.
