Thanks @iamamythologicalcreature and @thewholelemon for the tag today!
The Record Shop AU continues. We're finally going to hear a bit from Simon (his POV) today. I may rework this part at some point but I wanted to step away from Baz (well, not entirely) for a while. If you have any strong feelings about Styx or the song "Mr. Roboto" then this might just be the excerpt for you!
“Fine, Baz,” I say, sighing, “how have my mix tapes offended your delicate sensibilities this time?”
“It’s ‘Mr. Roboto,’ Snow,” he states, like that explains his whole argument.
“Yeah, I know. I made the tape myself.”
Baz scoffs. “You’ve taken a song from a concept album and jammed it in next to Blur and Taylor Swift, which, by the way, is yet another crime against music we’ll have to discuss at some point.”
“I know it’s from a concept album. Kilroy Was Here, 1983. So what?”
“It’s part of a larger narrative, you heathen. It’s the introduction to a commentary on censorship and fascism. This is where we meet Kilroy, the main character of the whole bloody album.”
“I know!” I growl. "What does that have to do with my mix tape?"
