I feel like this is a public service announcements because 1)anything that involves Matt Bomer kissing other dudes is something we, the fandom public need to know about 2)as people who love !The Umbrella Academy (thats The Umbrella Academy) and were heavy into Bandom know this is good old GeeWeezy's source material but maybe didn't wanna slog through fucking 70s/80s comics and all the bullshit therein - so, ya know insight for us folks and 3)When you put Matt Bomer, Timothy Dalton, Brenden Frazer, and Alan Tudyk together with Maritza from OITNB I dont ACTUALLY need a plot thats a FUCKING BONUS and 4)I just like it when my superheroes are allowed to fuck and say "fuck" for I am a simple creature at heart.

This Has Been A Public Service Announcement

I'm not going to try to crosspost, so just thought I would drop this in here.  I loved the music in TUA, and went looking for a soundtrack only to be disappointed because the only official one available seems to be the instrumental music.  No criticism intended if that's your thing, but I wanted the songs.  I found something called "Umbrella Academy Fantasy Soundtrack" but not sure what that is.  It's very incomplete.  Anyway, [Tunefinder]
https://www.tunefind.com/show/the-umbrella-academy/season-1)

has a fantastic listing of every piece of music in the show, organized by episode.  I just discovered this site, and it seems to be crowd-sourced info.  It has links to buy the songs that people have identified, so if you're willing to put together an album yourself you can.

If you're looking for some of the older songs, and you happen to have a library card to a public library, you might be able to download them for free from [Freegal]
https://freegalmusic.com/home).

  You can set up an account with the library card number, and download up to 5 songs a week.  I found the Harry Nilsson song from Russian Doll there, as well as several from TUA including Nina Simone's Sinnerman which I believe on Amazon is available only with purchase of the entire album.

@arduinna, I have been dancing in my kitchen to those songs for the last few days! The music is so fun.

I really love the score, myself, but the soundtrack was amazing too-such great musical choices.

DO TRY AND CROSSPOST! CROSSPOST ALL YOUR UMBRELLA THINGS HERE! Any fic or pictures and stuff! Crossposting is good! Lets get actual life going here. Also, the official netflix playlist is on Spotify. I found it like...thirty seconds after watching.

!The Umbrella Academy

Just testing to see if the ! crosspost is still working for posts.

(But for some ObUA*: Klaus! )

*ObUA = "Obligatory Umbrella Academy content so my post isn't entirely off-topic", because I am apparently reliving my mailing list days where Ob[Thing] was a thing we did.

Hi friend. Are you in the hell that is the Netflix version of Gerard Way and Gabriel Ba's The Umbrella Academy? No? Well as a bandom old we've gone around and back full circle after a dozen years to be blessed with genuinely quality content, insufficent gayness but the promise of potential new gayness next season in the form of Robert Sheehan playing that genderfluid pansexual shit we all are actually living out here, family bullshit, powers, and like...idk man, actually good acting?

Personally, I'm in hell. I dont know why I thought I could avoid it. In my life I have yet to avoid, successfully, having feelings about anything Gerard Way has put out as content. I dont know why I thought I would be able to get away from this.

I made a channel because thats what I do now, I make channels no one uses, ttps://fandom.stopthatimp.net/channel/tua for when anyone should feel like writing or making or creating for those disasters (and oh man are they disasters, quality disasters too) and when it's done syncing up !The Umbrella Academy or tua@fandom.stopthatimp.net will actually post things there.

Oh, and I'm writing fic. Holy shit am I writing fic. I havent written fic like this in...years? I'm gonna say years. Not since I was REALLY on a roll with Magnificent Seven which was like...2016/2017 at least. The feedback in that fandom is UNREAL. So fucking rewarding oh my god.

It's almost enough to distract from the inanity and unpleasantness in my real life. Which is nice.

So how are yall?

I'm probably older than the demographic that's really familiar with Gerard Way, TBH. But I thoroughly enjoyed TUA. Netflix released Russian Doll and Umbrella Academy in the same month and I watched them back-to-back, and now I'm kind of at a loss for what to watch next! They were both so very good. I did a little googling about a second season and it seems likely? But not till late 2020, which makes me wonder about the younger actors -- especially Number 5. That teenager was *amazing* but he's at the age where a year can make an enormous difference in appearance. I hope they stick with him for the role.

Number 5 should get an Emmy, seriously. He blew me away.
