Talk:Psychic Lover

From Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki

So part of the thought processes that have prevented me from sleeping tonight and led to me making this fucking article was my thoughts on... how are we gonna handle music and albums and the like for this wiki? I mean, I figure that for any given TV episode of comic issue, we should list all of the official ways to purchase your own copy of 'em, with the ISBNs. But songs don't quite seem to get the same gets-their-own-page love, and I'm not sure they should. On the other hand, a purchasable CD of offical Transformers music... well, that's pretty noteworthy, I'd think.
And do we need a full page for the dippy little 4-song singles? A full album, hell yeah, I'd say. But for the Micron Legend theme singles? Maybe just make note of their existance on the main Armada Cartoon page and link to the artists' wiki pages, whih ideally should cover their contributions in full?--M Sipher 10:21, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

And as I look at my Vince DiCola complation CD... what do we do about official TF songs that appear on, well, non-specifically TF deals? Vince's "In-VINCE-Ible!" album here has "Legacy" and two of the BotCon-original pieces on it, but I'd hardly call it a TF album. And then of course there's the whole Boogie Nights deal.--M Sipher 10:30, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

If I remember correctly, they also sing another Transformers song called Survival exclusive to the Transformers History of Sound Box Set that's also available in the Song Universe Box Set. As far as the songs been released in one CD, All 2 of the 3 Micron Legend songs are available in their self titled CD "Psychic Lover" witch came out in September of 2007.--Rammykun 07:32, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Clearly, I've since changed my mind on the "songs get individual articles" issue. Which leads me to this article... Like with Al, a lot of that stuff can be excised from this page and put on the articles for the songs and albums/EPs, since they're not strictly about the band. I'll probably do some of this later once I'm not wiki-editing on someone else's dime. --M Sipher 19:34, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Is there any reason they songs would be ill-served by making them sub-sections of this page?

(I'm not arguing for that, i just haven't put as much thought into it as you have, so I'm asking you.) -Derik 19:43, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

In this instance in specific, these songs are available on mutiple discs, and there's a LOT of information that just isn't about Psychic Lover, but the discs their songs are on. I think it would just be cleaner to list their songs as links to songs' pages, allowing for expanded "what album they're on" information that's not clunkily put into the artist page. (And maybe links to lyrics webapges).

And... in the superficial front, it does kinda up the article count a smidge, aheh. --M Sipher 19:52, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

No problem with the superficiality- I just think that some information is better communicated (and communicates better) in one big article than in lots of little ones. These songs don't fit that though since, as you say, they're on multiple disks and forcing them into 1 article is confusing. -Derik 20:05, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
