So what does that mean for everyone here exactly? Should a new list be started? (I'm for that, because reddit is kind of meh.) I like getting notices from this place, dang it.
So before it's discontinued, I know some of you are aware that the video interview with Leslie is being posted in chunks. There's been announcements on reddit, but only 3 of them.

And finally, I did a very badly recording of a song she and I wrote together. Y'all know I don't normally promote myself, and this recording is pretty awful. LOL. But I did work on it two days with a cat making a mess feet from me in one botched recording, so omg it's GOING TO BE SEEN BY SOMEONE DO YOU HEAR?

Lyrics:
The Ice Maiden
by Leskat
Am
C Am C G D
In a time long past, when frost had kissed the dying grass
Am G D Am
A farmer met a maid of ice and snow.
C Am C G D
They shared their love each night (and) she filled his heart with such delight
Am G D Am
That from her side he knew he'd never go.
(chorus)
F C Am
When the wind sweeps down from the hill
F Dm G
Her voice is crying for him still.
F G F Am
No prayer by man nor beast Can bring shelter to the least
F C G Dm Am
When the deadly gales call his name.
Seasons drifted by (and) he stood frozen outside of time.
His icey gaze was distant, young and bold.
Those that met him in the town felt a chill with him around.
His touch could burn you with a seering cold.
(chorus)
Jealous whispers sow spiteful words that start to grow
Dread that makes the humblest of men sin.
"Evil must be chased away," townsfolk were often heard to say.
They set his house on fire with him (D) within.
chord progression - Am G D Am
(refrain)
F C G
As fire and smoke filled the sky,
F Dm G
He faded before bewildered eyes,
F G F G Am
Nothing was left to show but a trace of melted snow.
F C G Em F--C--G
And the frozen winds howled his name...oh
((real bad fingerpicking interlude that hopefully will improve over time)
Am
G D Am F G Am
Countless moons have gone, (and) when the nights embrace the dawn
The ice maid walks the frozen vale alone.
Her heart aches for her love (and) she screams aloud to the gods above
Bring back the only warmth she'd ever known.
Calling for the love he once had shown.
With the black wind's chill
Her voice echoes, calling still.
No prayer by man nor beast can bring shelter to the least
As the deadly gales scream out his (C) name.
When the deadly gales call his name.
