To be honest, I'm not sure myself at the moment. HTT's adventures at DSM could theoretically go under a subhead of DSM Panic!, along the lines of The Panzermädchen Files, or the third volume of TFLF could be multithreaded (like the second half of Volume 2 was). A further potential complication is the connection between the Frame Shift thread and Fleet Record, and how all of the above fit into OOTR proper...

... I may have too many fires, never mind too many irons. :)

A problem I only wish I had, Ben. even if we are a bunch of Rabid Crack Weasels waiting for the next release; its because even when you feel the way you do we love to hear what you have to share.

I'm not sure the HTT girls are ready for DSM, and to be fair, I'm not sure DSM is ready for HTT.......

Insert humorous comment here.

I had in mind particularly the George Thorogood & the Destroyers cover, but yes, the Diddley song was the root reference. All of the episode titles in TFLF are song titles, album titles, or quotations from lyrics (except for Chapter Zero, which I thought was a do-wop song from the 1950s, but apparently not; either I've switched timelines into one where it never existed, or I'd just misremembered something).

If anyone is curious-slash-didn't already know:

- "Once in a Lifetime" is a Talking Heads song (Remain in Light, 1980).
- Departure and Arrival are both Journey albums (from 1980 and 2000, respectively).
- "Got the Time" is a Joe Jackson song (Look Sharp!, 1979), later covered by Anthrax.
- "Teenage Wasteland" is what everyone thinks the Who song "Baba O'Riley" (Who's Next, 1971) is called, since it's the most prominent lyric in a song that doesn't have a traditional chorus.
- "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom" is a Robert Johnson blues song, originally recorded in 1936.
- "Make Some Noise" is a Beastie Boys song (Hot Sauce Committee Volume Two, 2011), although I think I also had in mind the track "Makin' Some Noise" from the 1991 Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers album Into the Great Wide Open.
- "It's Only Rock 'n Roll" is the title track from the Rolling Stones' eponymous 1974 album.
- "Comeback of the Year" is part of the title of a track from the 2005 Fall Out Boy album From Under the Cork Tree (the full title is "Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year").
- "More Than a Feeling" was the lead single from Boston's self-titled 1976 album.
- "Love has no brakes" is a (translated) lyric from "Singing!", the Hōkago Tea Time song the band performs in this episode, which was originally the end titles theme from K-On! The Movie.
- "Just What I Needed" is a track from the Cars' 1978 debut album, imaginatively entitled The Cars.
- "In the Hall of the Mountain King" is from Edvard Grieg's 1888 Peer Gynt Suite No. 1, and was originally composed in 1875 as part of the background music for the Henrik Ibsen play of the same name.
- "Shelter" is a track from The Alarm's 1987 album Eye of the Hurricane.
- "Relax" is from Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Welcome to the Pleasuredome (1984), about which we will hear more presently, although it was released as a single the previous year.
- "Call Me Lightning" is a mildly obscure The Who single from 1968, which later appeared on a couple of compilation albums (The Magic Bus and The Ultimate Compilation).
- Discovery is an Electric Light Orchestra album from 1979 (among other tracks, it's the one "Don't Bring Me Down" is from).
- Welcome to the Pleasuredome is Frankie Goes to Hollywood's 1984 album; the TFLF episode title has a space in "Pleasure Dome" to make it a more direct reference to the joking conversation Corwin and Utena had in Among Honest Hearts about naming the house on Mount Weitang (in which he quotes Samuel Taylor Coleridge's "Xanadu" and she objects, "We are not calling the house 'the pleasure dome'").
- "The real relation" is a lyric from Rush's "Limelight" (Moving Pictures, 1981), which the characters discuss in the episode.
- And, finally, "Who Do You Love?" is indeed a Bo Diddley song, most famously covered in 1978 by George Thorogood & the Destroyers on Move It On Over.
