What's the proper response to an election?

Music, obviously!

We Can Believe In: A 2008 Fanmix

Part I: The Last Eight Years

1. Hymn of the Big Wheel - Massive Attack
As a child's silent prayer my hope hides in disguise
While satellites and cameras watch from the skies
An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea
It washed away my shadow burnt a hole in me
And all the king's men cannot put it back again
But the ghetto sun will nurture life
And mend my soul sometime again

2. American Idiot - Greenday
Well maybe I'm the faggot, America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia

3. Hammer to Fall - Queen
For we who grew up tall and proud
In the shadow of the mushroom cloud
Convinced our voices can't be heard
We just wanna scream it louder and louder and louder
"What the hell we fighting for?"

4. American Tune - Paul Simon
Still, when I think of the
road we're traveling on
I wonder what's gone wrong
I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong

Part II: A New Hope

5. All Will Be Well - The Gabe Dixon Band
A new day dawns
And I am practicing my purpose once again
It is fresh and it is fruitful if I win
But if I lose -- oh, I don't know
I'll be tired but I will turn and I will go
Only guessing 'till I get there, then I'll know
Oh, I will know

6. Because We Can - Fatboy Slim
Yes we can can can!
(Can can can!)
Yes we can can can!
(Can can can!)

Part II: November 4, 2008

7. Blackbird - Paul McCartney
Blackbird singin' in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

8. Tonight, Tonight - Smashing Pumpkins
And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe

9. The 1812 Overture - Tchaikovsky

Coda: The Morning of November 5, 2008

10. It's the End of the World As We Know It - REM
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
And I feel fine

Enjoy. :D

(If anyone with madder Photoshop skills than I wants to make a cover, that'd be awesome. >.> Just sayin'.)

geeky, election 08
