Maximum Ride fanmix.
Um. Getting the actual songs and composing the fanmix took me all of, oh, four hours. Uploading the songs and such took me the rest of the goddamn day @.@ I was actually planning on leaving you all a list of the best of my fics that I've written this year while I went carvoting off in France for eleven days, but this is so much better and less of a self-pimp, yes? =D
.. No. Guess not.
1. Songs are individually uploaded to box.net and should be permenant (except for O.G. Bitch, which is bigger than 10 MB. Or some shit like that.)
2. .Zip is located on sendspace, here
3. Cover art is completely and 100% credited to _creations_. I just slapped the text on because my Photoshopping skillz are, like, l33t like that.
4. I made sure this CD was burning length, and all files are .mp3. Aren't I so nice like that?
5. Let me know when the links die. I'll get it back up in a jiffy. (Unless I'm still in France. Then you're screwed.)
6. Listen and enjoy!
1. Die Another Day by Madonna
(the flock)
I'm gonna keep this secret
I'm gonna break the cycle
I'm gonna shake up the system
I'm gonna destroy my ego
I'm gonna close my body now
I think I'll find another way
It's not my time to go
I'm gonna avoid the cliche
I guess I'll die another day

2. What if God Was One of Us? by Joan Osborne
(Max)
If God had a name what would it be?
And would you call it to his face?
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
If God had a face what would it look like?
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that
you would have to believe
Download One of Us.mp3
3. Constipated by Weird Al Yankovic
(Gasman's fantastic voice-throwing powers)
There are no relevant lyrics =D The song was referenced in the opening chapter of Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports, so why not? Yay, light-hearted fun.

4. Your Tongue Like the Sun in my Mouth by Sophie B. Hawkins
(Ari, Max/Fang)
I met a woman from another time
I couldn’t think
But a drink from her eyes
Was like water to wine
I search the desert for a treasure
And a measure of life denied
I’m driven by cars and guitars and her voice
Ripping up and down my spine
And now I’m giving my life for her sight
To be mine
And in her presence
My fate unwinds
For when her essence
Draws me too near
I can taste her with tears
On my tongue
Like the sun
In my mouth.
I met a man who kicked my front door down
He blew in with the Santa Ana winds
And a half cocked hound
I was young in his eyes
I was sweet on his thighs
I was shot like a free bird in flight
To the ground.
I woke this morning from a deadly dream
He was my lover he was my filler
He was my chocolate-colored killer
He was me
I’m built to run
My will is to deceive
But you penetrate severely
I am walking insecurely
And I will wait through Winter, Spring and Summer
If you’ll Fall in love with me
From Rome
To Madrid
To Paris
With my lips
Or my hands
On your hips
Or my tongue
Like the sun
In your mouth
Download Your Tongue Like the Sun in my Mouth.mp3
5. Happy Phantom by Tori Amos
(Max)
And if I die today I'll be the happy phantom
And I'll go chasing the nuns out in the yard
And I'll run naked through the streets without my mask on
And I will never need umbrellas in the rain
I'll wake up in strawberry fields every day
And the atrocities of school I can forgive
The happy phantom has no right to bitch
They say Confucius does his crossword with a pen
I'm still the angel to a girl who hates to sin
Every day we're getting closer
The sun is geting dim
Will we pay for who we've been
Download Happy Phantom.mp3
6. Sky by Sonique
(Jeb)
Look at me, it really was not easy, but I can breathe
And I’m so grateful ‘cause I can see
Follow me
To a place where we can be absolutely free
To be exactly what you wanna be completely
Give me the key to set your heart and spirits free, oh yeah
I know what I want and I know that I need it right now
Gonna take you on a journey to a far away place now
Oh I wanna touch the sky, I wanna fly so high
Download Sky.mp3
7. O.G. Bitch by Esthero
(the Director)
I suppose you think that you know me now
Yeah, I bet you've got it all figured out
And you try and pick apart the shit that I do
All the while the quest for fame has got you
You're so vain, you don't even notice that corruption surrounds you
You don't even notice somebody set their arms around you
How kind of you to offer what you think a woman should do or say
Maybe if you weren't so self-righteous,
You would not have such a hard time getting laid
Whatever you have to say out loud to convince yourself that you're right
Oh you're just waiting for me to drown
So no one knows that you stole my whole sound
And yet you're grinning when I come around
You fake ass bitch
I am the original bitch

8. Alright, Alright (Here's My Fist, Where's the Fight?) by Sahara Hotnights
(Iggy and the Gasman)
You've got me down
But I won't stay low
I'll make my point
I'll rub it in
You're no big deal
Out of style and out of class
I can't wait 'til I get back
Into action and attack
Doesn't matter what you say
Hey, what's your mission anyway
You're so afraid of losing it
But you're more afraid of showing it
No good manners, no social skills
Just vanity and overkill

9. 64 aka Go by Lemon Jelly
(the flock)
I went throughout the land
Ah hour an hour the days went by
From dawn 'til setting sun
East, west
East, west
East, west
East, west
Near and far, the desert sand
The mountain quest
I knew someday I'd face the test
And so at last
I understood

10. Hell by Squirrel Nut Zippers
(Anne Walker)
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow therell be hell to pay
People listen attentively
I mean about future calamity
I used to think the idea was obsolete
Until I heard the old man stamping his feet.
This is a place where eternally
Fire is applied to the body
Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
Then baked into cakes which are passed around.
Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement
Top skill and brain
But all the things you try to hide
Will be revealed on the other side.
Lose your face, lose your name
Then get fitted for a suit of flame

11. Knees of My Bees by Alanis Morissette
(Nudge)
We share a culture same vernacular
You with your penchant for spontaneous advents
You are a gift renaissance with a wink
With tendencies for conversations that raise bars
You are a sage who is fueled by compassion
You are a spirit that knows of no limit
That knows of no ceiling who baulks at dead-ends
You are a wordsmith who cares for h(er) brothers
Not seduced by illusion or fair-weather friends
Who walks what (s)he talks

12. Change the World (Lost Ones) by Anberlin
(Fang)
If I could write one letter
to the world as we know it
Heartache temporary
Bullets only stop your blood
Pain will live on and on
In everyone, in everyone
The model holds no answers
Chemicals imbalance
Who needs them anyway?
Desire is close at hand
Her lips can only sway
There's more to life than this
Don't give yourself away
We could change the world
We could strike the chord
(we are the lost ones, we are the lost ones)

13. Que Sera Sera by Pink Martini
(Angel)
When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother what will I be
Will I be pretty
Will I be rich
Here's what she said to me
Que sera sera
When I was just a child in school
I asked my teacher what should I try
Should I paint pictures
Should I sing songs
This was her wise reply
Whatever will be will be
When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will there be rainbows day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said
Que sera sera
Whatever will be will be
The future's not ours to see

14. Digga Digga Dog by Oren Waters
(Total)
Ain't that the man in the moon dancing over our heads
While all good dogs are asleep in their beds
Smilin' in their dreams at the crazy things people do
When you think you've fooled them, who'll make a fool out of who?
Ya think you're on top of the game - you've got a lot to learn
When life hangs tough, take a dog-legged turn
People, they think they're so cool if they throw you a bone
Wait till they discover - you've got some tricks of your own
Where have you been?
I've been to London to look at the Queen
Can you tell a spotted story? Yes I can!
I saw a dog who was walkin' a man!

15. Schizophrenic Conversations by Staind
(Max, Max II, Eraser Max, the Voice)
Are you afraid, afraid of the truth
In the mirror staring back at you.
The image is cracked but so is the view, here.
And the strength of a tree begins in the roots
That I tend bury into you
At least now the storm can't blow me away.
So crawl inside my head with me.
Should I be afraid of this face that I see
In the mirror staring back at me?
So cold were the days when I listened to you.
Because I still exist in spite of you
But I won't compete with you every day.
I still have schizophrenic conversations
When there's no one else around to hear.
I long for solitude and peace within me
Void of all the anger and the fear.
I'll show you how it feels to be
To blame like me
Ashamed like me
