frankenmix #12
Because I am not folding for the man *shakes rebel fist* I decided to do this. So here's my Frankenmix #12 (although it's my first).
All uploads on sendspace for obvious reasons. *mutters*
1. A song that ends with the letter "A" (this can be the last letter of the last word in the title or the song)
Calexico - Roka
2. A song that features a guitar solo
Suede - The Asphalt World
(one of my most favouritestestestest songs ever. Spent a whole semester illustrating it in different ways during art class in high school.)
3. A song that mentions a literary character
Cursive - Driftwood: A Fairytale
So he would buy her things and kiss her hair
To show he was for real
And she would take those gifts and kisses
Though just stringing him along
She knew about those wooden boys
It's an empty love to fill the void
"Pinocchio, oh boy, how your nose has grown!"
So he would cry, "Liar, liar!
I'll prove it to you!"
But then it grew
He had grown tired of her
So it was true
4. A song that isn't sweet at all
Bright Eyes - Padraic My Prince
On a day so gray it's black inside
Watching churches on tv
In a coma you don’t dream
You just hope that someone sits with you
Babies turn blue when they're ignored
Like the sky on summer days
5. A song you would sing in the shower
Le Tigre - Deceptacon
Broder Daniel - Luke Skywalker
6. A song that your friends wouldn't expect you to like
Missy Elliott - Get Ur Freak On
7. A song that isn't a poem, but could be
This is where I curse the fact that I used Bright Eyes for #4, because seriously Conor Oberst writes the most poetic lyrics ever. But now I have to find something else. So, uhm...
Matt Costa - Wash Away
Float down stream, rivers of dreams
Float down stream, catch your wings
Heavens high, so you fly
Catch your dreams in the sky
But the glaciers have frozen your feet
I can't wait for eternity
And so you watched me wash away
But maybe we'll catch up someday
Maybe well catch up someday
8. A song that mentions an insect
Ed Harcourt - I've Become Misguided
Sometimes I'm afraid of my shadow
It's always following me
In my home in an old trombone lives a family of bumblebees
And I'm fearful of the sharp sting that fractures through the skin
Walking on the dark scorched earth
9. A song for filling out paperwork
22 Pistepirkko - Frustration
Shadow and too much sun shine
Canned love and radio star
Bad soda and air condition
Black cables and too much sorrow
Sorrow is the reason to my horror
I´m a moron ready to go for
Frustration yee yee yee
Big screen sensational person
Daw jones is goming down
Old cheesecake once more
There might be something on the floor
Looking up the sky is calling
I´m dreaming i´m exploring
I´m a moron ready to go for
Ten a clock i´m almost there
10. Your favorite mash-up (or a remix, if you're not the mash-up type)
Sia - Breathe Me (Four Tet Mix) *isn't the mash-up type*
11. A song for being stuck in the elevator with an attractive stranger
Franz Ferdinand - Words So Leisured
Pulp - This Is Hardcore
12. A song about transportation
Tsui - Of Clouds and Freight Trains
