[FANMIX] blaine - like dylan in the movies
01 THIS CHARMING MAN Stars
“I would go out tonight, but I haven't got a stitch to wear/ This man said it's gruesome that someone so handsome should care.”
02 ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE Pernice Brothers
“I know a heavy load that drags me down, but who doesn't?/ So far out of reach/ A perfection never found/ Love songs in monotone to a tick, tick, tick, tick, ticking/ Are you alive?/ Are you alive? Are you just sleeping?/ In the calm, in the storm, in the radio.”
03 WORLD WATCHING Good Old War
“Whatever good may be, I make it up as I go/ A leading role in a silent movie/ The world is watching me.”
04 TOO YOUNG Phoenix
“It took me like ages just to understand that I was afraid to be a simple guy/ I try my best to smile, but deep inside my heart I felt it was shouting like a crowd dancing/ I guess I couldn't live without things that made my life what it is.”
05 THE KIDS DON'T STAND A CHANCE Vampire Weekend
“A devastating backstroke all the way from France/ With shiny, shiny cufflinks/ A shirtsleeve to enhance.”
06 STEAL THE BLUEPRINTS +/-
“Hey/ I never thought I'd find, under layers of regret, the recognition of the time before the boundaries were set/ When the pages were left blank/ The gold still buried in the soil/ And you could make a lot of noise with no connection to the past/ Do you wonder just what happened to all the desire to carry on without knowing where you're going?”
07 WAKE UP SHAKE UP Blair
“Go find my father/ Tell him I don't give a fuck that he fucked up/ Tell him I cut that rug like it's 1973/ He was free all the good years 'fore there was me.” & “I woke up, broke up/ It's so hard/ It's a joke/ And I choke up/ It's so hard/ And forgivin' ain't forgivin'/ And you've gotta choose how you walk a tight rope with razorblade shoes.”
08 LIKE DYLAN IN THE MOVIES Belle & Sebastian
“Pure, easy listening/ Settle down on the pillow soft when they've all gone home/ You can concentrate on the ones you love/ You can concentrate, hey, now they've gone/ But if they follow you, don't look back/ Like Dylan in the movies.”
09 FAST ASLEEP Voxtrot
“Can't this world cut your face and carry the news that you've got a gift to be given?”
10 TWO KINDS OF RIGHT The Grates
“I stood up/ I stood tall/ I'm paper thin, but I'll cheer you on/ No harm defending no/ No harm defending/ I reached out from the crowd/ I shout out/ Yeah, I shout out loud/ No harm pretending/ No, but I'm not pretending.”
11 TO BE SURPRISED Sondre Lerche
“I'm not gonna whine, screaming, 'I'm so tired!' through a mic/ But, baby, be prepared to be surprised/ Baby, be prepared to be surprised/ You gotta be prepared to be surprised/ It's all I know.”
12 LEARN TO SING Sherwood
“You're never alone, never alone/ Can't you see you only think so?”
++ BIGGER THAN MY BODY John Mayer
“Someday I'll fly/ Someday I'll soar/ Someday I'll be something much more/ 'Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for.”

Final Thoughts: Blaine Anderson makes me feel a lot of feelings, so I hope this mix makes you feel feelings too!
Just as an interesting aside, the Belle & Sebastian track, "Like Dylan in the Movies," references D.A. Pennebaker's 1967 documentary on Bob Dylan, entitled Dont Look Back.
Here is the mix on tumblr if you'd like to be a cool cat and reblog/like it there.
