alias: a dark turn. <3 <3

so, yeah, i had all these plans to icon different fandoms. and then alias_challenge assigned "a dark turn" which is possibly, probably, my very favorite alias episode. so other fandoms will have to wait. the first time i watched this episode i was wringing my hands & jumping around on the sofa. truly, a fine hour of television. *sigh*

i also made a jack/irina mix cd with cover art. because, well, BEST SHIP EVER.

the songs are intended to follow the emotions of the episode. so it begins with quasi-love songs that have an underlying sense of apprehension or distrust. then the two pj harvey songs provide the dark turn -- the moment of giving in & then everything falling apart. and the songs after that are about betrayal, regret, resignation. i dunno, maybe it only works in my own head...

01. michael giacchino >> mother of a mother.

02. elliott smith >> angeles.
i could make you satisfied in everything you do / all your secret wishes could right now be coming true / and be forever with my poison arms around you

03. cat power >> cross bones style.
oh how time flies / with crystal clear eyes / and cold as coal / when you're ending with diamond eyes

04. the arcade fire >> old flame.
a moth flying into the same old flame again / it never ends

05. rainer maria >> artificial light.
if i could just breathe it out / i could always breathe back in / i'll cut all your wires / i never cared

06. pj harvey >> one line
all through the circling years / you were the only one / who could have brought me here

07. pj harvey >> kamikaze.
how could that happen again? / where the fuck was i looking / when all his horses came in?

08. the spinanes >> epiphany.
queen demure, she travels there / and rebels stare / we just turn it side to side / loving the promise

09. pernice brothers >> baby in two.
sometimes it's better not to know / holding onto something when you should just let go

10. the decemberists >> here i dreamt i was an architect.
we travel without seatbelts on / we live this close to death / try one, try two / guess it always comes down to / alright, okay, guess it's better to turn this way

11. kristin hersh >> trouble.
trouble, oh trouble can't you see / you're eating my heart away / and there's nothing much left of me
