fanmix for "more records than the kgb"

more records than the kgb, joe jonas/demi lovato, 22,600 words
irishmizzy

jonas brothers big bang is upon us around these parts! :D i was blessed, utterly and completely blessed with irishmizzy as the author. the way she puts words together is basically the most pleasing thing ever. you should read this because:

a) joe jonas eats a snocone!
b) demi is fine, fresh, fierce etc
c) disney kids as spies--GET ON THIS GRAVY TRAIN RIGHT NOW
d) it's irishmizzy, you know it'll be good.
e) did i mention there are spies?





this mix is not a sad mix. i would say thoughtful. there is one non vocal piece and one in another language; for most of the songs it wasn't so much the lyrics (though that was important, just less) but the melody and flow of the song. the mix builds and ends on a high note, just as the wonderful and beautiful source material.




1. it's not the fall that hurts | the caesars
stumblin' with every step I take
and it seems I can't get a grip
I'm soon gonna slip

2. to build a home | cinematic orchestra*
'cause, I built a home
for you
for me

until it disappeared
from me
from you

3. apres moi | regina spektor
I must go on standing
You can't break that which isn't yours
I must go on standing
I'm not my own, it's not my choice

4. casualty | look see proof
they're going too fast
they're going too fast
you're falling behind

5. a postcard to henry purcell | pride and prejudice
instrumental

6. today has been okay | emiliana torrini
no one's gone in vain
here is where you'll stay
'cause life has been insane but
today has been ok

7. a cause de garcons | yelle
song is in french and the lyrics are not entirely applicable; the emotion of "fuck you, we're not gonna take this" is relevant.

8. somewhere between waking and sleeping | air**
there is a place that I have seen
somewhere between waking and sleeping
now I can almost see
figures upon the shore

9. gortoz a ran - j'attends | hans zimmer
song is in breton. please just stop and listen.

10. i'm with you | the stills
if you believe in me
I'll believe in you
I'm with you
if you want me to

*on the album art it clearly says "camera obscura", that was a complete and utter fingerslip on my part.
**LOL ANOTHER ONE. pocket symphony, stated on the album art is the album title for the song by air.

download. 51.3 mb.

and bonus! because these songs came on while i was reading, because spice girls is always applicable, and because just in case you hadn't horked it from another fanmix, the namesake of the story.

i'm a lady | santigold
viva forever | spice girls
breakfast in nyc | oppenheimer
turn me up | benny benassi
paper planes | m.i.a.

download. 38.5 mb.

i will upload individual songs upon request. :D

now please go and tell irishmizzy that you think she's amazingly talented and wonderful at life. yes, go now; you can tell her while the music is downloading--how neat is that? ;) ♥

(&) disney: happiest channel on earth, (^) my life comes with a soundtrack, (-) demi lovato, (-) joe jonas
