TROLOL I AM BACK. BACK BECAUSE GDI, I HAVE TO POST THIS.
Okay, so this fanmix accompanies
softshinythings's epic tale called
Tired and Wired. It is the most epic thing ever and I am smitten with it to the bloody bones, I DON'T EVEN CARE. I'm still kind of amazed that someone combinded the trifecta AND managed to do it so flawlessly. Katy, my dear, I thank you endlessly for it. I look forward to new chapters more than I look forward to having breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also, Katy's done two amazing famixes that are so amazing and wonderful and mine isn't near that kind of perfection. They've been on loop for me lately so that goes as to saying how awesome they really are. This fanmix is something I sprouted out as I came to realization that my shuffle knew just exactly what I needed to hear whilst reading. I swear. We Looked Like Giants came on during a Ray/Walt segment and Eyes to Sledge and Snafu. IT WAS FATE. Besides, I truly adore Katy, she is a wonderful human being so I figured I'd do this to say my thanks and confess my love to her. Yeah, it's a big deal.
The mix is divided into two parts because 28 songs was too much for my poor iTunes. The graphic slides are in the second zip file. I didn't actually plan on doing these graphic slides since obviously they're totally not college-y and most of the guys don't actually look 18. Big fail on my part but I still wanted to make some graphics with them and it was quite difficult trying to narrow out their uniform details and whatnot. So in my own world, I figured these would be future scrapbook things but that's just me. D:
WHATEVER, ENJOY THE PRETTY.
If you haven't read T&W or have no idea who these fine gentlemen are, I suggest you get to watching Band of Brothers, The Pacific and Generation kill. The epic trifecta of epic, I say. THEY ARE EPIC. EVERYONE MUST WATCH THEM. And then you can read T&W, it's like an epic sprouted out of epics. An epic within an epic within an epic. Brrrrrmmmmmmm.
So yeah, without further ado! Enjoy the mix, tell ya wives and husbands and all that. ♥
