The Pioneers [a Newt/Hermann fanmix]
Full album art, tracklistings, and download links under the cut.
I'm so sorry this took forever to finish ciaranbochna! I just wanted it to be perfect and I was having such problems with how dissonant the mix was sounding, but I think I finally got it to work! It flows now, but it it's still a bit all over the place which I think feels right. I really hope you like it! <3
While the mix didn't start out as one, it most definitely ended up being a Designations Congruent with Things mix. I've been so enamored with cleanwhiteroom's fic that I just... I couldn't not mix it. Designations Congruent with Things is my jam, man. MY JAMMMMMMM.

The Pioneers
a Newt/Hermann fanmix
1. The Futureheads - The Beginning of the Twist [Acoustic]
If memory serves
Then why am I still waiting for it to return?
My head feels like it's just about to slip
This morning is just a blur
Today lingers on like a bad year
2. Andrew Bird - Dark Matter [Fingerlings Version]
When I was just a little boy
I threw away all of my action toys
While I became obsessed with Operation
With hearts and minds and certain glands
You gotta learn to keep a steady hand
And thus began my morbid fascination
3. Chris Tilton - Fringe Division
[Instrumental]
4. Maxïmo Park - Our Velocity
A stream of numbers hit a screen
And you're expected to know what they mean
Throughout the conflict I was serene
I can't outrun the sadness I've seen
Are you willing to resist
For people you've never met
The devil's wheel revolves
But it needs to be reset
Never, never try to gauge temperature
When you tend to travel at such speed
It's our velocity
5. The Black and White Years - To Modern Science
Cultural heartbeat, let’s keep it ticking
The future is uncertain, so let us work it out
Requisite gut-check, nothing is impossible
The future is not clawless, so let us work it out
And keep the life debt, let’s keep it going
We’ll isolate the beauty gene
I propose a toast to modern scientists
I put my faith in the brighter brains
Of modern science, modern scientists
6. We Are Scientists - Rules Don't Stop
Don’t be alarmed
It’s not the end of the world
If we’re breaking the rules it’s fine
I disregard this kind of problem all the time
7. Andrew Bird - Imitosis
He's keepin' busy, yeah he's bleedin' stones
With his machinations and his palindromes
It was anything but hear the voice, anything but hear the voice
It was anything but hear the voice that says that we're all basically alone
8. Glowbug - Where Is My Mind?
And you'll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimming
9. Egg - Fugue In D Minor
[Instrumental]
10. Tunng - The Pioneers
If it can be broke then it can be fixed, if it can be fused then it can be split
It's all under control, It's all under control, It's all under control, It's all under control
If it can be lost then it can be won, if it can be touched then it can be turned
All you need is time, all you need is time, all you need is time
We promised the world, we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?
A sense of purpose and a sense of skill, a sense of function but a disregard
We will not be the first, we will not be the first, we will not be the first
You said you were going to conquer new frontiers
Go stick your bloody head in the jaws of the beast
We promised the world, we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?
Breath in, breath out, breath out, breath in
So here we are reinventing the wheel, I'm shaking hands with a hurricane
It's a colour that I can't describe, It's a language I can't understand
Ambition, tearing out the heart of you
Carving lines into you, dripping down the sides of you
We will not be the last, we will not be the last
11. Pinback - Grey-Machine
I can see myself (I can see myself)
In the building that stands across from me (I can see myself)
Reflecting in the sky (it's me in herd)
You can see yourself (you can see yourself)
Swim along the giant whales down the street (you can see yourself)
Reflecting in the sky (hey, look, it's you)
12. Grizzly Bear - Sleeping Ute
Dreamed a long day
Just wandering free
Though I'm far gone
You sleep nearer to me
If I could find peace
If this night bleeds
But I can't help myself
13. Ian Cooke - Trouble Process Report [Live]
Credit must now be delivered to whom it is due
You are the one who it goes to
I credit you
14. Owen Pallett - The Butcher [FM4 Radio Session]
My appetite is endless
The people defenseless
This land is big, this land is bigger
But never as big as the mouth of a singer, no
15. The Mountain Goats - Oceanographers Choice
Look at that, would you look at that?
We're throwing off sparks
16. The National - Graceless
I'm trying, but I've gone
Through the glass again
Just come and find me
17. Dan Wilson - The Things We Did And Didn't Do
All the things I knew I didn't know and didn't want to know
That you told me just to tell me later that you'd told me so
Come flooding back to me now
18. Chris Tilton - Connecting All The Fringe-cidents
[Instrumental]
19. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Biomusicology
Chasing sea-foam dreams
Around another dirty old town
Parallel run streams
Toward the gray ocean from the green ground
'Oed und leer, das meer
But look beneath the glassy surface
All the songs you hear
Down there they have a purpose
20. Department of Eagles - Brightest Minds
Just remember when I cut you down
It happens to the better of the brightest minds
21. PlayRadioPlay! - Jello
I think you’ve struck a chord in my heart
Your mass of mind and matter rival that of René Descartes
Thinking through this isn’t even an option
As of ten minutes ago I already have fallen
22. Death Cab for Cutie - Codes and Keys
You're on the floor
Fearful of what's outside your door
But the codes and keys
They can protect you
23. The Mountain Goats - Autoclave
I dreamt that I was perched atop a throne of human skulls
On a cliff above the ocean, howling wind and shrieking seagulls
And the dream went on forever, one single static frame
Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name
And I am this great, unstable mass of blood and foam
And no one in their right mind would make their home my home
My heart's an autoclave, my heart's an autoclave
24. The National - Brainy [Alternate Version]
I've been draggin around from the end of your coat for two weeks
Everywhere you go is swirlin, everything you say has water under it
You know I keep your fingerprints in a pink folder in the middle of my table
You're the tall kingdom I surround, think I better follow you around
You might need me more than you think you will
Come home in the car you love, brainy brainy brainy
25. Vampire Weekend - I Stand Corrected
Forget the protocol
I'll take your hand
Right in mine
I stand corrected
26. Tunng - Code Breaker
Like Watson and Crick you seem to look into my soul
And though my DNA is too small for your scope, you make it much deeper
Hydrogen bursts inside a star
Don't mean a lot from whereabouts we are
It's too far for your scope, but you make it much further
Code breaker, code breaker, code breaker
I've searched around here for the key
But I'm blind to it and quantum theorists tell me
They've never seen the likes of your radar
Code breaker, code breaker, code breaker
