{ooc} fanmix.
WHATEVER, I DO WHAT I WANT. And this was a long time coming, and everyone knows music runs my life and all of that blah blah blah. Dedicated to my bbs wegotwork and justlikeapistol, without whom this idiot would be nothing.
one. Songs: Ohia - Captain Badass: Quote Captain Badass, "I am setting your heart on fire, so when you leave me I will burn on in your soul."
two. Neutral Milk Hotel - Gardenhead/Leave Me Alone: Like a walk in the park, like a hole in your head, like the feeling you get when you realize you're dead. This time we ride roller coasters into the ocean, we feel no emotion as we spiral down into the world. And I guess it's worth your time, because there's some lives you live and some you leave behind.
three. Okkervil River - Unless It's Kicks: What picks you up from down unless it's tricks, man? When I've been fixed I am convinced that I will not get so broke up again. And on a seven day high, that heavely song punches right through my mind and just hums through my blood. And I know it's a lie, but I'll still give my love. Hey, my heart's on the line for your hands to pluck off.
four. M. Ward - Right in the Head: I hope my little brother puts a call in today. I hope he don't forget where he came from. I hope he never has to deal with wrongin' someone. 'Cause I lived with many ghosts when I was younger, and I will live with many ghosts until I go.
five. AA Bondy - Hey Preacher: Funny thing about my eyes they don't get any older. You were five and I was six and we were scared to dance. And if I saw your blood run out I'd laugh just like a soldier. You could be my sister don't you know.
six. Wolf Parade - Soldier's Grin: And this dirt was a building before, shut it down before they opened the door. Don't shout, don't holler, don't you cry. What is passed, we'll just leave it behind.
seven. Margot & the Nuclear So and So's - Quiet as a Mouse: When I awoke, I was alive in somebody's room. I felt life and love and hope infested my bones. Wake up, you've got a lot of things to do. Wake up, the sun is rising without you.
eight. Kings of Leon - Black Thumbnail: My cold, cold sailor heart says, "Get on your way." I ain't too proud to say, but that's how I'm made. I'll be that person 'til my dying day. I try so awful hard, but I can't change.
nine. Magnolia Electric Co. - Such Pretty Eyes for a Snake*: We're either greeted by life or its reverse. We get no second chance in this life. So all night, is all right. ... I guess if I do come upstairs with you, it wouldn't be the first time that I made a mistake in my life. In fact I learned how to make a living out of making mistakes. Besides, you got such pretty eyes for a snake.
ten. Led Zeppelin - Ramble On
*I realize there are essentially two versions of the same song on this mix but a) it's not my fault Jason Molina likes to recycle his awesome lyrics; b) both were completely necessary and I use them in different contexts; and c) whatever, I do what I want.
