NOTES; I started this mix the day after I saw the movie. Well. I went to the midnight show, and then I saw it again about fifteen hours later. Then I started this mix that night. And it took pretty much up until I pressed post to finish it. LABOR OF LOVE AND ALSO SOME HATE.
(WORKING ZIPS NOW INCLUDED!)

__GRAM RABBITS -- THE DEVIL'S PLAYGROUND
up & down
bad & good
nobody’s living like the way they should
anymore, anymore
up & down
bad & good
nobody’s living like the way they should anymore
there’s gotta be more
__THE REPUBLIC TIGERS -- BUILDINGS AND MOUNTAINS
Have you watched the cities move?
Does nature fall before
This age of industry?
For today I'll let it go
You've been good to me,
Have I been good to you?
__ ANDREW BIRD'S BOWL ON FIRE -- CASE IN POINT
In a cartoon desert landscape
With a pair of ACME jetskates
Focused on my destination
I seem to have forgot my station
Now it’s time to face the nation
And I’m riding to meet you
On a brown gray speckled mare
But there’s something that unnerves me
Thinking no one really cares
And I’m jumping over fences
On this obstacle course But it seems I’m getting nowhere
On the concept of the horse
__TEGAN & SARA -- SUPERSTAR
Dignified in what she does when she sings
The smile that she brings to all of you
Unaware of what's to come
I said "Tell me, what's to come ?"
(...)
Soon my face will be on every magazine
Then my voice will be on every frequency
Take my heart
While you're at it
__MESSR CUPS -- LEARNING TO CONTROL MYSELF
Instrumental (with swooning sighs, etc)
__HAWKSLEY WORKMAN -- CLEVER NOT BEAUTIFUL
Sharks follow my trail & it won't be long
They've fallen for the oldest trick in the book
It never goes wrong oh no
Mask & snorkel & a bottle of ketchup
Oh those desperate old sharkfins start to circle me in anger
Oh be clever not beautiful, oh be clever not beautiful
If your goal is plain survival well then be clever not beautiful
__VOXTROT -- WRECKING FORCE
Cause somebody once said when I was young
Playing dead was just no fun
But these days I am a man, I'm not a boy
& you can be anyone
Or just some mother's wasted son
Oh you can be your own god if you want to
__FRIGHTENED RABBIT -- THE MODERN LEPER
Well I'm lying on the ground now and you're walking through the only door
Well I have lost my eye sight like I said I would
But I still know
And that is you in front of me
And you are back for even more of exactly the same
Well are you a masochist to love a modern leper on his last leg?
And you are not ill and I'm not dead
Doesn't that make us the perfect pair
Just you and me we'll start again
And you can tell me all about what you did today
What you did today
__OLD 97'S -- QUESTION
She woke from a dream
Her head was on fire
Why was he so nervous?
He took her to the park
She crossed her arms
& lowered her eyelids
Some day somebody's gonna ask you
A question that you should say yes to
Once in your life
Babe tonight I've got a question for you
__OKKERVIL RIVER -- OUR LIFE IS NOT A MOVIE OR MAYBE
It's just a life story, so there's no climax. No more new territory, so pull away the IMAX. In the slot that you sliced through the scene there was no shyness. In the plot that you passed through your teeth there was no pity. No fade in: film begins on a kid in the big city. & no cut to a costly parade that's for him only. No dissolve to a sliver of grey - that's his new lady, where she glows just like grain on the flickering pane of some great movie. (Hey, I'd watch it.)
It's just a house burning, but it's not haunted. It was your heart hurting, but not for too long, kid. In the socket you spin from with ease there is no sticking. From the speakers your fake masterpiece comes serenely dribbling. When the air around your chair fills with heat, that's the flames licking beneath the clock on the clean mantlepiece. It's got a calm clicking, like a pro at his editing suite takes two weeks stitching up some bad movie.
__THE HUSH SOUND -- LION'S ROAR
Delicate dame her fragile face
Was scared away without a trace
Out in the cold, where did she go?
Into unknown a place I'll never know
& the desperate search began
All across this sea & land
I just knew I'd find you here
I just knew I'd find you
(...)
We didn't know, we could not go
The circus songs just carried on
Out of the crowd three men rush out
& scream & shout, "Everybody Stop!"
__BLONDE REDHEAD -- ELEPHANT WOMAN
I shed no tears for broken me
You never know it my peace of mind
Now inside & outside are matching
__THE AFGHAN WHIGS -- IF I ONLY HAD A HEART
When a man's an empty kettle
he should be on his mettle
And yet I'm torn apart
Just because I'm presumin' that I could be kinda human
If I only had heart.
__AEROSMITH -- AIN'T THAT A BITCH
You think you're high & fine as wine
Then you wind up like a dog in a ditch
'Cause love is like a wrong turn on a cold night
Yeah Ain't That A Bitch
Ain't That A Bitch yeah yeah yeah
In a daze
In the throws of emotion
You see God in the Devil's eyes
Then you fall so far from grace
You wouldn't know a kiss
If it was on your face
You go telling to the jury
But you ain't got no case
__THE DRESDEN DOLLS -- HALF JACK
it's half biology & half corrective surgery gone wrong
you'll notice something funny if you hang around here for too
long ago in some black hole before they had these pills to take it back
I'm half Jill
& half Jack
two halves are equal
a cross between two evils
it's not an enviable lot
but if you listen
you'll learn to hear the difference
between the halfs & the half nots
__ANIMAL COLLECTIVE -- PEACEBONE
Well half of me waiting for myself to get calm
I'm like a pelican at red tide
I'm a corpse, I'm not a fisherman
A blow out does not mean I will have a good night
& an obsession with the past is like a kid flying
Just a few things are related to the old times
When we did believe in magic & we didn’t die
It's not my words that you should follow, it's your insight
Insight...(You trust your)
__MAN MAN -- TOP DRAWER
I know I've been told
I am dancing through
I am the top dog top dog
Hot dog hot dog
You need new body
You need a new latte
You need the lingering scent of holiday men doing hot pilate
I know
You cried "Wet cement!"
You love accidents
You wonder where true love went
'Cause a breeder in your bed don't butter your bread
__SUPER FURRY ANIMALS -- GOLDEN RETRIEVER
She's a golden retriever
Retrieves your oldest coin
Leads you blindly down every dark alley
Then she'll bleed you dry
Stop! Said the puppy
When I met him at the zebra cross
She said "You need protection
From every direction
But she'll get you anyhow"
__STARS -- HE LIED ABOUT DEATH
What gives you the right
To fuck with our lives?
A devil born in paradise
A liar loves to lie
Keep watching your back
Killers always have killers on their track
Keep watching the sky
'cause you might get lucky again
__DAVID USHER -- TRICKSTER
I'm the trickster burned so badly
I still hate you motherfuckers everyone
Wore my sickness so politely
I can't be your everything to everyone
Void of meaning swelled just slightly
I still need you I still need you
Gone forever so concisely
I still need you I still need you
Saved by the light
Let me go on let me go bright
To be saved by the light
Let me go on let me go bright
__JASON COLLETT -- WE ALL LOSE ONE ANOTHER
So this is the day of the dead
Of St. Jude and the lady of Guadeloupe
Apples and oranges
And silver coins for ghosts to gamble with
Marigolds and candles
This is birth and this is death
All in the same breath
We all lose one another along the way
__M.I.A FT DJ BLAQSTARR -- SAVE UR SOUL
When you walk through the garden
you gotta watch your back
If you walk with Jesus
he's gonna save your soul
but you gotta keep the devil
way down in the hole
