an anthony weiner and huma abedin fanmix

Yeah. Anthony Weiner is my 2nd favorite Congressman, and I've adored his wife ever since I found out she existed, really. For one of my fashion-y blog posts, I posted an outfit inspired by Huma Abedin. For some reason (I think I know why) I just can't get these two out of my head. This incident is tremendously embarrassing and unfortunate and it's ( Read more... )

downloading this because it is a really good mix and i like how the music flows as this unravels

good job

Thanks. :) I liked how it flowed, too, for the most part. And I LOVED that I was able to use all female vocalists. There's a certain power that only women can harness in their voices. And even though I HATE repeating the same artist on a single soundtrack, I was okay with using three Adele songs. ;) She kind of makes the soundtrack. Thanks again.

yay for Adele! Her voice and her songs... perfect for certain situations. And i totally agree!

snagging because its a great mix. The whole scandal, while I laugh on the outside, really makes me sad. He has done so much for women's rights & the working class. :-(

I know! :( It's so sad.

Crap. Posted from my other account. It's FF, just under my book blog name, suchalitwit.

Aw man, I'm really excited about this! You obviously put a lot of effort into this, and I understand how you tried to get it all out via fanmix, to try to purge the need to obsess over them. I like how you modeled it after grief - it works very well (even bargaining haha ( ... )

Hahaha. Thank you! <3 I just remember looking at random AA stuff and learning about that in a health class in high school and seeing "put your faith in a higher power," and thinking "...Why is that always interpreted as God?" Because like you said, karma is another example of a higher power, but all the other AA stuff I've seen emphasizes God, and it just seemed exclusive to me. And rude.

And yes, I know. :( I HATE this so much. He did so much good in his time in Congress. And now, if he doesn't bow to the pressure to resign (REALLY BARACK OBAMA? IF YOU WERE WEINER YOU'D RESIGN? WELL IF I WERE YOU I'D PULL OUT OF AFGHANISTAN!) he'll still be something of a toothless tiger. :/ Ugh. WHY ARE MEN STUPID.

Also, since Huma is like a daughter to Bill and Hilary, I CRINGE at the thought of Weiner talking to Hilary about this mess. It's going to be brutal. Holy crap. Scary. o_O

(This is FurtiveFanmixes, btw, under my book blog name. Stupid thing won't let me switch out, so whatever.)

I don't have the words like some of the other commenter about this mix, but I will say it strikes a chord with me and I'll be taking.

Although, like you- I hope they work it out.

Thank you.

furtivefanmixes June 16 2011, 06:14:42 UTC

You're very, very welcome. Thanks so much for the comment. :) Sigh. I hope it works out, too.

Wow, I love how much thought you put into the commentary. This scandal/Anthony Weiner's actions has been so disappointing; he was one of my favorite congressmen because of how he fought for important issues, and then this comes out? Eugh. I hate the resignation calls. What he did was awful, but he's an awesome Dem fighter, and we can't afford to lose any of those, especially when most of the GOP has gone batshit. ~_~

Anyway, these songs choices look amazing; looking forward to listening to it. Thank you for putting this together.

furtivefanmixes June 16 2011, 08:13:53 UTC

I feel exactly the same way. :/ I swear, I could STRANGLE him for this stupid crap! He really is one of the best fighters for the Democrats and he had to go screw it up. And then to make it worse, Dems are just bailing on him right and left. At least when GOP congressmen have sex scandals, the GOP tries to stand by them. WTF. Ugggh. Depressing.

And thanks. I did kind of put some thought into this. And I'm actually listening to it right now. :P It's definitely my most-listened fanmix out of the ones I've made, beating out even my Sideshow Bob one. LOL.
