mix post: lethal and young
Man, oh man! This mix is so very perfect. What makes it especially so is the fact that roadmarks got a rough draft of ~11K and the final story came out at just under 33K. And this mix is still so damn perfect, it makes my mind boggle.
Also anyone who puts Butch Walker, Mumford and Sons, Florence + The Machine, and Fall Out Boy on the same mix automatically gets to be my favorite. That Third Eye Blind album was probably one of the first CDs I ever owned and remains one of my favorites to this day. I hadn't really heard of the remaining bands on the mix which is great because I am constantly looking for new music and this totally delivered.
I had the screenshot below from some research I'd done for the fic, so I hope roadmarks doesn't mind that I used it to link to the mix download. And if you download the mix (which you should, right now), let the mixer know - shower her with praise and internet sparkles, please!
~*~
1. Third Eye Blind - Narcolepsy
(I try to keep awake
but I can feel this narcolepsy slide
into another nightmare)
2. Florence + The Machine - Blinding
(seems that I have been held in some dreaming state
a tourist in the waking world, never quite awake
no kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber
until I realize that it was you who held me under)
3. Matthew Good Band - Strange Days
(are you crazy to want this even for a while?)
4. Mumford & Sons - Feel the Tide
(but you and I now, we can be all right
just hold on to what we know is true)
5. Fall Out Boy - Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy
(you need him, I could be him
could be an accident but I'm still trying)
6. Patrick Wolf - Overture
(it's wonderful what a smile can hide
if the teeth shine bright and it's nice and wide
it's so magical all you can keep inside
and if you bury it deep no one can find a thing, no)
7. Hey Rosetta - Red Confederates' Red Confessions
(when you leave it's a maze
it's amazing I can find my way
when the streets twist and blend
I always end up at your door again)
8. Beirut - Mimizan
(and I longed for you
yes, I long for you)
9. Butch Walker - Ships in a Bottle
(and I don't wanna know if there's another part of me
don't wanna feel if I'm alive
don't wanna smell the bed where you used to sleep
I'm gonna miss it again miss it again)
10. Hawksley Workman - Lethal and Young
(cause baby, it's a beggar being bitten by this bug
after all you're all young,
you're all lethal and young)
