Dean/Castiel Fanmix: Fighting Days
So is it kinda crazy that I, the most gigantic music freak I know on LJ, have never made a fanmix?
Well, thanks to the Dean/Castiel Co-op Swap, I finally gave in and made one. birddi requested this mix: "I'd like a fanmix which has fighting music, the kind that gets your blood pumping to smack a brat! Dean and Castiel fight all types of things (not including themselves and each other) and I really want some music to write actiony stuff to." I hope I covered all the bases. :)
This gave me the opportunity to get Radiohead, the Buzzcocks, and The Polyphonic Spree on the same mix. I'd go into why I picked each one, and why I placed each song in each location in the mix ('cuz that's important), and which song is from which point of view but... well, when it comes to music I tend to ramble. A lot.
I will say I made an effort to at least pick songs that wouldn't severely scare people. I tried. I really did. There still might be songs that make people scream and go hide in the corner.
So. Here we go. Are you prepared for my wickedly eclectic tastes in tunes?
01 2+2=5 (The Lukewarm) - Radiohead
it's the devil's way now; there is no way out
you can scream and you can shout; it is too late now
02 Plaster Casts of Everything - Liars
we saved our lives forever; we saved our lives together
you say let's ride this wave; for the rest to say let's leave today
03 Witness - Screaming Trees
i told a lie; that's what i said
i told the one you know i'll always keep
whose god is mine; the one with the witness
04 Hit the City - Mark Lanegan Band
ghost arrives at its bitter end; to the promised land and the dark descents
i'm babylon, burned inside out
05 What People are Made Of - Modest Mouse
way in back of the room there sits a cage
it says to come, but you can win if you forget to change
which you never can do; cuz its time to constantly change
06 Break My Body - The Pixies
i am the ugly lover; you'll find us rolling on the dirty floor
break my body; hold my bones
07 Between Heaven and Hell - The Buzzcocks
and everything you thought you knew; is different from before
something stuck in my mind between heaven and hell
08 I Wanna Be Your Dog - The Stooges
now i'm ready to close my eyes; and now i'm ready to close my mind
and now i'm ready to feel your hand; and lose my heart on the burning sands
09 I Should Have Known Better - Yo La Tengo
you don't realize; until after it has begun
whether this is the one; i probably knew better
10 Astronomy Domine - Pink Floyd
lime and limpid green; a second scene,
a fight between the blue; you once knew.
11 Lucifer Rising - The Flaming Lips
sinners in style, always breathing; where we loved it now we need it
why else do we love it we'll still read it; why else do we love it why else do i love it
12 Rebellion (Lies) - The Arcade Fire
hidin' from your brothers; underneath the covers,
come on hide your lovers
underneath the covers
13 The Championship - The Polyphonic Spree
beyond this fiery stage, we celebrate..
raise our voice, make another sound
all in good time, we will come around
beyond the full of skylight
we'd say "what a day!"
(all in good time)

Comments would be awesome. Let me know if I'm too insane. :)
