Medium: Television Fandom: "Friday Night Lights" Subject: Lyla Garrity Title: so, be queen Notes: Most songs are .mp4 format. You can convert them here.
Medium: Television Fandom: "Freaks and Geeks" Subject: Kim Kelly Title: go on my brilliant blonde Notes: I realize this is a mix for a fandom that is very, very dead, for a character a good portion of people WILL NOT RECOGNIZE, but fuck it. In the last month of watching this show, in eighteen goddamn episodes, Kim Kelly has become one of my favorite characters of all time, and she deserves a mix and undoubtedly a picspam, at some point. Hopefully this does her some kind of justice. Also: a lot of songs are in .mp4 format. Go here if you need to convert them.
Again, Jackie asked for a mix for the story she's going to start writing soon. Um. THIS TOOK WAY LONGER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD, and I'm still not entirely sure about it but... if nothing else, the songs are good. Also: Taylor Swift is not actually on this mix. I know, I know. SO DISAPPOINTING.
Ummm. JACKIE ASKED ME TO DO THIS because she is writing fic (which I maaaaybe guilted her into doing, uh), and I owe her like nine thousand mixes for the ones she made me in the past and hey! The music is really pretty, even if it maybe possibly only makes sense to me. So.
Medium: Television Fandom: "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"/"Angel" Subject: Faith Lehane Title: the road’s gonna end on me Notes: Consider this the result of waaaay too much time thinking about this character lately. THANKS FOR TAKING OVER MY BRAINSPACE, UGH. Most songs are .mp4 format. You can convert them here.
01. I keep forgetting to mention this, but I LOVE IT. It used to be every time I walked into the kitchen I wanted to cry, because I was inevitably confronted by a pile of dishes any time I wanted to get a glass of water. Now, even when someone does leave a dish or two, I get to see this: ( Collapse ) It makes me a little less inclined to kill everybody, and therefore it is golden. Also, it makes me tempted to put quotes around "fuckin'" every time I type/text it. AND NOTICE THE EXCLAMATION POINT. Tito!
02. I found out today that I officially passed my GED. I don't know my score yet, but, WHATEVER. At least there is one thing in my life that I haven't been a fuck-up about. Of course, I am reversing some of this through vodka and cigarettes and eating meat again, but WHATEVER. New York wants me to be unhealthy!
04. Every time I watch Swing Kids, I get almost all the way through and think, "Damn, I guess I'm not going to cry this time." And then the last thirty seconds hit and I start weeping like a tiny child. I cannot believe there is not already fic for this movie, because Thomas is so obsessed with Peter that it sort of disturbs me. I totally have something started in my notebook, what. I love writing for non-existent fandoms!
05. Apparently I like a lot of songs that start with C? Refer again to theseposts.
o1.Margot & the Nuclear So and So's - Cheap Motel Room: If you wanna walk away, just do so softly. I ain't in the mood to talk, so get up off me. No one ever leaves their home to go somewhere they detest. [This is at least the third time I've posted this song, but I WILL NOT BE SATISFIED until every single one of you has downloaded this song & told me how much you love it. Or at least the first part to that sentence. ;p)
o2.Bright Eyes - The Calendar Hung Itself: I drug your ghost across the country and we plotted out my death. In every city memories would whisper, "Here is where you rest." I was determined in Chicago, but I dug my teeth into my knees, and I settled for a telephone saying into your machine, "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine..."
o3.Fiona Apple - The Child Is Gone: Honey, help me out of this mess. I'm a stranger to myself. But don't reach for me, I'm too far away. I don't wanna talk 'cause there's nothing left to say.
o4.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." [One of my favorite songs in the entire world. Jason Molina is a god.]
o6.Mirah - Cold Cold Water: And I'm so number one that it's a shame, a shame that you let other numbers in the game. [This song is EPIC. Her voice, the lyrics - just, it's fucking perfect.]
o7.Phantom Planet - Confess: So you cross your friends off one by one either they're busy or they are no fun.
o8.Emily Haines & the Soft Skeleton - Crowd Surf off a Cliff: Cursed with a love that you can't express. It's not for a fuck or a kiss. Rather give the world away, than wake up lonely. Everywhere and every way, I see you with me.
11.Glassjaw - Convectuoso: I dine with wolves again. I travel with theives again. What did I teach you? What did I teach you? You're lying, you're lying. We are OK, in a misguided sadist way. We are OK. We are OK, in a disabled veteran way. We are OK.
13.The Dresden Dolls - Colorblind: I know its dark for good. I never listen when I should. You only see in black and white, so go on back to your own kind, and I'll go back to mine. [This song is so good that it sort of wrecks me every time I listen to it.]
14.The Strokes - Clampdown (Clash cover): But you grow up and you calm down and you're workin' for the Clampdown. You start wearing blue & brown and workin' for the Clampdown. Kick over the wall, cuz government's to fall. How can you refute it? Let fury have the hour, anger can be power. D'you know that you can use it?
You guys, there is no way to even BEGIN talking about how ridiculous my life has gotten in the past month. I mean, really. Cigarettes, coffee, music & Jackie have kept me up lately (mostly those last two <3), but stuff is just so fucking stupidly bad lately. I'm actually having a good sense of humor about it right now; before I left Wisconsin just about everyone told me YOU WILL DO SO WELL IN NEW YORK, but there were a few people who said, "New York is going to eat you alive." What they really should have said was, "You are going to eat yourself alive in New York." I mean, really. No one can screw me over the way I screw over myself. I need a fuckin' reset button, or something. Basically: I'm unemployed, my bank account is rapidly depleting, I live with a bunch of disgusting morons (one of whom is pregant and you guys KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE KIDS [/sarcasm]), and my head is going crazy, crazy places. I know exactly what I have to do but don't know where to start so instead I'm doing nothing.
Uhh. I just deleted a bunch of stuff here. I LOVE MY SISTER, liarface that she might be. That is all.
I have a couple of music memes I've been tagged for, but this one looks like the most fun, so: I have 4,330 items in my iTunes. Pick 4-5 numbers between 1 and 4,330 and I will upload the corresponding songs. Even if you skipped over the rest of this entry DO THIS, GUYS. Distractions are love, especially music-related ones!
Also, Julian Casablancas? Still so, so relevant to my interests. I love this motherfucker like burning, I really do.
