all my icons.
i'm bored so i thought i'd upload all my existing LJ icons, including the ones i've made for other people, and describe their sources. all my LJ icons conform to a simple pattern: the text on the image is a song title, the song itself usually relating in some way to the image. i will provide links to the music if possible, lyrics if not. if the image source is particularly obscure i will provide a link to that as well.
all these are in alphabetical order by title; it's too much of a headache to try and organize them by creation, especially when some of these date from 2001.
special notes will be added when warranted.

IMG: silent hill 2 MUS: anathema - a fine day to exit
IMG: x-files 1X08: "ice" MUS: saliva - after me i made this during an obsession with the john carpenter movie the thing. the x-files episode in question was one big homage to the film, albeit somewhat unintentionally. the song was used as the credits theme for the thing game.
