By FAR the geekiest thing I've ever done.
In an act of incredible geekness ... I made a fanmix! A majority of it is 80s music [or sounds like it], just because. Hopefully none of this is too cliche-ed ... and hopefully most of these songs are self-explanatory.

The Clash - Lost in the Supermarket
I wasn't born so much as I fell out
nobody seemed to notice me
we had a hedge back home in the suburbs
over which I never could see
DeVotchKa - How it Ends
Hold your Grandmother's Bible to your breast
Gonna put it to the test
You wanted it to be blessed
and in your heart you know it to be true
you know what you've gotta do
it all depends on you
and you already know how this will end.
Future Bible Heroes - The World is a Disco Ball
The world is a disco ball
and we're little mirrors, one and all
Remember, when you feel very small
the world is a disco ball.
From Havannah to Hong Kong
Someone's dancing all night long
Collective Soul - The World I Know
Are we listening to hyms of offering?
Have we eyes to see that love is gathering?
All the words that Ive been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding into one.
Stevie Nicks - Talk to Me
Dusty words lying under carpets
Seldom heard
Why must you keep your secrets
Locked inside hidden safe from view?
Well, is it all that hard
Is it all that tough
Well, I've shown you all my cards now isn't that enough
You can hide your hurt
But, theres something you can do
You can talk to me
Radiohead - Creep
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't care if it's hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
[Yay for Jonfen and his inferiority complex.]
The Cure - Pictures of You
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you.
Nena Wilde - Anyplace, Anywhere, Anytime
Wrap your fingers around my neck
You don't speak my dialect
But our images reflect
Drawn together by the flame
We are just the same
Embrace the wind and fall
into another time and space.
If we don't belong to each other
We belong anyplace, anywhere, anytime.
Joy Division - Walked in Line
All dressed in uniforms so fine,
They drank and killed to pass the time,
Wearing the shame of all their crimes,
With measured steps, they walked in line.
Placebo - Pierrot the Clown
Leave me dreaming on the bed
See you right back here tomorrow
For the next round.
Keep this scene inside your head
As the bruises turn to yellow...
And if you're ever around
in the city or the suburbs of this town
Be sure to come around
I'll be wallowing in sorrow
Wearing a frown
Like Pierrot the Clown.
David Gray - The Other Side
Maybe I ought to mention
Was never my intention
To harm you or your kin
Are you so scared to look within?
The ghosts are crawling on our skin.
We may race and we may run
Will not undo what has been done
Or change the moment when it's gone.
[This entire song seems INCREDIBLY Eli/Herschel to me. Nobody else seems to like them ... but I do. Their story is just too sad.]
VAST - Flames
Close your eyes
Let me touch you now.
Let me give you something that is real
Close the door
Leave your fears behind
Let me give you what you're giving me.
You are the only thing
That makes me want to live at all
When I am with you
There's no reason to pretend.
When I am with you
I feel flames again
Just put me inside you
I would never ever leave.
Just put me inside you
I would never ever leave you.
[Alex loves Jonathan a lot. Anyone who thinks it's fanon should read the book.]
