(no subject)
I've always thought that the Frankenstein Mix project is a nifty idea. So, as a sign of support I've decided to, well, actually participate.
1. A song for shredding paperwork. Marilyn Manson 'Lunchbox'
Because I think the song nicely captures the spirit of gleeful destruction.
2. A song to howl along with. Kaiser Chiefs 'The Angry Mob'
Because Kaiser Chiefs win and it has wicked lyrics.
3. A song for frustrated ambition. Franz Ferdinand 'The Fallen'
Because sometimes you just don't fit and society is too big for you to fight against.
4. A song that speaks to your fears. Johnny Cash 'God's Gonna Cut You Down'
Because, in the end, all we are really afraid of is failure.
5. A song you wouldn't throw out of bed, if it came to that. Lenny Kravitz 'Are You Gonna Go My Way'
Because it would probably be lots and lots of dirty fun.
6. A song for the days when you're Don Quixote. Michael Bublé 'Feeling Good'
Because being Don Quixote is about feeling that everything is possible and at the grasp of your hand, if you only try (which might actually not be true, because I haven't read Cervantes and the only thing I know about Don Quixote are the freaking windmills).
7. A song for will-they-won't-they. Suede 'Attitude'
Because I felt like an edgier version of pre-romance tactics.
8. A song for a surfeit of love. Garbage '#1 Crush'
Because I think 'surfeit of love' is when you cross the line between love and unhealthy obsession.
9. A song for a slow drive through the desert. The Hollies 'Searchin''
Because these tunes are simply perfect for driving, though I won't actually be driving, since I don't as a rule, and will be chilling in the passenger seat instead.
10. A song like chamomile tea. The White Stripes 'We're Going To Be Friends'
Frankly, I hate chamomile tea, but I decided to play anyway. So, calming and relaxing, right? Ok.
Because that song never fails to make me stop whatever I'm doing and just smile.
11. A song you wish you had (or could have) listened to as a 15-year-old. White Rabbits 'Kid On My Shoulders'
Because I simply think it's good. No hidden meaning, just that. I was an extremely practical and angst-free teenager, the whole 'music that plays to my pain' emo crap that teenagers frequently suffer from eluded me completely. Music is just music.
12. A song you keep wanting to delete from your hard drive, but can't. The Blood Brothers 'Piano Song'
Because, even though I'm pretty positive that it's more bangly noise than actual music, I just-- I just can't. It sorta snags at you, I have no idea how.
13. A song that sets you giggling (at least in theory). Arctic Monkeys 'Love Machine'
Because it's Arctic Monkeys doing a cover of Girls Aloud. Come on, that's hilarious.
14. A song you listened to this morning. Wolf Parade 'You Are A Runner And I Am My Father's Son'
Because I really really wanted to include this one too and I played it this morning so that it fits.
Have fun with that.
