Oh, god, I have missed your mixes so much! It never fails to kind of floor me how similar our tastes in music are. And ha, Jack Off Jill... that's one of the best covers of "Love Song" ever; most people just... frankly (and this only my opinion, of course) fuck it up so bad. Ugh. Bit of a purist when it comes to The Cure, but Jack Off Jill's cover really did something NEW to the song, gave it a twist and a different edge, but not without losing the core meaning of the song itself. And why am I prattling on about that so much? Whoa.
I seriously need to look into this show if it can inspire such awesome music. Damn. I've been having a blast with The Following myself, but that's not everyone's cuppa. Check it out though if you've not yet, it's good stuff and if it hooks you maybe a mix will come of that one, too. *koff*
I actually have almost every song on this mix, but I don't have the Carina Round or Lana Del Rey and was wondering if you'd share those as singles?
YOUR COMMENTS NEVER FAIL TO MAKE ME FLAIL A LITTLE!!!! First off, I'm so happy you approve of the song choices, and of course I can get you Carina and Lana as singles, Sendpace, right? Oh Jack off Jill's Lovesong, I adore it, it adds a level of obsessive desperation that is just amazing.
Totally watch Luther it is AMAZING. You know I had actually really been wanting to look into The Following, so it's good then? Because I don't know anyone who had watched it so I didn't have anyone to ask. Awesome. I'm glad to hear that!
:D Glad to make you flail because your mixes tend to do the same for me. Music is happiness and you have great taste; different takes and I love that you use songs that aren't straight off the Top 40 charts (because that gets tired and so much pop is so bad, but that's a different ramble for another day...). I did manage to get my hands on the Lana--and how AMAZING is that song? I just. No words. Except I love her! I still need the Carina though--I have an awful time finding her stuff and it sucks. Sendspace it is, yep.
Jack Off Jill: Yes, the added level of desperation and obsession is exactly what makes it such a truly stellar cover. <3
Will check out Luther when I have the chance to do so, it's on my list for later when I go a'visiting (and a'gorging on high speed internet). The Following... I don't even know where to begin aside from the fact it is, without a doubt, the best show I've seen in ages (that and Person of Interest). It totally blew me away in the pilot episode and has consistently done so ever since. It is twisted

Awww! Again, making me blush, you are far too sweet. And oh God, Lana, LANA, moon of my life, my sun and stars, that woman is incredible, so yeah, you can expect to see much of her on upcomming mixes, but for now here is the Carina song since she's a bit harder to come by.
Fun fact, the Jack off Jill Lovesong cover was actually the first song on this mix.
Well, I believe Luther is currently on Netflix instant watch, so that'll make it a little easier for you. God that show sounds ... Jesus, absolutely amazing, I am definitely looking into now. Also so excited about this song rec! The Dum Dum Girls do AMAZING covers, so I'm really excited to hear their treatment of that, holy cow.
I still find it one of the biggest compliments ever that you like this mix so much without having seen the show, it makes me feel all happy and smishy, and yes I know that isn't a word.
I'm not able to download this just now and don't know most of the songs... but a) I love that someone made this, even now, during the lull; b) the cover is fantastic; c) Every Breath You Take? Perfect choice.
Thank you so much!!!! I'd been wanting to make an Alice mix for a bit and I was recently given the final shove to finish it up since it had been sitting half made on my computer for a year.
I'm so glad you agree! Nothing really says all consuming stalker-ish love like that song, right?
