Fanmix Rec Post
Here there be awesome fanmixes!
I've been meaning to do something like this for a while. By which I mean, "I told my girlfriend I would do this back in November, and it is still not done. Whoops. Enjoy, love?" Because everyone needs more awesome music, right?
Spoilers for all of Series 5, and much of the rest of Doctor Who, under the cut.
The Company of the Young by mresundance
Fandom and Pairing: Doctor Who, Eleven/Amy
Tracks: 11
Favorite Songs: The Moth (Aimee Mann), Tickle Me (Danielle Spencer), Tainted Love (Marilyn Manson), Hoodoo (Muse)
Notes: Based strongly on "Amy's Choice," this explores the Doctor's dark side, expressed in the Dream Lord, as well as his relationship with Amy. The title comes from a quote from the Dream Lord: "The old man prefers the company of the young." Not as much Eleven/Amy as an exploration of how their relationship has some troubling connotations, and the Doctor's desire for the relationship that she has with Rory.
Riding on the Edge of a Black Hole by spadul
Fandom and Pairing: Doctor Who, Eleven/Amy
Tracks: 12 - includes one instrumental
Favorite Songs: Moving Pictures Silent Films (Great Lake Swimmers), Black & Blue (Chris Garneau), What He Wrote (Laura Marling), Your Rocky Spine (Great Lake Swimmers)
Notes: An exploration of the Doctor's relationship with Amy, starting from the moment he met Amelia Pond and promised her that he'd come back.
Here in Your Arms by lornathatsme
Fandom and Pairing: Doctor Who, Amy/Rory
Tracks: 9
Favorite Songs: Because I Do (Pearl and the Puppets), Drops of Jupiter (Train), Thoughts of Flight (Edmund)
Notes: The post also includes a few cute icons. Includes two songs by Edmund, a band which includes Arthur Darvill, the actor who plays Rory. Which is kind of an adorable idea, even if he did finish long before he was cast for Series 5.
Also: Download link not currently working at the moment.
I Could Never Forget You by professor_spork
Fandom and Pairing: Doctor Who, Amy/Rory
Tracks: 13 - includes one poem set to music
Favorite Tracks: To the Moon and Back (Savage Garden), Quick (Eddie from Ohio), Away with the Pixies (Ben Lee), Love is Only Sleeping (The Monkees), Halo (Beyoncé)
Notes: Includes a synopsis that details how all the songs fit into Amy and Rory's journey in Series 5. Spans their changing relationship dynamics really well.
The Planets Bend Between Us by luminessa
Fandom and Pairing: Doctor Who, Amy/Rory
Tracks: 10 - includes one in French, and one instrumental
Favorite Tracks: Us (Regina Spektor), Le ciel dans une chambre (Carla Bruni), Glasgow Love Theme (Craig Armstrong)
Notes: Includes a series of drabbles for the various songs, which span all of Amy and Rory's time together. Somewhat dark, but quite gorgeous.
Love in a World Gone Wrong bythe_tenzo
Fandom and Pairing: Doctor Who, Amy/Rory
Tracks: 11
Favorite Tracks: World Gone Wrong (Bob Dylan), In the Future When All's Well (Morrissey), Dream Baby (How Long Must I Dream) (Roy Orbison), Rock of Gibraltar (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds)
Notes: Includes a picspam to go along with the songs. Download link not currently working.
All That You Have Seen by turtle_goose
Fandom and Pairing: Doctor Who, Amy/Rory
Tracks: 10 - includes one instrumental, from the BBC soundtrack
Favorite Tracks: Turn and Turn Again (Bailey Tzuke), Harbor (Vienna Teng), Life is Wonderful (Jason Mraz)
Notes: Arranged as Amy and Rory the married couple looking back on their first adventures as a couple and thinking about what the future holds for them. Bittersweet and thoughtful and occasionally really cute.
And that is all of them. I may or may not add more later on, or make another post like this. Because new music is awesome, especially free new music! :D
