insomnia music post
Um. Let's pretend this is practice for potentially joining startrekbigbang 2010 instead of just me being an enormous flailing dork?
Yeah, that's a cover right there. shut up I know
This playlist more or less covers the first four chapters of the fic. Impending volume number two, which is already finished and ready to be shared, will be added to this post next week, concurrent with the ff.net post of chapter five.
playlist:
01. Sleepless, Soul Coughing
"Well I call for sleep / but sleep it won't come to me / shuffling in the hallway / I can hear him on the stairs..."
02. Fantino, Sebastien Tellier
03. Tea Leaf Dancers, Flying Lotus
"Now I can't seem to get it / and in my mind I'm bettin' / my time's made up, I gotta go..."
04. Sleepwalking (Couples Only Dance Prom Night), Modest Mouse
"I fell in love / and I needed a roadmap / to find out where you lived / so excited now..."
05. Badfish, Sublime
"When you grab a hold of me / you tell me that I'll never be set free / but I'm a parasite / creep and crawl I step into the night..."
06. Read, Eat, Sleep, The Books
07. The Girl Next Green Door, Fantastic Plastic Machine
08. I'm Sleeping In a Submarine, Arcade Fire
"I'm sleeping in a battle ship / I'm sleeping in a submarine / I'm sleeping in a fighter plane / I'm sleeping going down the drain..."
09. Coat Check Dream Song, Bright Eyes
"Shrill as a choir of children / urgent like the first day of May / false and inflatable feeling / tugs at my senses, big as the Macy's Parade..."
10. Nice Dream, Radiohead
"I call up my friend, the good angel / but she's out with her ansaphone / she says she would love to come help but / the sea would electrocute us all..."
11. Big Wednesday, Freeland
12. Broken Promise, Joe Boyd Vigil
13. (extra awesome secret track that you'll find when you unzip that sexy beast! :D)
So there you have it, all ready to be enjoyed right here. (Tiny request: if you snag, would you mind commenting? I'm totally dying to know who stumbles across this, and if it pushes any of your happy buttons. IT PUSHES A LOT OF MINE.)
ETA ONE WEEK LATER: So volume two has totally been added, complete with lame CD cover. Don't ask me why I do this shit to my credibility.
This playlist covers approximately the last three chapters and the epiloque. A bit more lyric-heavy this time. And since I, um, totally forgot to mention it up there (I think?), I shamelessy ganked all character art for these covers from the manga. Both images of Jounouchi come from chapter one, the image of Kaiba from chapter seven (or nine? Whatever, his intro chapter).
playlist:
01. Hypnosis Theme, Wax Tailor
"Now count backward from ten..."
02. Stoned, Dido
"When you're stoned, baby / and I am drunk / and we make love it seems / a little desolate..."
03. La Petite Fille De La Mer, Vangelis
04. Left Hand Suzuki Method, Gorillaz
"The most important thing is listening / to the recording of the music..."
05. True Dreams of Wichita, Soul Coughing
"They say 'you had it, but you sold it / you didn't want it,' no / I'm half drunk on static you transmit..."
06. Horses In My Dreams, PJ Harvey
"Horses in my dreams / like waves, like the sea / on the tracks of a train..."
07. Alone in Kyoto, Air Bomb
08. スケアクロウ (Scarecrow), The Pillows
"Kikoeru darou unazuite yo (You can hear it, right? I can see you nodding) / fusawashii ongaku ga chiisakute mo kie sou demo (that fitting music; even though it's faint; even though it's about to disappear) / kikoeru darou (you can hear it, right?)..."
09. Night Drive, Jimmy Eat World
"Your lips go dry, but they're sweet inside / wine must go right to your head / it'd be easy if you get mad / but three fingers point back to you..."
10. Sleep, The Dandy Warhols
"If I could sleep forever / I could forget about everything..."
11. November Has Come, Gorillaz
"Something is starting today / where did he go? why you wanted to be? / well you know, November has come / when it's gone away..."
12. Are You Awake?, Kevin Shields
13. (another extra awesome secret track, GO FIGURE)
SO HERE IT IS.
Happy music times, everyone. ♥
