It's done! It's finally done! That Mopey Incestuous Codependent Petrelli Brothers fanmix I've been poking at for months is finally actually done! I would love to hear feedback on this because it changed so many times and I'm really quite happy with it. Especially track 4. I'm quite proud of track 4.
Find the zip file ( HERE ) and the song list
1. Peter Mulvey "The Trouble with Poets"
2. Radiohead "Where I End and You Begin"
3. Azure Ray "Look To Me"
4. Eve 6 "At Least We're Dreaming"
This is probably also the Peter song for me (both pre-series and in the show itself).
5. Orenda Fink "Bloodline"
6. Orgy "Blue Monday"
7. The Sounds "Much Too Long"
8. 30 Seconds To Mars "Savior"
(I know he only bought a one-way ticket.)
9. The Mountain Goats "Mole"
Nathan with Peter, after "Fallout"
10. Cyndi Lauper & Sarah Mclachlan "Time After Time (acoustic)"
11. Tweaker "the house i grew up in"
This has that all-American quality, the nostalgia, the dream for better days both past and still to come.
(bonus 1) Andrew W.K. "I love NYC"
A bit too "up" for the rest of the mix, but it's here for all the times the boys fly around the city in dreams and in waking.
(bonus 2) Wintersleep "People Talk"
Almost the perfect N/P song. It's that the last line that kills it, the line that makes me collapse into inappropriate giggles.

1. Peter Mulvey "The Trouble with Poets"
The trouble with you is you drive me nutsA song for the kid at the back of the classroom staring out the window with his head in the clouds.
I cannot tell what's behind your smile
2. Radiohead "Where I End and You Begin"
There's a gap where we meetNathan's a shark.
Where I end and you begin
And I'm sorry for us
3. Azure Ray "Look To Me"
I know you're right as I begin to packIn fanon, the Petrelli boys don't want the brother love, they want that other love (with deepest apologies to Leonard Cohen for mangling his line)...
Without raising your eyes I hear you sigh, "Oh you'll be back"
Because I look to you and you look to me
We're a real fucked up family
4. Eve 6 "At Least We're Dreaming"
To the corner to call collectI get the feeling that pre-series Peter wasn't too happy.
Your mother wants to know are you happy yet
Waitin' for someone to come along and find you
This is probably also the Peter song for me (both pre-series and in the show itself).
5. Orenda Fink "Bloodline"
They'll take care of youAlso, incest! Yay!
They're still your family
No matter what they've done to you
6. Orgy "Blue Monday"
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell meNathan and Peter have power and control issues. (They also have hot, wrong, incesty sex! Yay!)
Just how I should feel today
7. The Sounds "Much Too Long"
I don't feel rejected but I feel neglectedNathan has a brother, a wife and a need to keep up appearances. Peter only has Nathan.
You know me too well
But you keep twisting my arm
8. 30 Seconds To Mars "Savior"
Until you see, how could you believe?...Peter, as he decides to go to Odessa.
This is my chance, this is my chance
(I know he only bought a one-way ticket.)
9. The Mountain Goats "Mole"
Nathan with Peter, after "Fallout"
10. Cyndi Lauper & Sarah Mclachlan "Time After Time (acoustic)"
Watching through windowsRomantic, yet with possessive overtones and a creepy aftertaste.
You're wondering if I'm OK
11. Tweaker "the house i grew up in"
This has that all-American quality, the nostalgia, the dream for better days both past and still to come.

Date: 2007-05-09 01:15 am (UTC)See-- I looked up the lyrics and that line, talking about the brains falling out? It TOTALLY makes sense because Sylar eats brains. SEE? SEE??? What ever would you do without me?
Also: Azure Rayyyyy. A+++
FANKS!

Date: 2007-05-09 01:38 am (UTC)Amen on the Azure Ray, for all-round awesome. H'ver: I think the Orenda Fink song works even better.
YOUS WELCOME! Enjoy! (And let me know what you think of track 4, k?)

Date: 2007-05-09 08:14 pm (UTC)Tegan & Sara are releasing a new album this summer so I'm hoping they'll be my first. Um, concert that is.
FO SRS. How do people write these songs and not have them be about brothers who are in love? Like-- REALLY.

Date: 2007-05-12 05:12 pm (UTC)I hope I'll get to see T&S when they tour the new album because I missed them the last time they were around. I've never seen them. :(

And then there are the tracks like Blue October's "For My Brother" and that Toad the Wet Sprocket one or Elton John's "Daniel My Brother" and they're just WOAH.
An overabundance of italics, because I can.
Date: 2007-05-09 02:49 am (UTC)Music! About Heroes! From Char! (2 espresso shots at 8:30pm = not so good for the concentration or the coherency)
No, I must finish this damn dramaturgy* project, as 'tis due tomorrow. Shakespeare and Midsummer first, then music. Yes! The music will be my carrot. Prize. Reward. Thing.
*Dramaturgy? I swear, who thinks of these words? Why couldn't we call it something less bathroom-humor-inducing, like "theatrical research"? I've answered my own question: clearly, calling someone a Dramaturg is faaaar more amusing!
If these shadows have offended, think but this and all is mended?
Date: 2007-05-09 02:19 pm (UTC)I do like the word dramaturgy, because it’s far cooler sounding than film theory. Because seriously, what is that? People sitting around and agreeing that film theoretically could exist? Dramaturge, however, sounds weighty. And also vaguely sexual. And being a Dramaturg would be an awesome line to put on a resume!
That you have but slumbered here/ While these visions did appear
Date: 2007-05-10 02:25 am (UTC)OOO. Handmade coffee icecream? That sounds heavenly! I'm nibbling on muddie buddies that my awesomely adoreable sister made and sent up as exam fodder. They're rice Chex covered in melted chocolate and a hint of peanut butter, then rolled in powered sugar. That, my friend, is the good crack. And the fabulous sis sent up two huge bags of the stuff! Much yummyness.
I'm Dramagurging (*snerfle*) for next semester's production of Jungalbook, so repeated use of the word is in store! Now I'm off to finish my last 2 papers (ok, one's just a 3 page "personal reflection"). Unsurprisingly, I'm writting about Midsummer for the real paper. Actually, I'm writing about Puck, Bottom, and the role of the Fool in Midsummer. Gawd I love this play!
And this weak and idle theme/ no more yielding but a dream.
Date: 2007-05-10 02:32 am (UTC)*which is, in fact, not the same as venereal, but my inner 12 year old boy snickers all the same.
Avoiding Midsummer? Who, me?
Gentles, do not reprehend:/ if you pardon, we will mend
Date: 2007-05-10 02:35 am (UTC)And, as I am an honest Puck,/ If we have unearned luck
Date: 2007-05-10 02:36 am (UTC)Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,/ We will make amends ere long;
Date: 2007-05-10 02:37 am (UTC)Else the Puck a liar call;/ So, good night unto you all.
Date: 2007-05-10 02:38 am (UTC)Give me your hands, if we be friends,/ And Robin shall restore amends.
Date: 2007-05-10 02:39 am (UTC)Ele th Puc a lia cal;/ So, goo nigh uno yo al.
Date: 2007-05-10 03:07 am (UTC)Gentle, o no repreend:/ i yo paron, e ill men

Date: 2007-05-12 05:03 pm (UTC)Ooo! Since I'm on a music kick at the moment... my next playlist project is going to be a Midsummer playlist! Yays!

Self-pimpage: I just posted a pile of music, most or all of which I'm sure you'll like. The Architecture in Helsinki track, particularly. :D

Date: 2007-05-12 05:38 pm (UTC)As far as the other songs, I've no idea. Haven't actually gotten so far as to, ya know, think about it yet. Just liked the idea. *sheepish*
GAA! I'm listening to "Strange Religion" right now!

Download the songs. I spent a lot of time putting them in that order. Do it and I may consider picnics.

Date: 2007-05-10 11:06 pm (UTC)Depending on what else you've got going on tomorrow, I thought we could do one of three things. One, if you want to e-mail me your phone number (2 at sympatico dot cee ay), I can give you a call if the package comes at like 2:01 or something, which is not out of the realm of possibility as UPS is often in this area on the early end. Two, if you're not doing anything in the early evening, we could do it then instead. Or three, we can cancel it and try to find another day.
I'm really sorry about this--I know we've had it planned for a while. Unfortunately, I really need to get this package before the weekend. Gah, I sort of had a feeling this was going to happen.
